Things to do in Seville, Andalucia: The Best Cultural Tours

February 19, 2022 Jasper Kershner

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.

The first travel around the world. "" ... and this path that this ship made was the greatest and newest thing that since God raised the first man was seen. "" Welcome to the heart of the city of Seville, where a team of hosts awaits you ready to accompany you and create a unique experience for this traveling chapter that you are about to start. The expedition of Magellan and Elcano was the first to "" travel and discover all the roundness of the world "" in the words of Juan Sebastián de Elcano himself. This happened between 1519 and 1522, when the means of navigation were still incredibly rudimentary, and life on board these primitive ships lacked any comfort or security. Furthermore, it was a journey into the unknown, which was not going to have any possibility of receiving help, and full of possible dangers.

Inclusions: Local guide and professional expert in History, 90 Minutes tour and Stories and Legends

Exclusions: Entrance to the visited monuments, Optional tip

I rented a bike from them for the 950 km journey to Santiago and I could not of made a better choice. Their service was outstanding. When my hotel would not permit me to store the bike on the first night they opened their store for me on Sunday so I could set off on time. When I experienced problems due probably to the 36 degree heat and jet lag they brought me another bike. They arranged for me to drop off the bike in Santiago at the conclusion of my journey. Sofia was my main contact during the complete process and she was excellent. Can’t say enough good things about her and the company.

This was a great way to get an overal view of a number of interesting places to visit later in detail. We were collected at our Hotel and then Rachael kept a good pace to collect the rest of the walkers and we made our way to the cathedral. We were split into groups and then it all began. Rachael gave us a well informed history of the cathedral with numerous amusing stories. We ambled around the cathedral being told about the history of it and the surrounding buildings. It was time for a quick drink and comfort stop then off we went again vining more places of interest. The tour lasted about 3 hours including the break. The tour is free and you give a donation if you want. We felt we had had a very informed morning, learned a lot about various places of interest. Rachael was very informed with a great sense of humour and her English was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour
