Taste Seville through old tapas bars, orange wine, Iberian ham, sherry, and local history on a small-group evening walk.
“This tour was fun and entertaining; the perfect kickoff to our holiday in Seville! Manuel was fantastic, funny, passionate, and lively. He definitely made the experience enjoyable! He took us to 4 restaurants that we aren’t sure we would have ever found on our own. The atmosphere and the food were phenomenal. We even went back to a couple of the restaurants in the following days for seconds! This is a great way to be introduced to the tapas lifestyle and learn a little history.”
Taste Seville through four local tapas stops, historic taverns, vermouth, wine, and stories with a small English-speaking group.

“Wrong meeting point was given. Guide was unwilling to give me the location of the next stop on the tour. She would only give me their current location. I spent 45 minute of a 2 hour tour trying to catch up. I gave up and went back to the hotel.”
Review of the Gibraltar day trip from Seville, with Rock views, St. Michael’s Cave, monkeys, border tips, free time, and practical advice.
“Gibraltar was very cool. The tour day is long. It takes about 2.5 hours to get to Gibraltar. So have to go thru immigration and cross an airfield. So that’s an experience. In my opinion the time in town is too long. There’s nothing really special there. The time on the rock is very rushed. Our tour guide, Daniella, was great. Very kind. Our driver, Angel, on the rock portion didn’t act like he wanted to be there. He rushed us. We were at the lookout point where you could see Morocco and he Said nothing informative. So we didn’t know until we got back that we actually saw Africa.…”
Taste Seville’s best tapas, orange wine, Iberian ham, and local history on a three-hour walking tour through four traditional taverns.
“We loved our tour with Manuel. It was a great introduction to the beverages and tapas of Sevilla. We got to visit places and try dishes ( like orange wine) that we wouldn’t have found on our own or been bold enough to try! Then we had a wonderful meal at a very popular restaurant, packed with locals. Always a good sign. I highly recommend this tour.”

“Nice trip to a great archaeological site and an interesting monastery, inbut poorly organised and very late in returning.”
Explore Triana through 10 tapas, four drinks, family-run bars, and Seville history on a private three-hour evening walk.
“The tapas tour was insightful and informative, offering a fun experience overall. However, at two of the venues, we were seated in backrooms, which took away from the authentic atmosphere. Despite this, the tour provided a great introduction to local cuisine and culture.”
Explore Seville’s Jewish Quarter with a small group, tracing lost synagogues, medieval stories, and overlooked corners for $32.65.
“Marta was welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about Seville, which drew us into the tour. I enjoyed learning about the historic Jewish community, and seeing the few remaining artifacts from them. Marta also provided enough context for us to see how things unfolded. Today there are virtually no Jews in Seville, a reflection of centuries of persecution, but Marta deftly explained the roles Jews played in the 13th and 14th centuries and how their presence remains woven through the fabric of the city to this day.”
See Seville’s Alcazar, Santa Cruz, Plaza de España, Triana, and more on a guided 3-hour Segway tour with training included.
“Had an amazing tour of the city highlights on a private Segway tour. Our son was able to do it at 13, so he was very happy. The tour company reached out early in the day to see if we could start earlier so that we could get into one of the sites before they closed as there was a private concert being held that night. We were able to adjust and met at their store to get suited with helmets and our training on the Segway. After 5-10 minutes we were off on the tour. We saw all the major sites on our 3 hr tour. Barry, who has…”

De plus il parle parfaitement le français, l'italien et l'espagnol ! L'anglais aussi sûrement mais nous n'avons pas eu l'occasion de le tester, tellement son français était impeccable !

Her English was impeccable and she clearly enjoys sharing her pride in her city with her guests.”
