Tour A: Alcazar Tour
This incredible historical site is a must when travelling
to Seville. Constructed on Moorish ruins in 1364, the modern version
was built for King Pedro the Cruel of Castile. The King made sure
his artisans reproduced the Islamic feel by incorporating the
Mudejar architectural style which gives it a distinctly Islamic
feel. Mudejar was developed as a discipline of architecture during
Christian rule of Spain. This beautifully preserved building won’t
fail to captivate you back to ancient times with its beautiful
gardens and palace grounds.
Tour
B: Cathedral Tour
With its dominating Baroque and Gothic styling, the largest
Roman Catholic Cathedral in the world and its famous bell tower
the Giralda, won’t fail to capture your imagination. Taking over
200 years to complete, it stands on the former site of the Almohad
Mosque. It also houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus. If you’re
impressed with the architecture from the outside, you will be
equally moved once you venture inside.

With an official, local, experienced guide you will gain
a unique insight into the historical monuments and buildings of
