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

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!

Laura was a fun guide. She.s a historian with a specialty in women.s history so she can tell you not only about the tiles, the ceilings, the windows and the floors. She also has studied the documents of the last few centuries so can tell you more about who was doing what. She helped to make the place come alive for us. Definitely hire her if you can. Note: we,ve hired guides through WithLcocals in other cities. None have disappointed us.History and a few escapades

Alba was excellent. Super friendly and easy going. She had a wealth of historical knowledge and was able to communicate in a fun and easy way so both adults and children could understand and enjoy. Giving our kids some fun tasks and things to look for on the way around was also a great idea - sorry they cheated on the maze though! "Thank you so much Alba. The tour was super fun and interesting" - message from my kids. I could not recommend Alba more highly.Cannot recommend highly enough.

We really enjoyed our time together and recommend him. We also took some group tours and wish we had arranged everything with him as a personal guide. The other tours were large and had audio problems and less skilled guides. Samuel has a winning personality. , Great guide in seville

Ayer tuve la oportunidad de disfrutar de un tour privado del Alcázar de Sevilla con Laura como guía. Desde el primer momento, Laura demostró ser una guía excepcional; su amabilidad y preparación son dignas de mención. Ella está muy preparada y, de hecho, sobrequalificada, ya que actualmente está estudiando un Máster en la universidad. Su conocimiento de la historia y cultura de Sevilla es vastísimo, lo cual se nota en cada detalle que comparte. Laura disfruta genuinamente de su trabajo como guía; su entusiasmo y pasión son contagiosos. Con su gran conocimiento y experiencia, puede dar cualquier tour de Sevilla con facilidad, haciendo que cada visita sea no solo informativa sino también muy entretenida. Lo que más me impresionó fue cómo Laura logró motivar incluso a mi hija, quien normalmente no disfruta de los tours. Su enfoque personalizado y su amor por la historia y la arquitectura del Alcázar hicieron que la experiencia fuera increíble para toda la familia. Recomiendo totalmente a Laura como guía privada si estás planeando visitar el Alcázar o cualquier otra parte de Sevilla. ¡Gracias, Laura, por una experiencia tan memorable!Experiencia Insuperable Alcázar de Sevilla

We had a wonderful afternoon with Laura touring the Alcazar and Cathedral. It was easy to see why these places are her favorite in Seville. She shared so much of her knowledge with us including the history of the royal families of Spain throughout the centuries. She also taught us about architecture and which architectural elements are from which century. She was amazing! I would definitely recommend her and would hire her again. Friendly and knowledgeable !

Best of 4 tour guides. Alba has lived for 22 years in Sevilla and is a walking encyclopedia, as well as a warm, charming host. She is generous with her time, detailed, bringing history to life through the power of story. Lastly, her English is completely proficient. We highly recommend her as a guide even though the rate may be higher than others.Exceptional

We had the pleasure of touring the Alcazar and the Cathedral in Seville with Alba on November 2. We found that her knowledge of the history, culture and geography of Seville was extensive and she enthusiastically guided us through this tour. She came well prepared with visual aids which enhanced her guided tour presentation at each site. Alba was personable, considerate and free with her time and knowledge. Had we more time to spend in Seville we definitely would have booked additional tours with her. We highly recommend her as guide in Seville. Wonderful tour of Alcazar and Cathedral

The Alcazar, cathedral and surrounding neighbourhood are a treasure trove of history. Alba truly brought this history to life with her knowledge, insights and infectious enthusiasm.

Alba is a passionate historian whose engaging stories captivated us throughout our Alcazar tour - we would have missed so many details and not known what we were looking at if it wasn't for her. We were always engaged and entertained, and felt like we were one of her friends that she was showing around Seville. She was happy to customize the tour to include specific sights we wanted to see, and was extremely communicative. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone touring Seville.Incredible tour of the Alcazar!

Laura was timely, accommodating, willing to go off script in response to questions that maybe come from left field, she has unflagging energy (even in uncommonly humid Seville weather!), excellent English, and to top it off the Alcazar is like her "second home" which she has revered since childhood and found solitude and solace in, in the days when it was not so filled with tourists. Today she studies the history of the neighbourhoods and people (especially women!) surrounding the Alcazar and cathedral -- the many interconnections between people, religions, histories, spaces and stories. We were so delighted to find a true expert and friendly local guide in Laura! She is also an accomplished teacher and used to entertaining kids - although that was not necessary with us, we are all kids at heart. We are both university professors and our high school son was with us, and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable day with the delightful Laura. Laura you are the best!Laura is wonderful

My family of 4, including twin 8 year old girls, had a private tour of the Alcazar with Alba. She did a great job of keeping my kids interested with a fun treasure hunt. We were all a bit jet lagged, and we appreciated the relaxing pace of our tour. My husband and I enjoyed learning about the Alcazar, and Alba is a wealth of information. We learned and saw so much more than we would have had we visited on our own. We spent time in the beautiful gardens, and Alba guided our girls around to hunt for the peacocks and their feathers. We also found the peacock babies, and my kids were delighted. Then we had some time to rest at the café which was a nice break. We ended at the gift shop and Alba had a special peacock pencil gift for our girls. It was a wonderful tour, and we highly recommend Alba! Amazing Family Tour of the Alcazar

Finally, he gave us the best tips for a great lunch afterwards, skipping the places where tourists go. If we ever return to Sevilla, we will definitely look him up!Great Experience!

Before we contacted Alba we had a scheduled tour planned that last minute was cancelled and that left us with nothing. Eventhough there is no entrance ticket included in the tour, she helped us navigate to get tickets in line at the alcazar ticket office. She was in constant communication with us and helped us every step of the way. When we finally got the tickets we booked this tour and she told us all the facts you want to know about history of the royal home. As a primary teacher I know have a tons of information, I can share with more childeren, all thanks to Alba! A 10/10 experience.Amazing alcazar, amazing Alba

Cecilia made our tour of the Alcazar enjoyable and special for everyone. She was especially wonderful about connecting with our 4 and 9 year old children. This is our first time using with locals and I think we’ll do it again as it’s a way to connect with local guides who not only are trained and educated to provide you with the history of the place, but they are also from the place and can provide recommendations that only a local would know. Cecilia recommended a place for lunch and a flamenco show that were truly authentic and wonderful experiences. The flamenco show is something I would like to definitely like to do again.What a wonderful experience!

Juan Fernando provided us with a fun, wide-ranging walking tour through beautiful Sevilla! He covered a lot of ground with an emphasis on Sevilla's charming tapas/cafe culture and tasty food and drinks. We especially thank him for turning us on to salmorejo (que delicioso -- check it out!)! Whether he was sharing the history of Las Setas or his family's somewhat complicated love of bull-fighting, Juan Fernando was entertaining and helped us get a fuller picture of Sevilla. After our organic walk around Sevilla, Juan Fernando shared the crown jewel of Sevilla, the Alcazar, with us. His tour of the Alcazar provided loads of historical context and architectural details for our understanding enjoyment. After our tour concluded, we stayed behind and enjoyed the extensive and beautiful gardens. Overall, it was a great day in Sevilla! Highly recommended!Juan Fernando Was a Wonderful Guide!
