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 husband and I enjoyed our tour with Laura. She was very high energy and very knowledgeable regarding Spain and Seville's history. She is interactive and loves immersing her guests into the essence that is Seville. I would highly recommend her.

We had two separate tours led by Laura. Both were lovely experiences. Laura has great knowledge and passion about Seville and its deep and diverse history. She is a great story teller who makes the complex history of Seville and the region fun and easy to understand. We highly recommend Laura for all tours including those with just adults or adults and children. Laura’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge appeal to people of all ages.

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!

Elena was an excellent guide, with a really deep knowledge of Seville culture, food and traditions. She is also very relaxed and fun which made the day fly by. The food was, of course, excellent and she took us to small family run tapas establishments for some really different dishes. We ate too much, laughed a lot and learned loads. Can't recommend it enough.Relaxed and fun with fantastic food

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

Elena was an AMAZING guide for our food tour of Seville. She was very knowledgeable, super friendly, fun and eager to accommodate our specific requests. She also taught us many things about the local culture and the culture of Spain in general. It was my sister’s birthday so Elena surprised her with a special dessert complete with a candle and sang Happy Birthday in Spanish. In addition to her English being is perfect she was the PERFECT GUIDE! I highly recommend Elena!!!Elena the Spanish Foodie Extraordinaire

Laura met us at our Hotel which made the start of our tour very easy as we didn’t have to locate a meeting point. From there Laura took us on a 3 hour walking tour through the city showing us historical sites and various other interesting places on the route. She took us through some quieter parts of the city which visitors don’t always see. If you like history then Laura is definitely a guide we would recommend. It’s very clear that she loves her home city.Fantastic private walking tour with Laura

We had been in Seville for four days when we met up with Laura, so we had done a fair bit of walking in the old city, and also along the river in Triana. But Laura took us mostly to the northern, less touristy part of the old city, and we rambled from one beautiful Mudejar church to another, and talked about life in Seville, past and present. What it's like for Sevillanos, with growing tourism; the future fate of the historic old houses which are so expensive to restore; religious life, the involvement of young people in local fraternities and processions. It's so good to have a chance to talk to a local! And ask Laura about her PhD thesis on women in medieval life in Seville.... You'll have a really enjoyable experience.Extending our range in Seville

We have taken several food tours in our travels but Elana's was by far the best. She took us to two different family-owned restaurants. The way she was greeted was like she was a member of the family. The service the staff provided us was second to none and they treated us like family. To say the food was excellent was an understatement. The variety of tasting, treats and drinks exceeded anything we have ever had in any previous food tours. We wholeheartedly recommend Elan for a food tour in Seville!Exceeded Expectations
