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…

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!

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!

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

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

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!

Alba is a wonderful guide and took us places we would never have found on our own and gave us context for understanding the history of Seville. While she’d be a great guide for anyone, she was perfect for us as she has a deep understanding of the Jewish history of Sevilla and was able to bring it to life. Spending time with her was like being with a knowledgeable friend! Wonderful Tour

This tour of Seville with Alba definitely enriched our time in this fantastic city. Alba was so friendly, knowledgeable, funny and knew interesting "off the tourist track" places to take us. We were all interested in the history & culture & Alba was passionate about both.
Alba's english was fantastic & she was easy to understand. Other guides we have had, had such strong accents that they were difficult to follow.
Would highly recommend Alba for a great Seville experience.Sensational Introduction to Seville w Alba

Best of 4 tour guides. Alba has lived for 22 years in Sevilla and is a walking encyclopedia, as well as a warm, charming host. She is generous with her time, detailed, bringing history to life through the power of story. Lastly, her English is completely proficient. We highly recommend her as a guide even though the rate may be higher than others.Exceptional

We had the pleasure of touring the Alcazar and the Cathedral in Seville with Alba on November 2. We found that her knowledge of the history, culture and geography of Seville was extensive and she enthusiastically guided us through this tour. She came well prepared with visual aids which enhanced her guided tour presentation at each site. Alba was personable, considerate and free with her time and knowledge. Had we more time to spend in Seville we definitely would have booked additional tours with her. We highly recommend her as guide in Seville. Wonderful tour of Alcazar and Cathedral

We had a private tour (for our group of 8) with Alba to introduce use to Seville on our first morning. Alba is full of enthusiasm and knowledge. In 2 hours we could only cover a small part of the town but Alba walked us past the main sites and told us of others. All our group highly recommend Alba A great way to start a visit to Seville

The Alcazar, cathedral and surrounding neighbourhood are a treasure trove of history. Alba truly brought this history to life with her knowledge, insights and infectious enthusiasm. From the tales from the architecture of the Alcazar, to the secrets of the gardens and the artists from the area, I would have missed so much without Alba. History brought to life

We got in to Seville late, Alba was very flexible. She was a treasure trove of information, very bubbly, full of joy and customized the tour to suit our interests. I would definitely recommend tours with Alba, especially if you are from the Americas. She is of Venezuelan heritage and understands what we would be interested in. She even took us to a great place for lunch and tapas.:-)Amazing experience

Alba is a passionate historian whose engaging stories captivated us throughout our Alcazar tour - we would have missed so many details and not known what we were looking at if it wasn't for her.
We were always engaged and entertained, and felt like we were one of her friends that she was showing around Seville. She was happy to customize the tour to include specific sights we wanted to see, and was extremely communicative.
I would absolutely recommend her for anyone touring Seville.Incredible tour of the Alcazar!

We had an amazing tour with Alba! She was very informative but still made it lots of fun. She gave us great recommendations for shopping, restaurants, and areas to visit. She went above and beyond our 2 hour tour with an extra 30 minutes which we were incredibly grateful for. If we had more time in Seville we would have booked her for another tour! Five star tour!!
