    The contribution is voluntary at the end, based on your experience.

  • Is a booking required?

    arrow

    Yes, places are limited.

  • What documentation do I need?

    arrow

    Your digital voucher on your phone and the booking holder’s ID.

  • How early should I arrive?

    arrow

    Arrive 10–15 minutes early at the designated meeting point.

  • How do I get to Seville city centre and where can I park?

    arrow

    Getting there

    • From the airport (SVQ): special airport bus to the centre (stops include Prado de San Sebastián, San Bernardo, Santa Justa and the Central Zone) in about 35–45 minutes, or taxi/rideshare in roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
    • From Santa Justa train station: 25–30 minutes on foot to the monumental area, or 10–15 minutes by city bus or taxi. You can also connect to the MetroCentro tram (line T1) from San Bernardo or Prado.
    • From the intercity bus stations (Plaza de Armas or Prado): 10–20 minutes on foot, or a few minutes by bus/taxi to the historic centre.

    Where to park

    • On-street blue zone: regulated, paid spaces near the centre with time limits. Check local signage for hours and rates.
    • Public car parks (recommended): 24/7, well located—such as Arenal / Paseo Colón (riverfront), Cano y Cueto (by the Jardines de Murillo), Avenida de Roma (by Puerta de Jerez), Imagen / Las Setas (Encarnación area), Plaza de Armas (by the bus terminal) or Mercado de Triana (across the bridge, a pleasant walk from the centre).

    Tips: the historic core has pedestrian streets and camera-controlled restricted access; avoid driving into narrow quarters like Santa Cruz or Arenal. It’s best to leave your car in a perimeter car park and continue on foot, by tram (T1), or by bus. If your hotel is inside the old town, ask in advance about permitted access and loading zones.

  • Licensed Guide. 
  • Nothing not specified in the 'includes' section.
  • Entry to any type of monument.
  • We verify the provided email to ensure the validity of the booking. If it cannot be verified, the booking will be automatically canceled. 
  • It is necessary to arrive 15 minutes early to the meeting point. 
  • The option for groups of more than 6 people requires prior payment.
  • If you are unable to attend, please inform us so that the guide does not wait for you.
