A Fun and Eco-Friendly Way to Explore Seville
When it comes to discovering Seville, traditional walking tours or bus routes can sometimes feel a bit stiff or crowded. That’s why we found this 1-hour private electric tuk-tuk tour by TUK TUK TRIPS S.L. especially appealing. For just $71 per group (up to four people), you get a personalized, sustainable way to see the city’s highlights. Starting and ending at the Hotel Becquer’s entrance, this tour takes you through some of Seville’s most renowned landmarks in a relaxed and intimate setting.
What we love most about this experience is how close you feel to the city—literally. Riding in a quiet electric tuk-tuk allows you to soak in the sights without the noise and exhaust fumes of larger vehicles. Plus, the live commentary from your local guide offers a treasure trove of stories and insights that bring the city’s history alive. The second highlight? The flexibility to enjoy a tailored route—whether you want to spend more time at the Real Alcázar or get perfect photos at Plaza de España.
A small downside? The tour isn’t suitable for children under 2, and since it lasts only an hour, it’s best as a quick overview rather than an in-depth exploration. This tour suits travelers who want a light, breezy introduction to Seville or those with limited time but a desire to see the main sights comfortably.

Exploring Seville by Tuk-Tuk: A Closer Look
The Itinerary and Why It Matters
Starting at the Reyes Católicos Street, the tour instantly immerses you in the heart of Seville. From there, your guide will weave stories about the city’s rich past as you pass by the Real Alcázar. As one traveler remarked, “We loved the way the guide shared stories about the legends of Seville—our family felt like we were walking with an old friend.”
The route then heads toward Plaza de España, arguably one of Seville’s most picturesque spots. While you can’t go inside the monument during this tour, the views from the outside are stunning, and the tuk-tuk’s open sides make for excellent photo opportunities. The guide might point out details you’d miss on a bus or walking tour, like the intricate tile work or the history behind the buildings.
Next, the Arco de la Macarena provides a quick glimpse of one of Seville’s most iconic entrances. The tour then proceeds to the Triana neighborhood, famous for its lively atmosphere and historic ceramics studios. Here, you’ll get a taste of local life—something that larger tours often overlook. As one review notes, “Feeling close to the streets and shops in Triana was a highlight—more authentic than just passing through.”
Comfort and Practicality
The electric tuk-tuk itself is surprisingly spacious for a small vehicle, with enough room for four people and personal belongings. We appreciated the wind and rain covers, which kept us warm and dry during a brief sprinkle — a reminder that Seville’s weather can be unpredictable.
The live commentary is a standout feature. The guides are knowledgeable and happy to tailor their insights based on your interests. Whether you’re more into history, architecture, or local legends, this flexibility enhances the experience.

However, some mention that since the tour is only an hour long, it provides a great overview but doesn’t replace a full day of sightseeing. It’s ideal as an introduction or a quick taste of Seville.
