We had a good guide. Her name was Lara. She took her time to go through all the details and answered questions.
More a general history than a Jewish history

The tour was more about the general history of area rather than about the Jewish history of Santa,Cruz area. There were a few references to the Jewish history but I was expecting more
Good but could be a little better

Anna was very nice and knowledgeable about the Jewish quarter. The only thing we would change is maybe some other facts about buildings along the way. Another tour group joined us in the same spots inside the quarter but we could hear that guide enthusiastically talking about other things as he walked.

Carolina was an excellent guide - friendly, steeped in history and warm. Sadly, Jewish history isn't very extant now in the old quarter, but Carolina's explanations illuminated aspects for us.

Valentin was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the history of Spain. We can tell how much he loves what he does as a historian and gave so much context to our walking tour around the Jewish quarter. He is so proud to be a Sevillano and we appreciate how he tells his story and narrate history. We were welcomed in Seville with so much warmth and enthusiasm by our guide.
Ana had so much knowledge!

We loved this tour! It's easy to walk through the Santa Cruz neighbourhood and miss all the history and the small details. It was great to take our time and learn a lot more about the Jewish community and the history in Seville. Our guide was very informative and did a great job telling stories and answering our questions.
Valentin, amazing guide!
