Seven ways to begin
Choose how you want to discover Seville
Each tour answers a different question: what is essential, how much time you have, or which other side of the city you would like to see.

A private tour means the route adapts to you
On a public group tour the script is fixed before you arrive. On a private tour the starting point is you: how much time you have, whether it is your first visit, whether you are drawn to art, everyday history or legends, and how fast you like to walk.
That shows in concrete ways. You can linger in a courtyard that catches your eye, skip a monument that does not speak to you, or change the order to avoid the hottest hours. Above all, you can ask questions. A good tour feels more like a conversation than a lecture.
There are reasonable limits — opening hours, timed entry slots, distances — and María explains them clearly when she prepares your proposal, so you know from the start what fits and what does not.
Is this your first time in Seville?
On a first visit it helps to begin with the places that explain the rest of the city. Use this table to choose according to your time.
| If you have… | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A morning or an afternoon | Alcázar, Cathedral and Santa Cruz | Together, the three places tell how Seville was built. |
| A full day | Seville in one day | The essentials with breaks, without trying to see everything. |
| Two days or more | Seville in two days | One day for monuments, another for neighbourhoods, river and squares. |
| A free evening | Seville by night | Different light, a different rhythm and the stories that suit the dark. |
Looking for a different perspective?
If you already know the great monuments, there are other ways into Seville. The stories and legends tour follows kings, lovers and characters who left their mark on specific streets. Triana and Plaza de España crosses the river to talk about crafts, ceramics and identity. The Santa Cruz quarter is walked slowly, reading what its small squares conceal.
And after sunset, Seville by night offers the city at a gentler temperature and in a different light.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private guided tour of Seville cost?
It depends on the length of the tour, the size of your group and whether it includes monuments that require tickets. Send María your date and group size and she will reply with a proposal and its price before anything is confirmed.
How long does a guided tour last?
It depends on the route and on what you want to see. When you tell María your plans, she will suggest a realistic length so the tour never becomes a race.
Are monument tickets included?
It depends on the tour. When preparing your proposal, María explains which monuments need tickets and how to get them in advance, as some time slots sell out in high season.
Which languages are available?
Mention the language you need in your message and María will confirm whether she can guide you on that date.
Is it suitable for children or people with reduced mobility?
The pace and breaks can be adapted. Tell María the children’s ages or any mobility needs and she will tell you honestly which parts of the route work best.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better, especially in spring, Holy Week, the April Fair and long weekends, and whenever the route includes monuments that require tickets.
