Full Day Private Tour to Sevilla from Cádiz

For those traveling through southern Spain, a private full-day trip to Seville from Cádiz offers a delightful blend of comfort, flexibility, and authentic local sights. Priced at around $435 per person, this experience is perfect whether you’re arriving on a cruise or staying in Cádiz for a few days. Your personal driver, who meets you directly at the port or your accommodation, takes you on a scenic drive through Andalusia’s rolling countryside—think olive groves and charming villages—before arriving in Seville, the lively heart of Andalusia.

What we really love about this tour is its personalized approach: with a dedicated guide leading a two-hour walk, you get insider insights into Seville’s top landmarks, avoiding the crowds and feeling like a local. The two hours of guided exploration highlight the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the spectacular Plaza de España, and the historic downtown, along with the scenic banks of the Guadalquivir River. Plus, the free time afterward lets you choose your own adventure—whether that’s visiting Seville’s iconic Cathedral, marveling at the Alcázar, sampling local tapas, or simply wandering through vibrant streets.

A small drawback? The price point of $435 per person might seem steep for some travelers, especially if you’re not keen on additional expenses like meals or entry tickets. Also, since transportation is private and tailored, it’s best suited for those who want a relaxed, personalized experience rather than a large-group tour.
