- D3988MMjulies0 contributionsGreat Private Tour - casual & informativeSofia was great! She didn’t rush us or have a set script. Sofia was open to questions about the palace and general culture of Seville. Wonderful tour!Written September 21, 2024
- angus6950 contributionsExceptional Private Tour of Seville with Sofia - Highly Recommend!We had an amazing experience on the private tour of Seville's Alcázar and Cathedral with Sofia. From the moment we met her, we felt welcomed by her warm personality and friendly demeanor. Sofia is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of these iconic sites, and she shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. The pace of the tour was perfect—well-balanced and tailored to our group’s needs. We never felt rushed, and every moment was thoughtfully planned. Sofia was attentive to the unique requirements of our group, particularly my mum, who has poor sight. She made sure to point out important details and navigated the tour in a way that was accessible and enjoyable for everyone. The interactive nature of the tour made the experience even more engaging, and Sofia’s willingness to take photos for us added a special touch to the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable experience in Seville. We highly recommend Sofia to anyone visiting the city—this tour was a highlight of our trip!Written September 2, 2024
- Paradise6232140 contributionsA morning at the Cathedral and the AlcazarSofia was fantastic! Knowledgeable and kind and she tailored the tour to help keep our 13 year old engaged. She was so easy to work with and even brought us a special snack :)Written August 30, 2024
- nickih3680 contributionsExcellent tourSofia was great! On time, knowledgeable, thorough - let us have time for photos, even graciously took photos of us, answered all our questions. She has been doing this for years so she knows all the secrets. Definitely saw things we wouldn’t have if we were alone. Including this fountain that plays music every hour in the gardens!! and she brought us a gift! These Seville cookies. So yummy and kind! Definitely recommend!Written August 18, 2024
- briannapetro0 contributionsTour of Alcazar and Cathedral with SofiaSofia is a wonderful guide! Truly passionate about sharing all of her knowledge and gave us other tips and recommendations in and around Seville. Will absolutely book with her in the futureWritten August 18, 2024
- Rene J0 contributionsFamily-friendly tourWe had a great experience with Sofia as our tour guide. She managed to customize a tour of both the Alcazar and Cathedral so that we could see as much as possible, learn the important points, and ask all the questions we wanted - all while managing our group of 6 (with a 1.5 year old and a senior) and never rushing us. Sofia was fluent in English and Spanish (and I believe she also speaks Portuguese), accommodating and very friendly. I would definitely recommend her tours!Written August 10, 2024
- tombZ7682RG0 contributionsAmazing tour guide in Sevilla -- especially great for families with young childrenSofia is everything you could hope for in a tour guide -- kind, patient, well-informed and above and beyond helpful. She was the guide for my family -- my wife and I, our two girls (ages 5 and 2) and my in-laws -- at the Alcazar and Cathedral. Sofia would be fantastic for anyone hoping to visit these sites, but she was particularly outstanding for a group with small children. She made sure our girls were engaged in learning about the sites. She was patient when they were shy or grumpy. And she took the time to talk to them about her own kids (discovering a shared love of Bluey). It made all the difference for both the kids and adults. Sofia also gave recommendations for other activities in Sevilla and just generally was great to spend time with. My family and I would highly recommend!Written July 9, 2024
- Nikhil_HK0 contributionsSofia is excellent!Sofia was an excellent guide! She made our visit to the Cathedral and the Real Alcazar more enriching and enjoyable by sharing the history of the place and interesting stories with us. Sofia also helped us out by recommending a fantastic Flamenco recital, and also some cool bars and restaurants. Thank you so much, Sofia! :-)Written June 26, 2024

Sophia is an incredible tour guide and surpassed all of our (already high) expectations!! I bought the private tour for my mother for her birthday. Before the tour, Sophia made herself available via WhatsApp to provide general advice about Seville, what to do, what to see, where to shop, etc. She had already impressed us before even meeting her.
Sophia showed up early to our hotel the day of the tour and is a delight in person. Very affable, funny, and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions comprehensively, and also made the tour interactive and more memorable by also asking us questions. She made an effort to get to know us individually.
The tour of Alcazar was incredible and we could not have not imagined touring it without such an experienced guide. She pointed out many unusual aspects of the the Alcazar, knew all about its history, which is complex. On top of all that, Sophia is also a great photographer!!
Once the tour was finished, Sophia even gave my mother a birthday gift, demonstrating her thoughtfulness and preparation for each individual tour. My mom left the tour feeling as though Sophia was her friend. I would give her 6 stars if I could!

Wow, thank you so much for such kind words! The best part of my job is meeting awesome people, who make me feel like I am guiding a friend. I really didn't feel like I was working, your mom was delightful! It was a pleasure to guide you around, and to help make her birthday trip a memorable event!
