A quick visit to the Alcázar doesn’t do it justice. There’s so much more to explore—like the winding streets of Seville’s historic Jewish Quarter, right nearby. With your local host by your side, you’ll dive deep into the Alcázar’s palaces and gardens and take in the charm and stories of the surrounding area. This is the perfect way to experience two of Seville’s most iconic and meaningful places, all in one unforgettable tour.
"Alba was a wonderful guide on our tour of the Jewish quarter and Alcázar palace. Her knowledge and passion for the history of Spain and Sevilla enhanced our experience. She spoke very clear English and had a keen sense of humor. We liked the way she explained history in a “story” which was easy to understand. Our morning with Alba was a memorable, educational experience. Highly recommend Alba!!!

"Wow. Just… wow. If you’re heading to Seville and want more than just a walk through the Alcazar—book this tour. Trust me, it’s not your average sightseeing stroll. This was an all-out, immersive experience, led by none other than Laura, a brilliant doctoral candidate in Andalusian history. And let me tell you—Laura is the real deal.
From the first minute, she pulled us into the story of Seville with the energy of a blockbuster opening scene. We explored the winding lanes of the historic Jewish Quarter, where the walls whispered centuries of layered culture and resilience. Laura painted the past with such vivid detail, it felt like we had stepped into a different time.
Then came the the Alcazar. This place is stunning on its own, sure, but with Laura as your guide? It’s on another level. She unpacked every arch, garden, and tile with insight and emotion. Islamic art, royal intrigue, layers of power and politics—she wove it all together effortlessly, and we hung on every word. It was cinematic. It was epic.
And finally— Seville Cathedral—a towering marvel. Laura didn’t just point out facts, she revealed secrets. She explained the symbolism, the stories behind the architecture, and how the cathedral connects to the city’s complex history. And just when we thought the tour had already peaked, she took us to the Archivo General de Indias and the Torre Giralda, slipping in stories about explorers, empires, and hidden chapters of Andalusia.
Laura’s storytelling, her passion, her kindness—it all made this tour unforgettable. And the best part? She tailored everything to our pace and questions, making the experience feel deeply personal.
This wasn’t just a history tour. This was a full-throttle cultural mission. Seville came alive, and we left feeling inspired, connected, and hungry for more. If you want the real Seville—the heart, the history, the hidden gems—do not miss this tour.
Mission accomplished, Laura. Thank you."

Alcazar+Alba=ideal
"Alba picked us up at the hotel and guided us along the Jewish quarter to the Alcazar. We spent the rest of the morning discovering the palace and its garden under her expert lead. And we will cherish the polaroid picture she took from us - such an original and touching gesture! Muchas grácias, Alba!"
"Alba led our group of 6 on a half-day "kick-starter" tour of Sevilla and on the second day a tour of Alcazar. Alba was responsive to all our inquiries before we booked our tours which convinced us to go with her. We were not disappointed. Alba's knowledge of the history of Andalucia and the impact of Spain on the modern world today made for an engaging and educational tour. She somehow wove stories about the various rulers, the mix of cultures and religions, the construction of the Alcazar, the financing of expeditions to the New World that made for fascinating tours and kept us spellbound. In addition to Alba's deep knowledge of Andalucia, she is personable and fun to be with. We cannot recommend Alba more highly!"
"Alba was absolutely fantastic as a tour guide! She personalized our tour to better meet our interests and kept this in mind as took us around (she even noted my grandma’s fear of birds and helped chase them away)! She is super knowledgeable and is able to share the information in a beautiful way that builds on itself without being overwhelming. She had sources to show us and extra visuals to help us understand as we went through. I can’t recommend her enough!"
"Laura is such a great guide and for our rainy day in Seville was prepared with alternate indoor activities. As a professor of history at a local university she has all the best stories about colorful characters, explorers, kings and queens of the past. She also made sure we saw the hidden gems of all the sites. To top it all off she has an exuberant, fun personality. I highly recommend Laura!"
"Laura's passion and enthusiasm for the Alcazar made our introduction to this amazing place very special. Our tour was not just informative, Laura gave us a real feeling for the history and meaning of the Alcazar and its significance in world history. Highly recommended!"
"Laura gave us such a fascinating experience. Her knowledge of the Alcazar was more than just historical, it was from her own experience growing up in the area and visiting as a young person. She was also a lot of fun and gave us honest opinions. The secret parts of the buildings and gardens were fantastic."

Best experience in Sevilla
"We did the walking tour of the Alcazar and sourrounding with Alba and it was amazing. Alba waited for us with a smile in the placa in fronte of the Alcazar and we went right in (we went at 10.00). From the moment we walked in, we were amazed by the architecture but most of all by the history and anecdotes that Alba told us! She was very knowledgeable, funny and nice and it was a pleasure listening to her. After the Alcazar we went to the Jewish quarter and after some more amazing stories and tips we finished the tour.
I can’t recommend Alba enough, book her and you will have the best insights of Sevilla! "
