5.00In the summer this was the best tour to book because it was still cool enough to walk around the gardens at the end. Our tour guide Anita was knowledgeable, interesting and informative. She answered questions in addition to imparting her knowledge of the Real Alcazar. The place is in remarkable condition and very beautiful. We really enjoyed our morning.
Get up early, you WONT be sorry!

5.00You MUST tour this place if you come to Seville. But…It is amazing what a difference it makes to tour this place before it opens, in the morning when it’s cooler, calm, and quiet. It was so special! Our guide, Clara J, was a perfect storyteller, and it’s obvious she takes pride in her work. She made a great effort to engage personally with everyone and was both our daughters’ favorite tour guide in our 2 weeks of travel. This place is stunning, and we are all obsessed with the peacocks in the gardens!! Highly recommended experience… getting there earlier is ABSOLUTELY the right way to do it, and we are so glad we chose this!

5.00From start to finish Lola provided in-depth details regarding Alcazar’s history. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive to the groups questions. Recommend this experience to beat the crowds, take beautiful crowd-less pictures, and learn about the history of Alcazar.
Excellent early morning tour

5.00Barbara our tour guide was amazing! We were able to enter Alcazar prior to the admission time in a VIP small group. She provided a wealth of information about the history of Seville. The gardens are absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this tour.
