Had a tour of Sevilla cathedral and surrounds with Laura. It was great. Well worth it to hear about this amazing place from a historian. We got many insights and saw hidden gems that we otherwise would not have seen. Laura is passionate about history and this shows in her tours. Cathedral tour with Laura

We had two separate tours led by Laura. Both were lovely experiences. Laura has great knowledge and passion about Seville and its deep and diverse history. She is a great story teller who makes the complex history of Seville and the region fun and easy to understand. We highly recommend Laura for all tours including those with just adults or adults and children. Laura’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge appeal to people of all ages.

Cecilia guided us over two days, once to the Cathedral and once to the Alcazar. We bypassed the long lines because we had a guide and she provided lots of helpful information and answers to our questions. It was definitely better to experience these parts of Seville with her as a guide.Helpful, friendly knowledgeable guide

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!

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 had excellent communication with juan before we met to tour Seville. He recommended a wonderful flamenco evening- very atmospheric and intimate- just what we wanted, also a cute little Tapas restaurant situated just round the corner. Juan was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of the old town of Seville , including all the highlights and history. We had time to stop for coffee at a lovely cafe recommended by him. All in all a great time spent with Juan and we left feeling we knew a lot more about Seville. Highly recommend .. A wonderful tour with Juan

Cecilia was our guide for the 10 tastings of Seville tour. We could tell right away that we were in good hands, her friendliness and engaging personality made us comfortable and conversation easy. Cecilia was not only interested in telling us about the Triana neighborhood we were in but also wanted to hear about where we were from. The tour started with some history about Triana and Seville. Then we walked through the Triana market where a variety of fish, meats, vegetables and fruits are sold. From there we made our first stop where we tasted several dishes, potatoes with mayonnaise, aubergine with molasses and lentils with chickpeas. Next was an assortment of hams, sausage, and cheeses. From there we tried a pork sandwich and some squid. Last on the tour was dessert from a pastry shop. All of the places were small local merchants who were happy to host us. We would strongly recommend Cecilia for any tour because ours was wonderful.Triana tastings

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

We enjoyed the food tour of La Triana area of Seville almost feeling like a local settling into tavernas and tapas bars while Cecilia made excellent food and drink recommendations. I would highly recommend this easy going, very informative, fun and delicious trip. Cecilia made us feel right at home!Top class food tour in La Triana

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!

My wife and I did an orientation tour on our first morning in Seville with Alba. We have done many Withlocals tours over the years and this was without a doubt one of the best. Alba is lovely, very friendly and so incredibly knowledgeable. Her knowledge of the history of Seville and the little hidden gems she showed us even in our hour and a half with her were really interesting and a highlight of our trip here. She was also very helpful with hints and tips on where to get tickets for the Alkazar and the cathedral.

Cecilia gave us the kind of tour you hope for but almost never get. It was just me, my wife, and her — no crowds, no umbrellas to follow, just real conversation, some amazing food, and a walk through Seville with someone who actually lives it.
We booked the tour during Feria, and instead of sprinting through monuments, we went for a more laid-back vibe: eat some good food, see the city, and get to know our guide a little. Cecilia nailed it. She's passionate, full of stories, thoughtful, and funny — the kind of person who drops knowledge mid-conversation without making it feel like a lecture. Also, she was genuinely surprised to learn we’re grandparents, which we’ll be riding high on for a while.
Toward the end of the tour, we happened to walk through a quiet street just as the Feria fireworks finale kicked off. Cecilia led us to the bridge where everyone gathers to watch — an incredible, unexpected moment. Not saying she planned it… but she’s a musician, so we’re guessing her timing was no accident.
Bottom line: book her. Unless you’re deeply opposed to great company and cool experiences.Great evening!
