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

We did a virtual tour of the Legends of Sevilla. Juan did a great job of bringing the stories to life. It was great to see photos taken of the key places during the past month so that you really have a sense of how the city is currently looking and feeling. Juan is very knowledgeable about the history of Sevilla and, just as importantly, the legends. If you have never visited Sevilla, you will definitely want to go after this tour!

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

First of all, the views once we were inside were amazing. I booked this guide through trip advisor months in advance for our trip and it was one of the main highlights. 12 hours the night before our hike, our guide texted me saying he needed to cancel the hike. After asking if there was anything else he could do to be able to go he got back with me saying it was back on. We were also very late to our scheduled time to enter because our guide was unaware of the different route required do to recent rain. It was very stressful once we were there because they would not let us in for our guided tour because we were late. After a lot of arguing between our guide and the workers they let us in the hike on our own without a guide. This experience ended up being exactly what we wanted anyway, without the tour guide! Over all hiking the Caminito Del Ray was everything we expected and more. I think this tour was worth it just because it was a convenient way to get from Seville and back. I would say it was definitely disorganized as the pick up location changed multiple times and the hike almost being cancelled in less than 24 hours before, but at the end everything worked out. I would recommend this if you need a ride from Seville, but I would also recommend looking into taking a train and buying tickets from their website as the hike itself is about a tenth of the price of this guide.
10. Seville Pure Flamenco Tour
Overall Ratings
3.7 based on 3 reviews
El flamenco es uno de los elementos más característicos de la cultura española, especialmente en toda la región sur de Andalucía. El flamenco nació para muchos en Triana, al otro lado del río de Sevilla, principalmente en las minas y en el campo donde vivían los gitanos desde el siglo XV, enviados allí por la Santa Inquisición. El baile flamenco, como un tercio de la quintaesencia del fenómeno español del flamenco, tiene un extenso trasfondo histórico que es paralelo al desarrollo cultural de la propia España. El guía hablará sobre esto y mucho más, antes de llevarte al espectáculo. El flamenco es un arte especialmente andaluz, que ha traspasado fronteras y ha sido declarado Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial.
Inclusions: Full Show., 1 hour long live unplugged show with Spanish guitar, male dancer, female dancer and singer, Master Class de Flamenco tras finalizar el espectaculo
Exclusions: Food and additional drinks, Hotel pick up and drop off
