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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

Elena provided us with a fantastic food tour experience in Triana. We tried lots of different foods and drinks, and were very full by the end of the tour. Elena also gave a lot of great historical background information on the food and neighborhood. Elena has training in gastronomy/wine, in addition to being born and raised in Seville, making her a fantastic tour guide. The one area for improvement would be around organization. Elena reached out to reschedule our tour the day before, which luckily we were able to accommodate. Additionally, we were not able to visit one of the locations due to it being too busy, but we were able to try the food from this place to go. Fantastic Food Tour Experience in Triana

We loved Elena! She is so warm, professional and deeply knowledgeable about her home town. We had such an amazing time that we booked her again for the following day! Seamlessly integrating information about history, culture, and food, she deeply enriched our visit to Sevilla. We learned and experienced things that we would never have had access to otherwise — for example, a bar steeped in the history of flamenco as a form of artistic resistance that served an exclusive variety of orange wine and a fantastic dish of pork prepared in an Arabian style. Everywhere we went we were warmly welcomed because we were with her. We did not encounter tourists or other guides at any of our food stops. Elena was also very generous with recommendations and answers to our questions beyond the time that we spent with her. Elena was a total pleasure to spend time with and she has my highest recommendation.Elena is phenomenal
