The 10 Best Archaeology Tours in Seville, Andalucia

December 5, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Originally founded as a Roman city and now home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Seville is bursting with antique charm. The Alcazar palace complex is a stunning collage of architectural styles, and the Cathedral will impress you with its beauty and its status as the burial site of Christopher Columbus. The Metropol Parasol is the world’s largest wooden structure, a massive mix of grids and swirls that contains a market and a terrace observatory.

This is one of the best experiences ever! We arranged it for a friend's birthday surprise. Mahsa was extremely helpful in the run-up to the event and very friendly in all communications. The show itself was outstanding, with Costanza accompanied by an excellent singer and guitarist. We opted for this upgrade and it was definitely worth it. The three performers explained the music in English, asked us if we had any questions, and then taught us a few steps. All in all, an extremely enjoyable hour and would TOTALLY recommend! Olé

Our tour of the white villages was excellent! Of all our semiprivate tours in Portugal and Spain it was by far the best. I can’t remember our guides name, but the date of the tour was Oct 31st. He had great knowledge of the landscape and culture and was very accommodating. If the company could give me the name from this review that would be wonderful because he was an excellent guide and would love to book with him again. He took us places off the beaten that we would have otherwise not come across.

Little Rome was the first Roman city built outside of Italy in 206 BC. C. by General Publio Cornelio Escipión, the African. City that saw the birth of two Roman emperors, Trajan and Hadrian, where luxury and "simulacra romae" were enjoyed. We will walk its ancient streets by the hand of our guide who will help us interpret and know the whole enclave. We will also discover amazing mosaics, the Traianeum, the old major hot springs and its famous amphitheater. It is the third largest in the world, where the famous gladiatorial fights took place and has been the scene of the popular Game of Thrones series. Its Roman theater, discovered in the middle of the twentieth century, is undoubtedly one of the best preserved in Europe, in which works are still represented. After the visit of this enclave we will march to the monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, a medieval fortress We will finish in a traditional cellar, where we will enjoy a tasting.

I can really recommend a tour with Viva Sevilla Tours! I did two: the flamenco tour and the bicycle tour. The bicycle tour is nice for getting to know the city and to get an overview of all the city has to offer. I also really enjoyed the flamenco tour. It so nice to have a better understanding of flamenco, it’s origins and the meaning of the gestures, as you see it everywhere on the streets in Sevilla. Sabine is a very nice, funny and passionate host!
