Exploring Seville in Style and Substance

When you choose the Seville: City Highlights & Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour, you’re getting more than just a standard sightseeing run. It’s a chance to walk where locals do, soak in the atmosphere, and hear stories that bring the city’s history and culture alive. Led by passionate guides like Andrinna and Adriana — who both received praise for their energetic, personalized approach — you’ll feel like a guest rather than just a tourist.

The tour begins with an overview of Seville’s essential sights — think of the Alcázar, a stunning palace with roots in Moorish architecture, and Seville Cathedral, the third-largest church in the world, famous for its impressive Gothic spires.

From there, the journey can go where you want: wandering the narrow, winding streets of Barrio Santa Cruz, or exploring quiet courtyards tucked away from the crowds.
