Private tours
Seville offers endless opportunities. You can arrange the visit according to your interests and the time you have available, with the possibility of combining the various proposals or creating a tailor made itinerary.
Cathedral and Santa Cruz district
Duration of the tour: 2 ½ hours
During this visit it will be a great pleasure for me to accompany you through the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, the old Jewish quarter of Seville, with its winding alleys and picturesque small squares. Here some of the most famous operas of all time took place. After going through Plaza del Triunfo (Triumph Square), with its three monuments declared by UNESCO as World Heritage sites, we will visit the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Its bell tower, the Giralda, the ancient minaret of the Almohad mosque of the XII century, has become the emblem of the city.

This visit will bring us inside the bullring of the Real Maestranza de Caballería, which is considered the temple of bullfighting, where from Easter Sunday to October, the best-known "matadors" of the world face the bulls in the ancestral struggle of man against nature. Crossing the oldest iron bridge in the city, we will reach Triana, which has given birth to famous bullfighters and to some of the most eminent figures of flamenco.

Noble Seville
Duration of the tour: 2 ½ hours
To take a peek into the aristocratic past of Seville my proposal would be to visit two of the most beautiful palaces of the city: the Casa de Pilatos and the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija.
The Casa de Pilatos is considered the prototype of the Andalusian palace. Its walls are covered with magnificent "azulejos" or tiles and a valuable collection of classical
sculptures enriches its halls and gardens.
The Palace of the Countess of Lebrija, which is considered the best paved
mansion in Europe, exhibits magnificent Roman mosaics from Italica, which were
recovered and restored by the Countess in the early XX century.
