Our family of 5, including three children ages 12 & 9, had a wonderful visit to the Real Alcazar with Laura. 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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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!
