Hi there! My name is Juan. I am a licensed official guide in Andalusia, but also I am an art historian: I love historical cities, the evolution of urban life, the ways in which people have understood and inhabited cities. From my professional position as a tour guide, I consider myself fortunate to be able to bring tourists and / or residents to the local culture through the communication of their history and art. I think that in conversation with visitors, a debate is generated around the culture that contributes to making our daily environment a place not only more enjoyable, but also happier. There is also something extra, which is not required for the license: I teach Spanish as a foreign language, so I am used to speaking in a didactic way in the tours. In this sense, I worry about adapting the contents of the visit to the expectations of the travelers, leaving room and time for addressing their interests. And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote. licensed official guide in Andalusia I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. I offer tours only in the languages I refer to in my profile.

The museum is located in the old monastery of the Our Lady of Mercy, with a very colorful baroque architecture. Guided visit by an art historian to the third largest painting collection in Spain, we will visit works of art spanning a period of about 500 years, from the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern, when an important local school begins to form at the time in Seville while the city in confirmed as one of the most important in Europe, when it was called "Gate of the Indies", until the stunning painting of the Romanticism and early 20th century. Discover who was the artist who broke Michelangelo's nose and made important sculptures in Seville, enjoy important works by Spanish masters from the so-called Golden Age of Sevillian painting during the 17th century, such as Zurbarán, Velázquez, Murillo or Valdés Leal and find out the "postcard paintings" of the Romantics and some final surprises. Do not miss this visit with a real expert!
Juan was a first rate guide. Knowledgeable, passionate about his subject and engaging throughout the tour. We learned so much about the cultural, social, religious and economic history of Seville through the amazing artwork in our two hours. We were sorry to reach the end! Thank you Juan. We cannot recommend you highly enough. Ronan.
Juan speaks perfect English and his knowledge and enthusiasm for his subject were infectious. His tour was designed to take us through the history of Sevilla through the paintings. He more than achieved his aim. The paintings are beautiful as is the building that contains them. A great tour!!
Juan Alberto is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide to the history of art in Seville. He showed us many subtle features of the paintings on view in the museum which we would not have noticed on our own. In addition, he clearly explained the different styles of painting on view. This tour is strongly recommended.
Juan was an excellent guide. He explained much of the history of Seville through the chosen art pieces. He was very knowledgeable about art and history and happy to answer questions about both- not only as it relates to Seville, but also the world. We enjoyed our time with Juan. He's charming and the tour was fun!
If you are an art lover, you will love this tour with Juan Alberto! We love art but are not connoisseurs. Juan helped us appreciate more the things we like. In two hours he showed us the highlights of the museum in chronological order, and even some. We enjoyed it immensely.
On this tour we will: -Meet in the Museum Square and enter the building to visit its ground floor. *See the evolution from the medieval works around the Cathedral, until the arrival of the Renaissance. *Visit the work of 17th century masters, highlighting Murillo's possibly best pictorial set, the one made for the main altarpiece and the side chapels of the Capuchin Convent in Seville, located here following the original layout. -Go up to the second floor by the monumental staircase to visit other Baroque masters such as Zurbarán or Valdés Leal. *Visit the rooms dedicated to the 19th and early 20th centuries, when religious themes lose their preminence while other genres such as portrait, landscape or the customary theme are consolidated. If you want to visit a specific section of the museum or spend more time in a specific artist, do not worry: the guide is flexible and adapts to the interests of the traveler
