Although there are different ways of exploring a city, for example with a guidebook or audio guide, with a friend who already knows Seville or simply by wandering around, we believe there is no better way to explore Seville than with a tour guide.
But not just any guide, not an umbrella-waver with 50 people, nor with someone who doesn’t speak your language well,
who just wants to take you to tourist spots to earn a commission.seville5.com specialises in providing an authentic, enlightening and fun experience through guiding companies and individuals who know what this art is really about.
Do you want to find the tapas bar where the locals eat and where the menus are only in Spanish?
Would you like to see real flamenco?
Do you want to visit the main sites but find the hidden secrets as well?
Would you like to learn about the culture?
If so, please contact us and let us tell you more.
We had no problem making our way through the city center streets to see the major monuments and sites.
But some of the best riding can be found along the river and in the parks.
After a day on foot in the city renting a bike is a good way to see the outlying sights and some nature.
One afternoon could be spent seeing the Parque Maria Luisa and Avenida de la Palmera to see the many buildings of the 1929 Ibero-American Expo.
With additional time the Murillo and Buhaira Gardens, the former royal orchard, are pleasant stops.
Another afternoon or morning could include the Guadalquivir River, the grounds of the ’92 Expo and Parque Alamillo,
a large open park which will soon grow larger with expansion planned in the coming year.
Choosing a bicycle as your form of transportation allows you to see more of the city and take in some sights you might miss were you on foot.
After seeing some of the monuments from afar you can then decide which ones interest you most and are worth a return visit.
Some sights are convenient enough that you can get off the bus at one of the stops and hop back on about 30 minutes later.
Others use them to earn their living: Behind the Cathedral, in the Plaza del Triunfo, you can find many of them waiting in a line, much like a taxi stand.
For 30 Euros you can do a 40 min tour to Maria Luisa Park and back. A group of 4 people will fit in the carriage comfortably.
Some basic information on the monuments seen during the tour will be given:
The drivers have to pass a basic tour guide exam before receiving the authorization to transport tourists.
Of course don't expect to hear the speech of a history professor, but expect some local color in your experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
