It must have been extraordinary with little secret passages lol but unfortunately I understand very little Spanish... I did not pay attention when buying the tour.
Great tour with a knowledgeable and interesting guide. You do need to stay close to hear everything as some areas are quite noisy and the tour doesn't include headphones.
The guide was great and the tour was okay, it’s just not at all what we expected. The language for the description was misleading, and made it seem like you go into the cathedral was includes, but THIS TOUR DOES *NOT* PROVIDE ENTRANCE INTO THE CATHEDRAL.
The tour was a marvel. María filled us with details, information, and history. We completely loved Seville.
Strolling around Santa Cruz and exploring history, I recommend organizing this tour during the early morning hours, when there are fewer people and the weather is pleasant.
Top-notch guide. Beautiful circuit. Excellent explanations. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The experience was very pleasant! The tour operator José delighted me with his charming narration of Seville and was also very kind. To make the group activity attractive, he included riddles and then recommended many places to eat and rest in the city.
Said it was english tour when booked but was all in Spanish. Some lovely courtyards visited and was able to get information on google
The guide had an enormous amount of detailed knowledge about the history of the monuments. Nice story and beautiful tour of the old town
Don't ever book a Guided Tour of this type walking around old buildings without entering to highlight of the entire holiday is disappointing and waste of time and money
