Small groups are perfect for this very informative city tour. Thank you, Carlos. - We find a city walking tour when we first arrive in a new city is very helpful. We had a nice history major, Carlos who was most informative of all of Seville's major sites. There were only four of us which was perfect, plenty of time to talk about each site. Would recommend Carlos for this very nice tour.
