A great way to get introduced to Sevilla.

This tour was great as we hadn't done our homework on Seville so it was full of pleasant surprises.

Very good introduction to Seville, much enjoyed.

Doing what: Private Monumental Seville Walking Tour

Loved this tour more than the Alhambra in Granada. Our guide was very knowledgable and had fantastic historical facts, and a great sense of humour. A highlight of our Spain trip.

A very nice tour - interesting sights and a very cheerful and charming guide!

When booking this tour we selected English as the tour language. We found out that it was Spanish,English and French. Very disappointing.The focus seemed to be on the Spanish speaking participants. Could not hear the guide as she was very soft spoken. She needed a microphone and we needed hearing devices We missed a lot of what she was saying. We were not pleased with this tour at all. We did not feel we learned much at all of the historical sights. I would make sure anyone taking this tour checked on the language spoken and not a combination

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better Review by James B, USA, March 2012
Doing what: Seville Classical or Historical Morning Sightseeing Tour

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.

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.

interesting tour

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.

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.

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.

Excellent guide, well paced and very informational.

NIce tour of historic Seville. Guide did not introduce himself, guided more in Spanish than in English, even after we made a remark of this.

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
