FEEL, EXPERIENCE SEVILLE LIKE A NATIVE! Hello! I am Carmen from Seville. Ring a bell? But now I'm a guide, and perhaps not just any other guide, or what do you think?. Yes, I used to roll cigars, remember? But those days are gone and now I will not even dare have your eyes roll, but just to admire and gaze at the full beauty of my Seville, the city where I was born, the city I love and I will make you love too. The old tobacco Factory? Funny, I never left it, since it was then turned into a University, and there I ended up taking my BA in English language. And true to my gypsy roots, I also travelled the world a bit and even lived in England for five years And back to my city, I have to say that it is not just the home of the world's largest Gothic cathedral or of one of the most exquisite arabesque palaces in Western Europe, but it is also the city of Carmen: full of life, energy, passion, exoticism and light. The light I would like to use to colour your experience of Seville, with interesting anecdotes, lots of humor, wit and good conversation. Conventional tours are not my style. In the past as we strolled along the Guadalquivir River: "Oh Merimé, how sweet of you to hum those seguidillas for me. Such beautiful music!" But what about the "manzanillas"? You will now ask -in the present. Oh! those I would like to drink with you my dear guest". Leave Carmen to guide you at her pace and her own way! I have been working as a guide for twenty years and after that accumulated experience, I have realized that the secret of my success is enjoying my tours. I am not a conventional guide and therefore neither are my tours. To discover Seville doesn't have to mean running from monument to monument cramming your head with facts, but to be able to enjoy the full experience of it, since the city opens to a whole diversity of activities. Besides, same as the rest of my colleagues, I can also guarantee: Skipping the lines A full licensed guide Tons of experience Trust me! You shouldn't miss my tour.

Overview of your Seville tour

My Seville. Steeped in history! And in colour! Plaza de España in front of you, like an embracing rainbow, the very same porticoes which welcomed Peter O' Toole as Lawrence; the British Headquarters in Cairo? No. My Seville is wealthy in wide open spaces as well as in broad pedestrian streets flanked by the most colourful state and private buildings. I will take you to the old TOBACCO FACTORY, today university, setting of the famous Opera Carmen, graceful fountains and impressive monuments we admire on our way, streets full of light. And do enjoy the sun because from here we shall enter the ancient Moorish and Jewish quarters, travelling in time into the Middle Ages; a maze of narrow whitewashed streets where the sun is kept at bay, but most cheerful in their flowered patios, carnations hanging from wrought iron balconies and beautiful tilewortk in the facades and entrance halls. Alleyways leading to cosy, peaceful orange-treed squares. Are we in the middle of a small quiet village?, but suddenly bending.

I had a wonderful experience on the Sevilla Highlights Half Day Private Guided Tour with Carmen. As a solo traveler, I was looking for a tour that would help me get oriented to the city while also providing deeper insight into Seville’s history and culture, and this tour exceeded my expectations. Carmen was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. She shared fascinating stories and historical details that brought Seville’s landmarks to life, while also making the experience feel relaxed and personal. I never felt rushed, and she was happy to answer questions and tailor the conversation to my interests. The tour provided an excellent introduction to Seville’s most iconic sites, and Carmen’s local recommendations were invaluable for the rest of my stay. What stood out most was her genuine passion for the city and her ability to make the experience feel like exploring Seville with a knowledgeable local friend. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seville, especially solo travelers who want a personalized and memorable introduction to this beautiful city.

Carmen was an absolutely wonderful guide and host during our time in Seville. She led us through so many beautiful and historic parts of the city, including the old tobacco factory, Plaza de España, and El Alcázar, all while sharing fascinating stories and insights along the way. Her knowledge of Seville was impressive, but what truly made the experience special was her warm and relaxed demeanor, which was a perfect fit for my wife and me. You could immediately tell how much she loves her city and genuinely enjoys sharing it with others through her work. We left not only with a deeper appreciation for Seville’s history and beauty, but also with very fond memories thanks to Carmen’s gracious hospitality. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience in Seville.

Carmen was an excellent guide. Before and during the she helped us figure out what we were going to do. We had a rough idea and she helped narrow it done. Her knowledge of the area (and historical knowledge) was first rate. We would definitely engage Carmen again.

Carmen was an ideal guide! As a Sevilla native she adores her city and knows its secrets, and she shared some of them as we toured. She is extremely knowledgeable and offered background stories that enhanced our experience…stories that might not be found online or in books. She was very good at pacing the tour according to our interests and energy. And she is a delightful person to meet and we felt lucky to have her as our guide.

We had a fantastic tour with Carmen. She was able to fill our afternoon walking route with knowledgeable stories from the past and present. She adapted the program to what we were interested in. It was such a pleasure to meet her.
