With her sense of humor, heart, and intelligence, Laura is a likeable and competent young woman. She gave us a varied and entertaining tour of the Royal Palace (Alcazar) in Seville. She carefully measured her extensive historical knowledge and peppered it with plenty of humor. We highly recommend Laura's personalized tours and give them top marks. Many thanks, Laura, Roberto, and family from Switzerland.Humor, heart & intelligence

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

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

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

Our tour with Cecilia around Triana, Seville was fabulous. Cecilia is a wealth of information on local history, architecture, arts, politics and culinary traditions. 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!

Cecilia is an excellent guide. She was very sensitive to our preferences and designed a tour that felt like it was just for us. Cecilia has a welcoming and calm personality, made an effort to get to know us personally, and was adept in answering all of our questions. She also knows her Spanish and Seville history. And, her English is impeccable. We shared stories about music, family, food, shopping, and travel. All in all we don’t believe we could have found a better fit. We’ll remember this 3 hour tour for many years. Muchas gracias Cecilia👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Old Seville Our Way

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. We 100% recommend booking a tour with Alba.Fascinating Tour, Highly Recommended

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!

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.

We had a great time with Elena on the Drinks & Bites tour in Seville. Ordering tapas from a non-touristy bar is a huge challenge if you don't know Spanish - or the bartenders. Elena took us to fantastic hidden gems that we would have never found (or navigated) without her. She's extremely passionate about Seville, and loves to show off her city. Tapas and Vermut!

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.
