Worth your time - Alexis was very knowledgeable and funny. We had a great time talking about Italica and Spanish history. We almost had the place to ourselves which was fun but we didn’t understand why because the ruins were amazing. We also loved it as Game of Thrones fans because they filmed there!

Italica-must see if have any interest in Roman era - Was a fantastic tour. Very, very informative. Alex was a walking encyclopedia re Italica and Roman outposts in general. Is a nice pace as walk the streets in place over 1000 years and see the remnants of the portion of the city escalated to date. Is an active archaeological site so every year more is uncovered and restored!

Alex was amazing! - The tour of Italica was interesting and Alex was informative. He was on time and obviously knew the history and layout of this Roman treasure. The weather was not ideal yet the two hours flew by as if was a more pleasant sunny day. Highly recommend Alex and Italica!!

Fascinating tour of Roman ruins (and Game Of Thrones set) with an Excellent tour guide! - We heard that there's a historic part of Sevilla that was used for filming Game of Thrones, and decided to go see. We booked this tour to ensure we learned the history of Sevilla, and some modern info as well. Thanks to our guide, we enjoyed the tour and learned a lot as well. Our guide was easy to understand (we speak English and just a little Spanish) and a very nice guy. He obviously knows the history of Sevilla well, he even has a college degree in history. Our guide made the tour so interesting, that we forgot about the weather (hot!) and took lots of pictures. And he was nice enough to give us a ride back to the city (not included in the tour). Sevilla is a lovely, authentic Spanish city with a rich history. We can't wait to go back again, and I would definitely recommend taking advantage of a tour like this, especially with this guide.

Do this tour! - The tour to Italica was an eye-opener and our wonderful guide David made the history come alive. David picked us up at the hotel and during the drive to the archaeological site he pointed out many interesting places and facts. The Italica site was quiet with few visitors, and we walked around leisurely while David explained and demonstrated the life and times of ancient Roman culture, and how those customs influence the way we live today. It was really fascinating to learn about the many customs that originate from those ancient times. Afterwards David kindly took us to see the remains of the Moorish and Roman city walls, as well as the only two remaining remnants of the city aquaducts. A truly memorable experience - thank you David!

Informative and well worth it ! - Our guide Veronica did a wonderful job of explaining so many things about Italica. She was very accommodating regarding our arrival situation. We definitely reccomend the tour because of the information and perspective that you won't get simply walking around the Amphitheater. Thank you !

Italica 2 hour tour - Javier was our tour guide. He was energetic and well informed . We could have the walked around the site without a guide except we would not have gained as much. It’s best to do this tour in the morning due to the heat. Make sure to bring a hat , good walking shoes, and water .
