- Monumento a la Tolerancia - A very modern monument that represents the different cultures that have called to Seville home and that have been able to coexist for centuries.
- Puente de Isabel II (Puente de Triana) - The first fixed bridge of Seville, it was built to replace the former floating bridge that connected the city with Triana quarter. This is a very good example to the iron architecture of the 1800’s
- Mercado de Triana - The traditional market of the neighbourhood will allow us to speak about the importance of the products of the area and how they have contributed to Mediterranean cuisine.
- Centro Ceramica Triana - Here we will learn about the importance of the the crafts of the area and their contribution to the arts. Focusing on the ceramic we will also see how some traditional artisan workshops are making out of Triana a relevant location
- Callejon de la Inquisicion - Getting into the Castle of San Jorge we will explore the only defensive structure of the area and headquarters of the Inquisition. We’ll learn about this religious court and its importance in local history.
- Capilla de los Marineros - At this little church we’ll learn about one of the most important religious festivities, the Holy Week. Being the site of the most beloved brotherhoods of Triana the chapel is still a mandatory stop for everybody visiting this suburb.
- Iglesia de Santa Ana - The most important church of Triana and the first one built after the Christian conquest of 1248. A very good example of Mudéjar architecture style that was popularly know as the ‘Cathedral of Triana’

Excellent fun and informative walking tour - highly recommended - Really interesting and enjoyable walking tour. Our guide Miguel shared loads of interesting info about Seville past and present. We started on the river and talked about how Seville has evolved since the time of the Romans and its historical importance as Spain’s dominant port city.
Then we crossed over and explored Triana, its distinct evolution and its local history.
It was all fascinating and brought the area to life in a way that would not have been the case if we had just wandered by ourselves. Miguel was a super guide, with a great sense of humour and turn of phrase.
We highly recommend this tour to learn about Seville in general and Triana in particular.

You can not lose this! Great Atmosphere.... - We had the opportunity to take a walk along the River and see from another perspective what the Triana neighborhood and other places located on the shore offer. Very well explained on the bottle. In the Triana neighborhood we toured its terraces and some of the emblematic places. A great atmosphere!

See the beautiful ceramics of Triana - Triana was a real surprise and well worth a visit if you're in Seville. Our guide, Carmen, was great and really brought the stories to life. Very interesting and certainly recommended.

Excellent location with food, staff & service to match. - Great riverside location with bar to match.
Very helpful & polite staff, felt like they really appreciated our custom.
Family of five, all starters, mains & drinks were excellent & filling, good value too.
Fine dining in a beautiful restaurant & location.
A few drinks at the riverside bar afterwards finished off a very enjoyable evening.
Excellent all round, looking forward to our next visit.

Don't leave Seville without crossing the bridge! - If Carmen María is leading the tour, I'm on it! She was so super knowledgeable and super fun. Carmen took us to all the best, off the beaten path spots, and had great stories to tell about each one.

Great insight into the history of Triana & Seville - We had an excellent tour with our guide Carmen! She did an excellent job explaining the history and importance of the Triana district throughout the history of the city, including some really interesting tidbits of trivia. She provided some really great insights into the city, and made the tour fun and relatable. Would definitely recommend this tour! We also went to a tapas restaurant she recommended during the tour, and it was excellent!

Fascinating tour with a great guide - We really enjoyed our tour of Triana with Carmen in the first week of May. Carmen was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and we found out lots about the district of Triana. Would really recommend doing a guided tour around this area so you can fully appreciate its rich and interesting history. Without a knowledgeable tour guide like Carmen, this could be overlooked (given there are few traditional ‘monuments’). The tour groups are small so you have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore areas of interest. Would 100% recommend!

walked about one mile total on both sides of the river learning about the history of Seville with an emphasis on Triana - Carmen our guide was enthusiastic, personable and very knowledgeable about history. She was willing to tailor her comments to our interests as well. We also bought the Seville guidebook on Amazon that the founder wrote. We paid on their website well in advance and they were responsible about communicating to meet up with us the day of the tour. Seems to be a well managed, responsible tour company with well trained/educated guides.

Interesting - The bridge that connects to the Triana district. The steel structure of the bridge is interesting, even if in some points the stresses to which it is subjected are very noticeable. Beautiful spot for photos along the river and the Sevilla tower. In the neighborhood of Tirana there was a religious celebration.
