Full description
Meet your guide in Plaza del Triunfo and head to the first stop, the Alcázar of Seville. After using the priority entrance to enter the palace, begin your guided tour. Hear about how Moorish and Christian styles were mixed together to create a palace that was emblematic of Mudéjar architecture. Discover the Patio de las Doncellas and grand Ambassadors’ Salón, both featured in Game of Thrones. Admire the intricate carved detailing and colorful Islamic-style tiling. Then stroll around the gardens filled with orange trees and peaceful water features.  Next, head to the Cathedral of Seville. On your guided tour, learn about the Cathedral’s important role in the city’s history, and the Islamic, late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque influences in the architecture.  Marvel at the magnificent 18th-century baroque altarpiece, and the elaborate organ. You can also visit the mausoleum where the remains of Christopher Columbus are laid to rest.  Finally, your guide will lead you to the Moorish Giralda Tower. The call to prayer was announced from this tower when Spain was under Muslim rule. Climb the stairs and admire the spectacular views of Seville from the top of the tower.  Choose from either a small-group or private tour to suit the experience you're looking for.

We loved seeing the Alcazar and Cathedral with our guide who was able to tell us one or two local legends about the castle. I would recommend this for travelers who are short on time as the tour was fast-paced. If you are hoping to take your time, sit in the gardens, or take photos, I would recommend buying access without a guide.

We experienced the Cathedral/Giralda and Alcazar tour with Julio. Julio was amazing:. He had incredible knowledge, great communication skills and amazing humor. We learnt, we laughed and we enjoy every moment of the tour. I highly recommend this tour, and if possible, request Julio as your guide!!!

Miguel was just amazing. Since I was with a family with 2 teenage kids so was apprehensive if there's something for them but he made sure we all were involved and never felt rushed to finish the tour or any question we had. He was very knowledgeable and made it a memorable tour.
