Seville Afternoon Sightseeing Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Seville, Spain
My Review: In the description of the tour, it says that it is a panoramic tour followed by visits to La Macarena, the Expo Site and the river cruise. As it turned out, we found out that the tour only takes you to Three places - La Macarena, the Church of Charity and the Expo Site, to be followed by a river cruise. These are minor sights in Seville and we did not by any means have any panoramic tour of the city unless you want to count the 20-minute drive from our hotel to pick up the guide as a panoramic tour! When I found out from the guide that we would not even get to see the Seville Cathedral on this tour, I insisted on changing the itinerary to visiting the Cathedral and skipping La Macarena and the Expo Site. Since our party of 8 were the only people on this tour, we managed to get the guide to change the itinerary on the agreement that we would pay for the entrance to the Cathedral ourselves. I really think that any tour of Seville without the Cathedral can't be a proper city tour and I certainly cannot understand how a tour which only visits 3 places can describe itself as a panoramic tour. My recommendation is do the morning "classic" tour which, according to our guide, covers the major sights, or if you only have one afternoon, do the sightseeing by yourself. This tour is a waste of time. Also, the guide's English is rather incomprehensible even to somebody like me who is a linguist by training. She also did not seem to care whether people understood her or not. I have joined numerous tours before and this is no doubt the worst in terms of itinerary planning and delivery.
