Seville: Cathedral, Giralda & Alcazar Entry With Guided Tour

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

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

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😊”
