Seville: Cathedral, Giralda & Alcazar Entry With Guided Tour

2.Seville: Cathedral, Giralda & Alcazar Entry With Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 8,560 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $65

Spend 2.5 hours with a live guide at Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, and the Alcazar. You will see the Patio de Doncellas, learn how Christian, Islamic, and royal power shaped Seville, and use separate entrances at both major sights. Guides such as Joseph, Maria, and Jose Miguel are praised for clear stories and humor.

“Today’s tour with Joseph was so, so cool. He has an amazing and really funny sense of humor, which made the whole experience even better. Time absolutely flew by he shared so much information and showed us so many interesting things along the way. Just one small note: as a huge Game of Thrones fan, and knowing that there were quite a few filming locations connected to the show, I would have loved to hear a bit more about Game of Thrones or maybe see some pictures and really imagine specific scenes from the series. That would have made an already great tour even more special😊”

“This is the best way to do see both cities. It is not worth it to do it ok your own. We were lucky to be on a coach/bus that was not full. It has plenty of space and we had a group of about 10 to 15 people. We didn’t have to worry about anything, just making sure we were back at the coach/bus before it left. It was so easy. We looked into visiting these cities on our own and it looked like a lot of unnecessary stress. We visited on a very busy weekend in Madrid and there were so many people visiting Toledo and Segovia.

8.Toledo & Segovia Tour with Cathedral and Alcazar Tickets & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,046 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $45

Travel from Madrid to Toledo and Segovia by air-conditioned coach, with guided walks, Toledo’s Jewish quarter, a damascene craft workshop, Segovia’s aqueduct, and the Alcazar. Depending on your booking option, cathedral entry, lunch, and a stop in Avila may be included.

“I like the travel itinerary of Toledo and Segovia but the check-in of boarding the correct coach bus was confusing - 4 tours with multi-itinerary at the same meetup time slot. Nobody from Amigo tells me which queue to join even I asked one of the Amigo guide there and he just asked me to join the queue without checking the correct coach for me. The guide talked too much on the way to Toledo when we were supposed to take a nap and rest on the bus. The communication seemed one-sided instead of being interactive though he knew the history very well.”
