Discover the Royal Alcazar of Seville, declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. You will be amazed by its magnificience and magniture.
You will also recognize some spots, because of the shooting of the famous series “Game of Thrones”.
The origin of the Real Alcazar of Seville dates from the time of the High Middle Ages, although some areas of Islamic art that impress with its delicacy are preserved. In any case, Mudejar art and Gothic style predominate, but Renaissance and Baroque elements were added later.
Over the centuries, it has been the residence of the members of the Spanish Royal Family in Seville. Even today, it remains for the exclusive use of royalty, except for tourist visits.
This complex includes many wonderful features. The quaintest is the Patio de las Doncellas, with its ponds that reflect the intricate mudéjar plasterwork for which this palace is known for.
Go on this guided tour with skip-the-line access and get amazed by its beauty and complexity!

Our guide, Emilio, was at least 30 minutes late. He wasn’t going to skip the line until a few of us told him that’s what we paid for. He spent too much time just inside the entrance quizzing people who had been on his tour of the cathedral and the rest of us didn’t know what he was taking about. A few people left the tour to walk through Alcazar on their own. He referred to spaces where scenes of Game of Thrones were filmed, which I didn’t mind, but a few times he went off somewhere with a couple of people who were big fans of the show and left the rest of us waiting. But then he also said there wasn’t enough time for us to see some things on the site. We went over time on the tour and at least one person left quite upset. Emilio’s enthusiasm was appreciated, but he should be more focused and manage the time better. While learning about the architecture and its history was interesting, my friend and I would have liked to also hear more about who lived at Alcazar and when. Perhaps a separate tour of the Game of Thrones spaces and story could be provided for those interested.

Paid for a guide and skip the line ticket. The lady who was on general line made us go to back of line and take our turn! She insisted we needed to show our passports - when we got to front she opened a barrier and we all stood together. We did not show our passports even though she said we had to as an English group! She was most unpleasant. It was a big group not a small group as indicated when I bought the tickets in advance. The place was good if you like history and gardens lovely but the cafe was really overpriced. Take your own water. We were stood waiting to enter so long everyone ran out of water. Many people left the group as far too many of us and guide took so long to explain things. I would not recommend if you are elderly or have small children.

This was a complete waste of our time and money. Our guide was Emilio, and he was by far the worst guide we have ever had.
The tour started 30 minutes late. We had to point out to Emilio that we were supposed to get the skip-the-line tickets; he let us wait in the standard line until then.
The amount of real information on Alcazar we got from Emilio was appalling. He talked more about Game of Thrones than about the building itself. Emilio even left the group a couple of times to show the Game of Thrones locations that no one was really interested in (just 2 out of maybe 20 people).
Emilio even managed to lose half of our group; they just left, bored to death. We managed to stay only because we wanted to see the end. I would never recommend Emilio as a guide for a historic building.
Emilio's English is also not the best, and he misses crucial vocabulary.
As for the tour company, after I complained, they sent me a bunch of lies about offensive language (there was none, since half of the group left, and the remaining people were just astonished by the guide's unprofessionalism) and supposed congratulations to the guide after the tour (we just handed him the electronics and left without a word).

Information given during the tour was minimal. I would have like more history and a critical review of Columbus and Spains colonial past/present. It was a quick visit.

Great guide person. Yoanna was knowledgeable and approachable guide. She took time to include everyone in the group. I do greatly appreciate her and definitely refer your company to friends and families.

The tour guide Johanna was lovely, but our party of three didn't feel the tour was good value. It is advertised as 'skip the line', but we queued at the gate as other reviewers have stated. Johanna explained the security staff keep changing the rules for 'skip the line', but if that's the case, then it is best not advertise it as such.
The earpiece provided wasn't great (they rarely are) and although I forget exact timings, it certainly didn't feel like we got a 1 hour 30 minutes tour. We didn't get any tour of the gardens (we were just pointed in that direction at the end of the tour if interested).
On balance, we wish we had just made our own arrangements with an audio guide

Naturanda should be more flexible to customers with mobility issues. They insisted that the tour should start from their office which was quite a far walking distance from the Alcazar gate. They explained that it would be very difficult otherwise because tourists can miss their guide due to crowds lining up outside. But this was not the case, there was hardly anyone outside and our group still had to wait standing there in the hard sun not able to move anywhere. By the time we were able to enter, the senior members of our group were already very hot and exhausted before the tour even began. We should have simply taken a cab to the Alcazar gate and all this could have been avoided.
Ismael was our tour guide and he really didn't have his history facts right on a few counts. We decided to not keep listening to bogus facts, dropped out from the tour and continued on our own.
