Seville Cathedral, built in the 15th century on the site of a 12th century mosque, is one of the largest and most impressive churches in the world. On this 1 and a half hour guided tour, you will admire its spectacular golden altarpiece and the vast collection of art.
The most important piece of the complex of the cathedral of Seville is the famous bell tower of the Giralda. The tower, which reaches a height of 98 meters, was built as a minaret at the end of the 12th century. Discover the origins of the complex as an Arab mosque and see more evidences of this in the Ablution Courtyard.
Explore the collection of important works of art representing several centuries and decorate the 44 chapels of the Cathedral and the central part of the nave.
At the end of the tour, say goodbye to the guide and climb to the top of the Giralda to soak up the magnificent views of the city.

5.00The guide was Carlos. A 10. To repeat, it is difficult to find such a good guide. A quiet, pleasant visit, with lots of information, pleasant

3.00The guide did not speak much about the cathedral. Instead she mostly told stories. She only briefly spoke about Murillo and didn’t discuss any individual works of art. She spoke very little about the cathedral’s architecture.
Great tour, highly recommend

5.00Tour of cathedral was wonderful. Rosa was an amazing and informative guide. This activity was perfect for a solo traveler. I did the trip up the Giralda afterward (included in tour price but unaccompanied by guide) and it was “meh”. Super crowded and views blocked by caging.
Disappointing visit

1.00The cathedral is spectacular, but the visit left much to be desired. First of all, you have to be 15 minutes early in the square and I didn't put it on the reservation. We arrived on time, but the group had already gone towards the cathedral. Thanks to instructions from another guide, we managed to get in and find the group. Mary, our guide, told us that she had only two audio guides left (there were 3) because she gave one to another guide. So one of us had to stick to her the whole visit to find out what she was saying, but she didn’t make fun of herself for trying to make it easier for that person to listen. It was a very expensive visit for the treatment we had and for the information that was provided. We usually make cultural visits wherever we go and, probably, this has been one of the least interesting, despite the fact that the cathedral is one of the most impressive monuments we have ever been.
Very poor experience

1.00Bad experience. Very difficult to find the tour guide. Then there were countless complications getting the earphones to work, followed by a long line even though we had been promised priority access. As a result, we had to rush through the tour to stay on schedule. And all that for a prohibitive price.

2.00The actual tour was excellent and the guide was good but when it came to going up the giraldo tower we were denied entrance despite showing all our booking information and codes. After leaving the cathedral we phoned and texted your support people and were told to find the rep with the red flag who was in the square. There was no rep to be found in the square and were told to kept looking and they would try to contact her. We eventually found her but she was most unhelpful and told us we should have stayed with yhe tour guide and there was nothing she could do. So after travelling 600 kilometres and paying 79 euros we didn’t get to do what had been the main purpose of the trip - to go up the giralda tower.
Be careful worst experience ever

1.00Very disappointing experience. I had seen some bad reviews before but still decided to give this tour a try. Our group of four arrived on time at the meeting point, but no guide ever showed up. We contacted the guide immediately and received no response. We then reached out through Viator and they still refused to refund us. Unprofessional and not recommended.

5.00Definitely recommend the guided tour, Maria's knowledge of Spanish and European history was greatly appreciated as she highlighted artefacts and points of interest which would have gone unnoticed.

5.00Although it was very busy and crowded, our guide was excellent. She navigated us through the crowds and kept up a fascinating flow of information on the history of the church. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
