Skip the lines to see Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, and the Royal Alcázar with a licensed local guide and clear radio audio.
“Our tour was very well organised. Our guide, Maria, was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the tour as Maria gave us a lot of interesting facts in a very accessible way. Without her input we would not be able to appreciate certain parts, artefacts and places that we have seen alongside our tour. The climb to the top of the Giralda tower can be a bit challenging as there are 34 ramps to get to the top. It is definitely worth an effort if you can do it as you can see a panoramic view of Seville. We were very lucky as the weather was beautiful…”

“The three sites included in the tour are amazing. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and iconography of the structures. He presented the information with enthusiasm and humor. Because of the information he wanted to share, he spoke very quickly, so it was a bit difficult to understand him sometimes. Regardless, I learned a great deal and appreciate how thorough he was, given the time constraints. You must have your ID with you for admission (passport or driver’s license with photo). Bags and backpacks are scanned or searched. Wear sturdy shoes.”
