Great guide, well informeel, Good contact with Group especially belgians ;-) One critic: for elderly People stairs are painfull. So mounting the hill to where the water came in from the river didn’t inform us, delivered no beautiful views and felt absurd: mounting up the hill and straight thereafter going down again.

We experienced the Cathedral/Giralda and Alcazar tour with Julio. Julio was amazing:. He had incredible knowledge, great communication skills and amazing humor. We learnt, we laughed and we enjoy every moment of the tour. I highly recommend this tour, and if possible, request Julio as your guide!!!

Havier was an excellent, well informed guide who demonstrated his own passion for the history of the Cathedral and Alcazar through his descriptions and stories. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3hrs with him and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seville.

It was just great and so beautiful! We could see everything, we were even lucky to see a lynx. Ramòn guided us well through the national park and did so with plenty of information. He could answer every question. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful tour of Seville by bike, thanks to Malék, who offered information and insights, with a little humour. He was a friendly and warm guide, and took us through the streets with no incident.
