Alba was a fantastic guide. So much knowledge and the perfect balance of history, local tips, hidden secrets all with her lovely friendly manner. Without her tour we would have walked around admiring the beauty without knowing what we were looking at. Thank you Alba!Best way to start a visit to Seville!

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

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!

Laura was an excellent guide to our family of 6 (4 kids age between 18 and 24) for a full morning of visit of the Alcazar and the Cathedral - engaging, flexible, very knowledgeable, and keen to share her passion for the history of Sevilla, without being boring for one single moment. In short, a great experience which we would recommend for first-time or experienced visitors keen to discover Sevilla's treasures.Great experience visiting Sevilla's gems

Alvero is a true professional and was helpful from the start. Before leaving for our trip he was easy to communicate with and designed a tour especially for our group. Once in Sevilla he also took responsibility for securing our tickets and handling some of the enhanced security protocols in place. This made our visit stress free. During the tour we had ample
Time for questions and Alvero kept us in the shade during a hot July day. He shared interesting anecdotes and historical gems that weren’t part of our pre-trip reading. He even managed to keep our teenager interested and engaged! Once at the cathedral he handled a minor issue without our needing to intervene and gave us a detailed tour that included references to religious, historical and political figures. Having him with us for show and tell kept us interested even though we were tired from travel. We would highly recommend booking Alvero. I know we will next time we’re back. Top Rates Tour Guide

We had the best tour ever today with Alvaro. He is the most enthusiastic tour guide we have been with and has an incredible amount of knowledge regarding the history of Seville - we learnt so much. We also loved that Alvaro showed us all these hidden and quiet courtyards which were a great place to rest and cool down whilst being the middle of the city. He gave us some amazing recommendations for Flamenco, tapas and coffee. Highly recommended!!! Thank you again for the best day.Outstanding Alvaro!

Elena is energetic and good natured. She showed me areas of Seville from a different perspective. Then I had the food and lots of it. She brought me to several locally owned restaurants where I sampled local foods, including 6 different types of cheeses, several variations of pork dishes, squid, mushrooms, and a unique dessert, all paired with wines and a special, spiced Vermouth with the desert.Pleasent Evening in Seville

She was very easy to communicate with prior to our visit and provided an engaging walk through the beautiful Real Alcazar. She catered the history and details to the family and got the kids involved in the tour. They loved it as much as we did. We thoroughly enjoyed Laura and the Real Alcazar. Highly recommend!

It has been a year since we took a tour with Elena and I have finally gotten around to writing a review. In the year since our visit to Sevilla, the tour we took and the things Elena shared with us about the city she clearly loves, have stayed with us. That is how memorable Elena was. She was able to help us see her city with such affection, clarity, and understanding that we can't wait to go back. We cannot recommend highly enough...Delightful

This experience of the amazing city of Seville was top notch. With Elena, we not only discovered the food culture of Spanish city, but we also learnt so much history of the area. This tour taught us about Seville’s ancient roots, all of the different people who have created the melting-pot of cultures, and even the very origins of the tapa. I immensely recommend this tour to anyone reading.Wonderful Cultural Experience

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

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!

We were so intrigued with Alba's stories and anecdotes that the time flew by. She brought us to every area of the Alcazar and walked the gardens with us. We not only heard the history, but the legends of the times as well. We felt as if we were walking through time as Alba brought history to life for us. On the tour was my 21 year old daughter and 83 year old father and we all enjoyed the day immensely. We cannot recommend Alba enough!History Comes to Life with Alba

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

We had toured the “big sites” as part of a larger group tour. We had a free afternoon and asked Laura to arrange a walk that would show us more of Sevilla. From the Plaza de España to the Triana neighborhood and many places in between, she did just that! 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!
