Romantic, beautiful, and mystical are a few words that come to mind when describing Seville. During our private walking tour of Seville, we will provide an overview of its vast history, starting from the Roman era up to the present day. Your local guide will share an insider's perspective with a historical summary and delve into more details about the most important neighborhoods, such as the Barrio de Santa Cruz, and also the city's most significant monuments like the Cathedral, where we will visit the interior, the Archive of the Indies, and the Royal Alcazar, which we will only see from the outside.

Throughout our guided tour of Seville, you will experience the unparalleled warmth and sense of humor of the locals. Seville's Moorish past will be illustrated as we navigate the winding streets that twist and turn throughout the city, creating an intricate maze of passages holding legends from centuries past and a distinctive architecture unique to the region of Andalusia. Additionally, we will discuss the two main festive events in this city, from Holy Week to the Fair. We'll stroll along the famous Guadalquivir River, admiring the Tower of Gold, where all the expeditions and riches from the New World were literally registered. And this is just the beginning! Our guide will provide excellent guidance and recommendations about bars to visit for tapas during your free time!
