Interesting and informative tour. - Clara was an excellent guide with a delightful persona. Full of interesting and intriguing information. As we walked thru the streets of the now almost oblitersted Jewish section -- Clara filled us in to what was and where. We ended up with a pleasant meal and walk through the lively Santa Cruz section.

Clara, our guide did a fabulous job. The time flew by as we strolled, observed and learned about history in this quarter and in Spain in general.
Thank you!

Worthwhile and interesting tour. - We 'thought' we had seen the Jewish quarter the day before, as part of a tour of the Real Alcazar, but we were wrong! Tour guide was Marta. The tour started at the entry to the Alcazar and then headed to an area that, while adjacent to the Alcazar, has its access really quite hidden unless you know where to look. Marta was quite knowledgeable about the area and its history. The Jewish quarter overall is a quiet hidden area of narrow winding streets and small plazas in a unique location within Sevilla. It is very much worth seeing assuming one has an interest. Tour of the quarter ended with a short walk to a bar for tapas and drinks. We did not stop at a wine cellar (which was ok as that was not what the tour was really about). Tour concluded on a beautiful and active side street near the main Cathedral.

One of the best tours of our trip to Spain - highly recommend. - We really enjoyed and appreciated our small group tour with Manuel. Although the tour focused on the Jewish Quarter, Manuel gave us a fantastic overview of the history of Seville starting with its earliest known inhabitants. He is a font of knowledge. Although there is not much left to see of the original Jewish Quarter, Manuel shared stories and history and even showed us a preserved Jewish headstone from a cemetery that was otherwise destroyed.
We weren't originally signed up for the tapas portion of the tour, but we were having such a good time that we decided to stay for dinner. Manuel was very helpful ordering food for the vegetarians in the group (which isn't always easy in Spain!). As I said before, Manuel is very knowledgeable - one of the best guides we met during our time in Spain. I highly recommend this company and this tour.

An excellent tour with a brilliant guide! - Our tour guide, Carlos, was excellent - knowledgable, friendly and shared his passion for the city. His background in history meant that his delivery was not "canned". We engaged in a conversation and he answered questions thoughtfully. He conveyed a balance of seriousness for the topic and humour. It was an intellectually stimulating tour. The tapas at the end, while good was not the most exciting food we have had in Seville. I would have paid an extra 15 Euros for more or more interesting tapas.
