We loved the rail tour. The train was was fast and quiet. Our guide was a little hard to understand in Seville. They were prompt in picking us up.
Great guide, great city. Very different from Madrid.
Good. Confused with a meeting point at Seville. So that instructions are not enough
This was a great tour. We had to catch the train at 6.30 am in Madrid and arrived at Seville at 9.15 and went to a hotel near the station for the start of the tour. Our tour guide was very good and we enjoyed walking through the Jewish quarter (Santa Cruz). We had a tour through the Cathedral and then surprisingly the tour ended. We were stranded in the middle of Seville at lunchtime with no idea where we were but managed to eventually find a tourist information centre (not an easy task) and get a map. We had wanted to visit the Royal Palace (Real Alcazar) which we did. At the end of our tour our guide gave us various options to fill in the rest of the day but didn't mention the Alcazar which was on our wish list. He also pointed in the general direction of how to get to various places like the river but that proved not to be easy without a map. Our train back to Seville did not leave until 7.15 pm so we had plenty of free time in Seville but without a map were unsure of how best to use that time.
Tour was very good, but I had problems understanding the guide
Seville is a gorgeous city that is definitely worth seeing. However, I found it a bit confusing to understand the tour operator because she spoke so incredibly fast in both Spanish and English. I do speak both languages fluently and found myself translating and recapping what she had covered to some of the other travelers. Overall, I did enjoy the trip and would consider doing it again to Barcelona next time.
Enjoyed our trip to Seville. Very nice place to visit, plenty of sights to see. Very good restaurants.
The rail ride was a great experience. However, the guide was terrible and she had to translate 3 different languages which made the sightseeing very difficult. I would limit the languages to two in the future. The sightseeing was unorganized and boring.
It was certainly not what the brochure advertised. The tour was 3 hours not 4. It dropped you off in front of the cathedral where you had to pay for the admission yourself. Going through the pottery and ceramic tile museum was the biggest waste of time imaginable. We were supposed to have a tour rep meet us on the AVE. We were alone on the AVE. Meeting the tour bus was very confusing when we got off the train. The tour guide was just fair. She just told us the basic facts that you could get our of any basic tour guide. We overheard other tour guides giving really great explanations on other tours and we wished that we could have joined them.
