Travel by comfortable coach from Málaga or the Costa del Sol to Seville with guides such as Melina or Pepe. See Plaza de España, walk Santa Cruz, and tour the Real Alcázar, with gardens, fountains, and free time for food and city wandering.

“The trip was perfectly organized. The journey to Seville took almost three hours, but we had a stop at a cafeteria that was well suited for large groups, with no queues for the restroom or the shop. Pepe took great care of the group. It was my second time in Seville, and although it was not enough time to see the full beauty of the city, it was a good amount of time to get a taste of the Andalusian capital and make plans for a longer stay in the future☺️ I highly recommend both this trip and the company.”

Once we were on our way, we took the most beautiful path all the way up to the Castle. The whole time we were on the Segways, he made us feel comfortable and safe and, because of that, we were able to fully enjoy the experience. Thank you, Rodrigo!

“The Alhambra visit was worth the trip. However, the bus driver was not appropriate for the trip. He had us scared with his aggressive driving and rude behavior. He almost run over a pedestrian and started tail gating several car along the way to the point that one person got out of his car and screamed at the driver. He also tried to get us to pay extra fifteen euros for dropping us off at the port even though we had already paid for the service. Very unprofessional and rude.”

“We paid for a private tour with a luxurious vehicle and were met with a Toyota Yaris with the driver/tour guide at 6’5” at least. The car was cramped and uncomfortable and the A/C wasn’t sufficient. Our guide was nice and friendly with a heavy Slavic accent which made him a bit difficult to understand. Seville was beautiful even with the heat.”
