About this tour

A two-hour private walking tour of Seville's historic centre, led by a local guide who navigates you through the city's layered past. Starting at Plaza Nueva, you'll encounter the Cathedral's exterior—one of Europe's grandest—before moving to the Alcázar palace, recognisable from Game of Thrones and other productions. The tour takes in Plaza de España's architectural splendour and winds through Santa Cruz, the former Jewish quarter with its maze of narrow, flower-draped streets.

Highlights

  • Cathedral exterior, Spain's largest and world's second biggest
  • Alcázar palace, backdrop for Game of Thrones filming
  • Plaza de España's sweeping Moorish-revival architecture
  • Santa Cruz's tangled lanes and hidden courtyards
  • Local guide shares Seville's Moorish and medieval heritage
  • Cobbled streets and intimate neighbourhood exploration

What to expect

Expect a leisurely pace through compact, walkable terrain. Your guide will point out architectural details and explain how Seville's Jewish, Moorish, and Christian past shaped its layout. You'll spend time observing major monuments from street level rather than entering them—the focus is understanding the city's structure and character from the outside. The narrow streets of Santa Cruz demand a slower gait, especially in summer heat. This is urban sightseeing, not a museum-hopping sprint.

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones and uneven surfaces. The tour is fully wheelchair accessible with smooth pathways throughout. Bring water; the Andalusian sun is intense. Food and drinks are not included, so plan a café stop separately.
