MORE THAN 1.280 TOURS AND MORE THAN 600 REVIEWS WITH 99, 9 % RATED WITH 5 STARS ! BEST IN ANDALUCIA THANKS YOUR CONFIDENCE ! AUTHENTIC NATIVE (Sevillano). I consider ESSENTIAL being native in this Job because I have not only the knowledge because of my academic training, the several exams I must pass to get the licence as Official tour Guide , a constant updating , but also the LOVE to the city where I was born and live my whole life , where my relatives live, where in resume thousands of local histories live in my mind. SKIP THE LINES WITH ME. If you want to do an agile tour, don't wait long lines. Obviously, I can't write here every detail of the content of a rich tour like the ones I offer you as you must take into account that you're going to be with a LICENSED OFFICIAL TOUR GUIDE who must pass 4 exams and speak at least 3 languages. Being native, I've been living in my city during the last 50 years (I'm 51 yo) and you can imagine my knowledge of the area. So, together the history, traditions, etc, I will show the hidden places, tapas bars designed for locals (cheap and good), places to find the real hand painted tiles (even you have the possibility to see how they paint now using ancient techniques (those you will enjoy inside our monuments, etc, etc, etc . Let me surprise you ! If you don't find what you want to visit in my tours and excursions (for example Tangier, Gibraltar, etc) , pls ask me about it, as Seville offers one of the most important monumental heritages on earth, temporary exhibitions, new museums, Convents, local artists workshops, flamenco lessons, Cooking Classes, ANDALUSIAN wine tastings, horse rides tours in the countryside, industrial tourism (solar pannel plants, wind mills, olive mills, )etc, etc. I would suggest you to ask for availability as sometimes monuments change their schedules because of temporary special events or even I can also change/move my existing bookings. 100% SUCCESSFUL TAKE CARE AND KEEP EXPLORING THE WORLD !

Alvaro was knowledgeable and took the time to understand what we wanted, then worked with us to build a day we absolutely loved. He shared plenty of local recommendations for food and hidden spots we'd never have found on our own. Warm, generous, and passionate about Seville. Highly recommended! GO BETIS!

We loved Alvaro. He was so knowledgeable and all of the history he told us was fascinating. Really enjoyed spending time with him in his beautiful city and highly recommend him for tours.

Wow, our guide was so knowledgeable and informative. We felt like we learned so much about Seville, Andalusia, and Spanish history. Our tours provided so much insight into the history of the Moors and Christiany. If you want to learn, this is the guide for you.

My wife and myself had this private walking tour of old Seville with Alvaro. He took time before we started to cover some of the history of Seville with us that helped us better understand everything else we were able to see with him. He was so personable and enjoyable in sharing his knowledge and passion of his culture with us. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

My wife and I had a wonderful tour of Seville with Alvaro, focusing on the monuments in the old town area. We met Alvaro at our hotel and he used a map to give an overview of the old town and Sevilla. He discussed the history of Seville and its importance in the world. We started our walk through old town and headed to the Alcázar. This is an amazing monument. Alvaro shared the history, the Islamic roots, the significance of the Islamic design, etc. we next headed to the Cathedral and Alvaro discussed its origin as a mosque, including the minaret (bell tower). The discussion of the conversion of the mosque to a cathedral was fascinating. We saw Christopher Columbus tomb, as well as his son. We headed down to the river, passing the tobacco factory (now part of the University) and to the river to see a replica of one of the boats in the fleet that first circumnavigated the world. Throughout the tour Alvaro shared information about Sevilla, Spain and the world. As a native Sevillan, Alvaro’s comments about his own history in Sevilla were fascinating. I would definitely recommend Alvaro as a guide for any Sevilla tour.

We had a VERY thorough history lesson and tour from Alvaro. I felt bad for him because we were kind of dragging on the tour due to the hour we had to get up. We ended up cutting the tour a bit short as we were so tired we didn’t want to make the 30 minute walk back to the hotel. However, he knows his stuff so if you want to know the background of Sevilla he is your man.
