Seville's cathedral, Santa Maria de la Sede, is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, and is recognised as UNESCO World Heritage.
Minaret of the central mosque of Seville, which is today the , its construction began in 1184. Its name comes from the weathervane at the top of tower and which is known as the Giraldillo, which is in fact probably the best known symbol of the city. It was originally called the Triumph of the Victorious Faith and was once the largest bronze sculpture of the European Renaissance.
The Alcázar of Seville is one of the most representative monumental compounds in the city, the country and the Mediterranean culture as a whole. The historical evolution of the city in the last millennium is held within its walls and gardens, amalgamating influences starting from the Arabic period, late Middle Ages Mudéjar right through to the Renaissance, Baroque and the XIX century.

I would never use this tour operator ever!!! We were in a car accident and informed the tour operator of this and that we clearly could not make the tour. We requested a refund or at the very least a credit toward a future tour. The tour operator did not even have the courtesy to respond to us. This person should be fired immediately. What a horrible.human being. We have since been released.from the hospital and are ok now.
Disaster. No guide turned up. After lots of texts I was finally told there was no tour. Yet they had taken the money and confirmed my spot. There was no tour as no one else turned up. They totally wasted my time. No apology. Yet to get my refund! Taking a booking for something that does not exist is otherwise known as a scam. Went and saw the sites on my own. Heaps cheaper! Avoid this company.
We toured with Francesco and he was very good. We toured all three places. Francesco couldn’t come up to the tower as guides are not allowed but he dropped us off at the entrance. We didn’t use headsets which it notes in the brochure. There were only two of us so there was no problem hearing him. We enjoyed all three places
Thank you for your great review! We're so glad to hear that you had an enjoyable tour with Francesco. We appreciate your understanding regarding the tower access, and we're happy that the smaller group size made it easier for you to hear the guide without headsets. It's wonderful that you enjoyed all three places, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Alberto was very informative and showed a lot of passion for his job. We learned a lot from him. I just wish the tour of the Cathedral would have been more extensive.
Thank you for your review! Alberto will be delighted to know his passion for history left an impression on you. We’ll take your feedback about the Cathedral tour into account as we continue to improve. We hope to see you again soon!
Guided visit to the 3 most iconic monuments of the beautiful city of Seville, with the accompaniment of Guia Carmen, who surprised us for their sympathy and professionalism, so it makes sense to visit monuments with someone who dominates their knowledge of history, thank you for everything Carmen and I will recommend you! See you soon! Carla Marques and Gilberto Neto - Figueira da Foz - Portugal
Muito obrigado, Gilberto e Carla! Foi um prazer atender vocês, e estamos felizes por saber que tiveram uma experiência excelente com a nossa equipe e a Carmen. Ficaremos muito gratos se puderem compartilhar uma avaliação sobre a experiência! Um abraço caloroso e esperamos vê-los novamente em suas próximas aventuras.❤
I’m afraid this was poor. The guide was 15 minutes late, had audio equipment that didn’t work for the entire tour (Alcázar and cathedral), and even had the audacity to tell the group off for being 5 minutes late. She also failed to control an overly dominant group of Americans who tried to hijack the tour with their own questions and had even tried to bring a butterfly knife into the alcazar (not the guide’s fault but again poorly managed). Compared to the Cordoba tour this was very poor sorry.
Dear customer, We are very sorry that your experience was not as you expected. Nothing we would have liked more than to provide an excellent service like the one we are used to. You are right: a good tour is given from the location to be visited and the professionalism of the guide. Unfortunately the guide is new in our company and we assure you that we have taken appropriate measures as this kind of situation will not be repeated. Thank you very much for getting our attention on this. Reviews like yours help us maintain our high standard. We reiterate our apologies. Best regards.
Alcázar and the cathedral are definitely worth a visit. In the future, I would book the tours separately because they want to show as much as possible in a short time. I would have liked to walk through the Alcázar longer so that I could also visit the garden. In addition, it was sometimes difficult to follow the guide, he talks very fast.
Driss we had a wonderful time Travel can be tiring and sometimes boring and not live up to expectations. But people like you and Miguel make that transformation a charm. A smile is better than a report and a suitable word a whole speech. So with your talk and Miguel's smile it was heavenly Thanks for everything Although I had already seen Granada, I enjoyed it again keep it up please There will already be a return in Andalusia and we will call you
Estimado Jose, ¡Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutó de su viaje a Granada! Es cierto que los viajes pueden ser agotadores y a veces no cumplen con nuestras expectativas, pero tener un guía amable y una sonrisa puede marcar la diferencia. Nos encanta que haya vuelto a disfrutar de Granada. ¡Esperamos verle en Andalucía de nuevo!
Well organised very informative tour of the Cathedral Alcazar and Giralda! Our tour guide Mercedes was exceptional. She had great knowledge and a lovely manner with the group making it fun and interesting. She was also very good at keeping us safe and together which was no mean feat when in the busy areas! Highly recommend this tour .
Had a great time with Miguel who led us through the Alcazar and Cathedral, past everyone else from our ship and right to the relevant areas- he really knows his way around and we were able to get maximum impact for the time we had from the ship. Loved every minute and will do it again when next in Seville.
We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour
