Great informative tour. That was not too long - We wanted to make sure that we did a tour of the alcazar since there's so much detail involved here. Andreas, our guide was charming and so informative. He gave us lots of backstory on the Kings and also some information on the game of the thrones, yes we are fans and other movies that have been shot here which brought it a bit more to life for us as well. He was very conscientious of keeping us in the shade. Very enjoyable tour not too long.

Get a guide so you don't miss out!!! - We had not planned to tour with a guide but decided to join this tour at the last minute, and we are so glad that we did. Andres is an incredibly knowledgeable guide. We would have missed so many interesting facts and particulars without his guidance. Seemingly simple things like the marks made by individual craftsmen as 'signatures' in wood carvings and tile work and the small indicates of the kingdoms of Castille and Leon within various accouterments. Fascinating. This is one of our top 3 highlights from our entire European trip. This was well worth the money!

Stunning Palacial architecture - This was a marvellous trip which was booked before leaving the uk.
The tours get booked very quickly so recommend this one in English with reduced numbers to be excellent.
This ticket also gets you to the front of the queue alongside your guide.
Be sure to take ID (passport, photo ID or driving licence)
Antonio was our guide and was so knowledgeable about the history behind the palace and all who have stayed here past and present.
The palace is stunning in architecture and a definite must to visit whilst in Seville

Beautiful Palace - We had an amazing time with Andrea, he was very informative and clearly spoken. He was very prompt and made the most of when rooms were clear for us to go in and hear the history.

Very good tour guide Andreas - We did the Alcazar Palace (reduced group option) and our guide Andreas was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and his English was excellent. He also had a good sense of humour. I would thoroughly recommend this.
Our only small criticism was that it should have been highlighted on our booking form where we had to meet and to look for a guide holding a placard with a 'P' on it. We queued up in the wrong place.

Excellent Alcazar Tour! - Andres is a wonderful tour guide! His knowledge of the history of the Alcazar was excellent. He ushered into rooms that were less crowded so we could enjoy the beauty of the Palace. All of the questions the members of our tour had were answered very concisely. Overall I was pleased with the information and pace of the tour. I also appreciated the small size of our group. Highly recommended!
