Seville Classical or Historical Morning Sightseeing Tour

Seville, Spain

Andalucia means just one thing: Seville! Who can fail to fall for the charms of this seductive city on the banks of the Guadalquivir River? Discover the history and secrets behind this magical orange-scented city on an informative morning tour. You have a choice of two itineraries: the classical tour or the historical tour.

CLASSICAL TOUR:
Beautiful Seville has many impressive monuments dating back over the centuries. The Moors' legacy of marvelous architecture includes the Gothic cathedral with its Giralda, a minaret transformed into a Christian bell tower.

After visiting the cathedral you will see the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower) by the Guadalquivir River, where important documents relating to the nautical history of Seville are stored. The Torre del Oro is closed on Mondays, when a visit to the Macarena Church will be included instead. You'll also enjoy panoramic views of Seville by coach.

HISTORICAL TOUR:
Discover the architecture of Seville in 1929, when the Iberoamerican Exhibition took place in the capital of Andalucia. You'll travel by coach to the Plaza de America and the Pabellon Mudejar by the Maria Luisa Gardens.

Continuing to the city center, you'll pay a visit to the Alcazar Royal Palace, a fantastic example of the Moorish style with gorgeous tile mosaics, shady courtyards and Moorish and Renaissance gardens.

The tour finishes in the narrow streets and tiny squares of the Santa Cruz quarter, Seville's historic Jewish district.

Very good introduction to Seville, much enjoyed.

Review by: James B	March 2012
The tour could have been very interesting, as Seville is a beautiful city but the guide was very hard to understand and spoke to fast. All on tour were English speaking except for one. Tour guide spoke as if reading from a script and there wasn't spontaneity as we have grown accustomed to on other Viator tours.

interesting tour

Review by: Tanya B	January 2012
The tour was enjoyable. The group was late to confirm this tour and left me a message on my mobile phone after I was already in Spain telling me where to meet the group, as I was driving in from a neighboring town. The hotel where they indicated sounded like it was well known from the message, but when I got lost and asked several Sevillanos they didn't know the hotel or the plaza. I missed the pickup but after contacting the tour office they tell me where to go to meet up with the rest of the tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable but spoke a tad to quick for my mother to understand.

Great tour! Very informative. They sent a whole bus for the four of us. They only down side was we had a mix-up with the pick up point which made for a late start. We were told to meet the tour at a hotel and we waited about a hour, finally called the local tour company only to find we had been staring at the empty bus down the street not knowing it was meant for us. No makings on the bus.

Would not recommend. Requested Engligh tour and it was combined with English and Spanish, difficult to tell when one ended and the next language started. Tour guide on cell phone multiple times, didn't seem attentive to tour participants. Wanted to get our money back for the afternoon tour as didn't want a repeat, would not honor request since prepaid, offered another tour the next day but we weren't going to be there.

The tour was great. I would do it again. The fact that is half by bus and half walking is what makes it interesting. In addition, the visit to the world largest cathedral makes the whole tour worhthwhile.

Excellent guide, well paced and very informational.

Tour was excellent. But had to wait an hour for bus and tour ended at last location --The Cathedral which was quiet a distance from my hotel. Last year I was collected and returned to my hotel which I think is one of the big advantages of Viator

Our guide was impatient with questions; spoke too quickly and appeared not at all interested in our experience. I would NOT recommend this tour.

Enjoyable, interesting and informative. Well worth doing.

Review by: Richard Lasar	October 2010
The tour was very good but the English speaking guide did not speak English. No one(including Americans, Canadians, British and Austrailans) could understand a word she said in English. Very frustrating. All we could do was look at everything, but we didn't know what anything was.

Review by: Richard Lasar	October 2010
Tour was very good. however, the company that organized it did a very poor job. they did not pick us up at the hotel they told us to go to and then they told us to go to another hotel about 2-3 miles away and we had to walk to it and it was our first day in the city so we didn't know where we were going. It was very stressful. However, the guide was very good.

Excellent tour, its a shame they dont include the tour of the cathedral.

Review by: MARO S	September 2010
great

Review by: Anonymous, Malaysia	June 2010
Great tour but I was surprised a visit to the bullring was not included. Plus it was conducted in both Spanish & English instead of just English. As the tour group comprised largely of Spanish-speakers, it was skewed towards Spanish with only brief English translations. I felt a bit short-changed but having said that, the guide did a great job.

Excellent tour. Very satisfied and the guide was excellent.

Good tour.

Review by: Julie D, Australia	October 2009
Saw plenty but it was rather rushed. I would have preferred it to last one or two hours longer and charge extra. The guide was difficult to understand, switching from English to Spanish too quickly.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	September 2009
Should allow more time at each site. I felt like we were rushing!

Review by: Anonymous, Spain	September 2009
The places visited were great on the historical tour however the guide, although very nice, was not an official guide and we could have probably had a Spanish friend to take us around and learnt as much or little.

Review by: Aspasia K, Greece	May 2009
The schedule was fine, and the guide was a very nice person, only he was not a professional guide concerning his knowledge.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	January 2009
Our guide was fantsatic. We happened to be the only two people on this particular day so it was almost like a private tour. Our guide knew his history very well, had a great sense of humour and was also very entertaining.

Really friendly guide. Was a good overview but one should also walk around to explore or go on a walking tour .

We enjoyed the tour; it was a good value for the things we were able to see. The tour guide was informal, had a good sense of humor, and spoke excellent English.
