We did History of Women of Seville tour with Alba and loved it! Alba is very knowledgeable and passionate. She showed us the city and history of its women from the angle we would have never seen on our own. We will definitely be booking other tours with her in the future. Highly recommend! Amazing experience!

We had a wonderful time with Alba learning all about the marvellous women that helped shape the history of Seville. Alba was very knowledgeable and really brought the stories of these women to life in an engaging and often amusing way. She was also very accommodating regarding mobility issues, always finding places for us to sit in the shade out of the unforgiving sun! A really different and fascinating way to learn about the history and culture of Seville and Spain in general - highly recommended! Women's history in Seville

We spent approx 3H with Alba and as we walked to sites we would not have found ourselves we learned a lot about the women in the history of Seville, as well as the city itself. Perfect English, deep knowledge, and a kind and inspiring person to spend a few hours with. Very casual and intimate. I was inspired to learn more about the stories behind the stories of this beautiful city. Thank you.Wonderful walk with a wonderful woman.

We were in for a treat with this story teller, the anecdotes about the role of women in Spanish history were so vivid and the transitions from stories to places flowless. Carmen, Isabel, Susana and many more came to life to help us understand what Spain is today. My 12 years old still talks about the legend of the two sisters, the lions and the tower…

Alba’s tour of Seville through the lives of some of her famous women was amazing! She told the stories with such passion and enthusiasm and wowed my 14 year old daughter. We both loved it and would definitely book again. What a fantastic 2 hours. Thank you Alba. Teenage and mum

Wow! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Alba. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable about all things Sevilla and Spanish history, she is a delightful person to spend time with. We were wishing the tour was twice a long as it was. We'd love to spend more time with Alba and will definitely look for her on our next visit to Sevilla. If you only book one walking tour in Sevilla - make it this one. Amazing! A wonderful time with Alba!

Alba was super flexible with the schedule, tour, and location. I had two teens with me in very hot weather and she managed to make the tour so enjoyable we (almost) forgot about the sweltering sun. This was our favorite tour in Seville and learned a lot while seeing new parts of a beautiful city. Very highly recommend this tour and Alba specifically. Best tour in Seville!

Deborah🇺🇸 United States

Alba's tour about the women of Sevilla is really marvelous. It's clear that she has spent time doing some research about her subjects, and she's a great storyteller who really makes them come alive. We enjoyed our time with her immensely. Women of Sevilla tour with Alba is totally worthwhile!

My 18 year old daughter and I took Alba's Spanish women in history tour and loved it! We often do a walking or bike tour when we first arrive in a city so that we can learn the history and get a better lay out of the city. It was so much fun to take Alba's tour and learn all sorts of new information and fun facts. We walked through a large section of old Seville (thereby seeing important places) and Alba regaled us with wonderful stories of historical Spanish women. She spoke of a conniving royalty, a generous donor, a brave woman who saved her town, the woman who fought for the right to vote...and a few more! Alba was a warm and personable young woman who gave a great, organized and interesting tour! There was plenty of time to take pictures and ask questions. Highly recommend!Must do tour!

Tijdens een bezoek aan Sevilla de tour met Alba geboekt, hidden history of woman in Sevilla! Wat was dit gaaf! Uit de drukte van de stad, vele inspirerende verhalen gehoord waardoor de gebouwen, standbeelden en afbeeldingen in muren tot leven komen. Alba weet zoveel over de geschiedenis en kon dit met zoveel flair en enthousiasme vertellen! Aan iedereen die een bezoek brengt aan deze stad: boek deze tour met Alba! @Alba; thank you so much for this experience and wonderfull tour! Would love to meet you again when vissiting Sevilla😊 Voor degene die net wat meer willen lezen over deze stad en tour: www.maranopreis.nl Een verborgen parel!

Alba is a fountain of knowledge about Spanish history and she imparts it with ease. Her focus on the women in Spanish history is novel and revealing and resonates with modern society. I highly recommend Alba as a guide. Novel and neat

Alba gavé us our best tour ever. Few gripping stories about women throughout Sevilla history since Roman empire until 19th century via thé original history inspiring Carmen Opera. We walked in places in relation with stories that led us to most famous places in Sevilla (Alcasar, Plaza de España, Jewish quartier.. .). Finally we learned about the entire history of Sevilla, and the most historical places with this original tour. Further Alba has been very pleasant, answering honestly and accuratly to all our questions. That was perfect !Best tour ever

The best guide ever to immerse yourself into Sevillian history! I teach a group of American university students about Gender Roles in present day Spain, so I decided to hire Alba for a walking tour based on notable women that have played a really important role in both Seville and Spain and succeeded in different fields. Pretty useful. All the students had the chance to take part into Spanish history and find out amazing stories. Alba has excellent verbal communication skills and an advanced knowledge and understanding, showing a great passion while telling every single story, catching your attention easily, with lots of fun facts. She is so friendly and make you feel like at home. Both me and my students would highly recommend her if you want a great insight into Seville and its history. It was a pretty enriching experience for the whole group, even myself, as a professor, who learned a lot of thingsVery insightful Tour

Alba was a very good tour guide and accomodated making some changes to our schedule do to the extreme heat. She was very knowlegeable and friendly and gave us a great inside tip on a place to see the city from a rooftop that is free to the public. Great tour with Alba!

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

Alba was hugely knowledgeable about all the places that we visited and more generally about Seville's historical and political past. She gave us an insight into lots of different places that we built on in our following days in the city. A super experience and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.A fantastic experience

Lorraine🇺🇸 United States

We had a wonderful experience with Alba as our guide. She took us to the hidden gems and explained the history of how Spain became the Spain of today. Her information was interesting and easy to follow and she allowed us time for questions and insights as to what she was showing us. We were historically enriched and thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Alba. We highly recommend her.Understanding Spain

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

We did a tour with Alba of the Cathedral and Alcazar and she was absolutely fantastic. One of the best tour guides we had in Spain. We were 2 families including 6 kids between 14-20 years of age and she kept them all engaged and interested. She has a great knowledge of Spanish history and made the tours both interesting and fun.

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.

We had a fabulous afternoon tour with Alba, she had planned a specific route to capture all the sights that we had asked to see. Alba was very friendly, made it very interesting for the children and bounced between English / Spanish so the girls could have Spanish practice before they return home and face their exams!! Thank you Alba!!Excellent Tour

Alba is the most knowledgeable of guides and made our tour so interesting and educational. She was such fun to be with and brought the history of Seville to life.

So lucky to have met Alba! Her knowledge of Seville is amazing!! 3 hours flew by in a flash. The unexpected horse carriage ride was a surprise bonus since it was something we wanted to do but didn't think we could fit it into our schedule. Thank you for the memories, Alba!!!Awesome afternoon with Alba

Excellent historical walking tour. Alba took us through the Jewish Quarter and to places thAt the general public know little about. She is so knowledgeable and generous with her time. You will finish wanting more!A gem of a guide

Alison

Alba was the very best! After travel delays and arriving in Seville much later in the day than expected and weary from the trip, Alba’s energy was exactly what we needed! She was engaging and knowledgeable and so wonderfully personable! We were immediately at ease with each other and my daughter who was shy with speaking Spanish ended up having animated conversation with Alba during our tour. As she showed us the sights, she drew us in by asking questions that would lead to interesting facts about the sights. The tour with Alba was the perfect way for us to get our bearings so we could explore the next day with more confidence! Choose Alba for your tour - you will be so happy you did!!The perfect start with Alba!

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

This was our second Christmas visit to the wonderful city of Sevilla, and we were keen to connect once more with Alba. She took us on a tour of the city 5 years ago and was so engaging, entertaining and informed, we wanted to repeat the experience. This time, her targeted tour of the beautiful Alcazar was amazing, educational and great fun. We loved it!Yet again, Alba exceeds expectation!

Alba was an absolute delight as our guide for our first day in Sevilla. She spent several hours with us walking around the city, educating us on the history of the city and its people, and entertaining us with fun stories. She was also super kind to help us figure some key sites to visit in our own after the tour based on our personal interests. She set us up with some tickets to a great show and links to many more. I couldn’t be any happier with our experience. Thank you, Alba! The BEST
