wonderful thankyou Alba, your knowledge and stories transported us to life in the Jewish Quarter,12th and 16th century Seville, We saw the splendor of the cathedral, but thanks to you we learnt brick by brick, how it came to be, how it survived the century's and what secrets it keeps.

We were lucky enough to book two tours with Alba while we were in Seville this month. We toured the Alcazar and surrounding areas one day and then the Santa Cruz and the Setas de Sevilla the following day. Alba was very engaging and we all learnt so much from her. She showed us some local secret spots too. Sevilla is beautiful!Fantastic!

Laura spent four days with our family, doing a different 2-3 hour tour with us each day, and she was both an absolute delight and a knowledgeable and engaging guide for all of the members of our family! Our ten year old twin girls stayed engaged with her the entire time, peppering her with questions and listening raptly. She’s wonderful at keeping children engaged and adults interested. That is not an easy feat. When we had to say goodbye at the end of our four days, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend. You cannot ask for a better, more caring guide!!A delightful four days with Laura!

Impressive! This sums up our time with Alba. From her first words, we already knew how much we would enjoy and learn from our tour. Alba is a wealth of knowledge. It’s impeccable. We were so engaged with her passion and knowledge that we didn’t realize time has gone by. We were very comfortable with her. We asked her to join us for a meal after but unfortunately, she was booked for another tour. We were very fortunate to have picked her. Take our word for it. We highly recommend Alba with whatever tour you take. Impressive!

Always a fan of using a guide to enhance our visits, Juan Fernando certainly lived up to our expectations. Good comms in the run up to the visit, knowledgeable and funny, climbed all the way up the Giralda Tower with us (and thousands of other visitors!!) which is rather above and beyond!! A great tour - thank you Great visit to Seville cathedral

If you are going to visit Seville, book a tour for the Cathedral! And with Juan😉
We booked a tour with Juan for the Cathedral of Seville. The first hour we walked in the area around the Cathedral and he told a lot of the history. he knows so much about the history and also inside the Cathedral he tells you as much as possible!
You can notice that Juan loves his city.
I can write a whole story, but the conclusion is, just book the tour! You won’t regret it.
Highly recommended!

Our family of 3, including our 16 year old son, absolutely loved our tour with Juan Fernando!! He is an expert in the history of the area, showed us all around the Jewish Quarter and then into the Cathedral, which was so incredibly beautiful!! Juan gave us just the right amount of information without being overwhelming, showed us his favorites and quickly picked up on what we would be interested in, and showed us all of that and more!! Each of us felt like we learned so much, but also had a wonderful time!! He gave us so many ideas for things to do with our time after the tour and just took such great care of us!! If you want a detailed tour that is tons of fun, Juan Fernando is the right guide for you!!Juan Fernando is the BEST!!

We wanted to see the Cathedral and other areas of Seville. We prefer a private tour if the price is reasonable. We contacted Maria, told her what we wanted to see and she responded immediately. We met her and began the tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her city. We walked all over and after a while it was like being with a friend. The 3 hours flew by. Highly recommend Maria if you're interested in a personalized tour experienceFantastic tour, fantastic guide

We were a group of various ages and interests and he was able to cater to all of us. Would recommend his tour to all. A go-with-the-flow trip

Laura met us at our Hotel which made the start of our tour very easy as we didn’t have to locate a meeting point. From there Laura took us on a 3 hour walking tour through the city showing us historical sites and various other interesting places on the route. She took us through some quieter parts of the city which visitors don’t always see. If you like history then Laura is definitely a guide we would recommend. It’s very clear that she loves her home city.Fantastic private walking tour with Laura

We had been in Seville for four days when we met up with Laura, so we had done a fair bit of walking in the old city, and also along the river in Triana. But Laura took us mostly to the northern, less touristy part of the old city, and we rambled from one beautiful Mudejar church to another, and talked about life in Seville, past and present. What it's like for Sevillanos, with growing tourism; the future fate of the historic old houses which are so expensive to restore; religious life, the involvement of young people in local fraternities and processions. It's so good to have a chance to talk to a local! And ask Laura about her PhD thesis on women in medieval life in Seville.... You'll have a really enjoyable experience.Extending our range in Seville

We have taken several food tours in our travels but Elana's was by far the best. She took us to two different family-owned restaurants. The way she was greeted was like she was a member of the family. The service the staff provided us was second to none and they treated us like family. To say the food was excellent was an understatement. The variety of tasting, treats and drinks exceeded anything we have ever had in any previous food tours. We wholeheartedly recommend Elan for a food tour in Seville!Exceeded Expectations

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Cecilia and this tour. It was not only a highlight of our trip, but I think a highlight of all of the travel we have ever done. Cecilia is a truly wonderful person and we want her to be part of our family! She is charming, fun, smart, patient, accommodating and an amazing person to know. The tour was fantastic and we ate incredible food (do not eat dinner beforehand because this is a full meal). We had a variety of food restrictions, and somehow she magically made everyone happy. And it wasn't just about food. She gave us a perspective on the culture and history that made us feel completely immersed in the experience. She also recommended and helped us book a fantastic flamenco show in an intimate setting -- perfect for our family. We were so sad when it ended and felt like we could turn around and do it all over again. Thank you so much Cecilia for being truly extraordinary. Oh, I should also mention that Cecilia is a composer and we are so excited to hear her music on Spotify!Best experience ever!

My wife and I met Alvaro in a busy and safe location. He took us through the rich history of the city and shared lots of background about the culture of Sevilla. We hung out at all of the coolest spots with the locals in the community of Triana.
He is also very attentive to dietary restrictions when it comes to ordering the food for you. We don’t eat pork, red meat, or dairy (sounds like a lot when you list it out like that) and we are also “texture eaters”.. he took all of that into consideration and was still able to order delicious tapas for us and enjoy with us! We recommend him for your trip! Alvaro is great!

My wife and I booked a tour of Sevilla’s old Jewish Quarter with Alba. It was a great experience.
Two things stood out for us. First, we are both a bit mobility challenged (we each walk with a cane). Alba accommodated us in terms of pacing and put in a stop for coffee and a bit of rest in the middle of the tour.
Second, Alba really knows her subject, having done significant academic work on the subject. Hers was not a canned tour presentation but rather a thoughtful, insightful trip through events and places that we had not known a lot about.
This tour was certainly a highlight of our visit to Sevilla.Great Tour - Great Guide
