We did the Triana Market tour with Mabel. It was so fun. She showed us some great shops in the market and then took us to 3 Tapas after. They were all off the beaten path bars that tourist like us probably wouldn't have found. They were are great. It was like going to the bar with a friend with her. Would 10/10 recommend her and will to any of our friends heading to Seville!!!Great guide!! Great tour!

Laura gave us such a fascinating experience. Her knowledge of the Alcazar was more than just historical, it was from her own experience growing up in the area and visiting as a young person. She was also a lot of fun and gave us honest opinions. The secret parts of the buildings and gardens were fantastic.Such a Wonderful Experience

Jose Andres was a wonderful guide. Very attentive to our dietary restrictions and informative. As he walked us through the different neighborhoods he pointed out different local shops and restaurants highlighting what they were best known for. He was funny and kept us and our daughters engaged from the moment we met up with him. Along the way, he even offered assistance to others who were looking for direction or places to eat. He was very generous with his recommendations. We all enjoyed his stories, local shops and foods he introduced us to.. By the end of the tour we all agreed it felt like we had been taken around the city by a friend more than a guide.Great experience

Wow. Just… wow. If you’re heading to Seville and want more than just a walk through the Alcazar—book this tour. Trust me, it’s not your average sightseeing stroll. This was an all-out, immersive experience, led by none other than Laura, a brilliant doctoral candidate in Andalusian history. And let me tell you—Laura is the real deal. From the first minute, she pulled us into the story of Seville with the energy of a blockbuster opening scene. We explored the winding lanes of the historic Jewish Quarter, where the walls whispered centuries of layered culture and resilience. Laura painted the past with such vivid detail, it felt like we had stepped into a different time. Then came the the Alcazar. This place is stunning on its own, sure, but with Laura as your guide? It’s on another level. She unpacked every arch, garden, and tile with insight and emotion. Islamic art, royal intrigue, layers of power and politics—she wove it all together effortlessly, and we hung on every word. It was cinematic. It was epic. And finally— Seville Cathedral—a towering marvel. Laura didn’t just point out facts, she revealed secrets. She explained the symbolism, the stories behind the architecture, and how the cathedral connects to the city’s complex history. And just when we thought the tour had already peaked, she took us to the Archivo General de Indias and the Torre Giralda, slipping in stories about explorers, empires, and hidden chapters of Andalusia. Laura’s storytelling, her passion, her kindness—it all made this tour unforgettable. And the best part? She tailored everything to our pace and questions, making the experience feel deeply personal. This wasn’t just a history tour. This was a full-throttle cultural mission. Seville came alive, and we left feeling inspired, connected, and hungry for more. If you want the real Seville—the heart, the history, the hidden gems—do not miss this tour. Mission accomplished, Laura. Thank you.High-Octane Tour You’ll Never Forget!

This experience was absolutely incredible – the perfect way to begin our trip to Seville! From the moment we met our guide, Jose Andres, we felt like we were being welcomed by an old friend. His passion for the city, deep food knowledge, and warm storytelling made this tour both delicious and meaningful. The food stops were thoughtfully chosen and packed with local flavor – from the fresh scallops and squid tapas to the mouthwatering pork jaw, every bite was a taste of authentic Andalusian culture. And it wasn’t just about the food – we got a mini city tour in between bites! Strolling through Triana and the annual Flamenco festival, past the stunning Seville Cathedral while hearing personal anecdotes brought the city to life in such a unique way. What really stood out was how flexible and personalized the tour felt. Jose adjusted things based on our tastes and pace, and gave us amazing recommendations for the rest of our trip. We left the tour full (literally and figuratively!) and felt so much more connected to Seville. If you’re arriving in Seville and wondering where to begin, start here. It’s more than just a food tour – it’s a warm welcome to the heart and soul of the city. Don’t miss it!A Perfect Introduction to Seville!

We did the Taste of Triana - Market & Tapas Experience with Elena. It was a fantastic experience with the best combination of food, wine and history. Elena had an intimate knowledge of the Triana Markets and so was able to show us around and order us tapas dishes, cheeses, salads and other local delicacies that we would never would have thought of ordering. She also introduced us to local wines and spirits that we had never experienced before. Elena’s personality was bubbly and gregarious - she had a great sense of humour and nothing was too much trouble. The experience with Elena was one of the best highlights of our visit to Seville. The best experience!!

We did the walking tour of the Alcazar and sourrounding with Alba and it was amazing. Alba waited for us with a smile in the placa in fronte of the Alcazar and we went right in (we went at 10.00). From the moment we walked in, we were amazed by the architecture but most of all by the history and anecdotes that Alba told us! She was very knowledgeable, funny and nice and it was a pleasure listening to her. After the Alcazar we went to the Jewish quarter and after some more amazing stories and tips we finished the tour. I can’t recommend Alba enough, book her and you will have the best insights of Sevilla! Best experience in Sevilla

Jose Andres showed us many different facets of Seville. With stops at the Cathedral of Seville and the church of the Macarena, as well as City Hall, the parliament building, the Esplanada de España. At each stop Jose Andres gave us historical information or interesting facts. We visited the newer part of Seville where some of the popular night spots are. He always pointed out the beautiful architecture along the way like the Alfonso XIII hotel, and the Roman and Arabic walls around the city. All in all it was a great way to learn about Sevilla and which locations at which to spend our time.Getting the lay of the land

A delightful experience. Elena superbly guided us through some wonderful iconic sights, & hidden gems. It was terrific to share stories of our respective countries. Elena showed genuine curiosity & interest in our country, as we did hearing & learning from her. Given the heat in Seville, it was a welcome respite to visit the Convent & have lovely home- baked biscuits by the Nuns & have coffee in the nearby bar. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, & Elena’s food tops & venues were spot on. Thanks Elena very much!! Ruth & Peter. Australia.Relaxed, infotmstive & totally engaging!

Elena was fantastic! She took us to several different stops with a variety of flavors and explained the historical and cultural context of each dish and paired it well with drinks appropriate for the taste and the locale. Each place was clearly the favorite of locals as opposed to a tourist spot. Elena not only had deep knowledge of the wine and drink selections but also explained the cultural nuances of our surroundings. She also explained a lot about Flamenco and its origins and histories as well as the Andalusian language living right in front of us! Very much worth the value! She was friendly and flexible as we had to work around another sight we were seeing just before. Thank you so much for everything!Deep knowledge, great flavors

She provided many historical details of interest and quickly became a friend with whom were having a casual conversation We would highly recommend her services to anyone as a guide in Sevilla!Great guide

We did the guided tour of the Alcázar of Seville with Laura. The tour was fantastic and was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation! Laura is a very kind and communicative guide and knows how to share her knowledge very vividly and with a lot of humor. Laura's expertise as a historian is very impressive and always at the cutting edge of science! The Alcázar is a cultural and historical gem. Without the additional knowledge and all the background information, you would miss a lot when visiting! If you are like us interested in the rich history and culture and want to take away more than just a few photos for your social media account, we highly recommend the tour with Laura. You won't regret it :-) The communication and organization in advance were also perfect! Thank you so much Laura!Great experience!
