We are going to know the history of the Reales Alcázares of Seville in depth. This monument holds many stories and details that would be very difficult to know without a local guide. We suggest that you come and explore history from the Almohads to the current Kings and be surprised by the oldest active Royal Palace in Europe. When we finish the tour you can stay and relax in its incredible gardens.

Then we will visit the Cathedral of Seville, built in the 15th century on a 12th century mosque, it is one of the largest and most impressive churches in the world. On this 1.5-hour guided tour, you'll admire its spectacular golden altarpiece and vast art collection.

The most important piece of the Seville cathedral complex is the famous Giralda bell tower. The tower, which reaches a height of 98 meters, was built as a minaret at the end of the 12th century. Discover the complex's origins as an Arab mosque and see further evidence of this in the Court of Ablutions.

Waste of money

The meeting point was not specific and did not know who to look for, as in other viator experiences. Further, the audio was inconsistently working and the cathedral guide had very broken English- the tour was rushed! The next part, the Alcázar, started 40 minutes late due to Viator mix ups with tourists. The tour guide was much better than the cathedral guide. Would have been better off paying our own admission and getting the audio! A waste of time and money - very disappointing .

Long day, but beautiful country and the 3 cities were all different. It was a great overview of different regions of Spain. Amazing architecture and history. Sergio, Alejandro were wonderful! Thank you for taking care of us!

If you are going to Sevilla, you have to do this experience. Our guides were both very professional and provided a wealth of information that we would not have otherwise known about and made sense of these historically complicated sites in a very accessible way. They were both pleasant and fun as well. Great experience.
It was as expected, this...

It was as expected, this was a return visit for us. Our daughter and grand kids loved it. I was glad we did it.

My remark for tour is very bad! First of all, nobody told us that the tour will take more than 3 hours ... much more?! We spent 1,5 hours in the Cathedral and we waited for the Alcazar tour for almost 3 hours, from 12:30 till 15:05! And second guide was 20 minutes late. The first guide told us at 12:30 to wait on the same meeting point for the next tour at 14:45, but second guide appeared after 15 and just told us that we have tickets for 15:15. Nobody told us that the meeting time changed and nobody even replied to the message we sent to the operator, which you mention?! And one more thing, when we finished the Cathedral tour, guide told us that we can go to climb to Giralda. We went to the toilet and when we came back, we tried to enter to Giralda but they told us that we have to have tickets. Guide didn’t explaine us well, that we have to enter with her because only she has all our tickets! So we could’t enter because of bad explanation and her departure. Practically we lost the whole day because of this tour and had to cancel all other plans! Total disaster.
Sevilla is a must-see!

Sevilla is a beautiful place. The blend of cultures evident in its art and architecture make for a must-see. To understand its history, which is fascinating, book this tour. Our guide and docent, Cristina, was excellent. Not only was she an excellent story-teller, she provided well informed historical and artistic facts. I highly recommend this tour! (Tour in Spanish)
Fab day exploring and learning about these historical masterpieces

We booked to go to the Cathedral and the Alcazar, it was 3 hours of tur, we started at 12:30 and at 1:20 we had already done Cathedral and Giralda. We're looking for the guide, she didn't go up, all over the place and at the start point too. We went to the spree but couldn't get in without the guidance. We wrote to find out what was going on and they got back to us at 2:45. They told us we were still at 3pm, of course they forgot about us. We had already gone to our hotel and were away. We are very disappointed because it was an experience we could not have.
It was very good time....

It was very good time. Tour guide has perfect English and tour was excellent. Suggestion: we had 3 tours together starting at 11am but after one hour she finished her tour and we had waited another two hours to continue our tour with another tour guide
