It was a nice cruise, but when the guide started to tell us about the buildings and history etc, the speaker was so bad that we understood nothing (in Spanish or English - so it wasn't a languages barrier). The sound of the speaker was overrun by the engine of the boat. Also, the cruise itself took just over 40 minutes and not 1 hour as advertised. Instead of charging €15 per person, this should be priced at €8 at most!
Staff were polite and welcoming.

Very relaxing river ride. Sound system was poor and could not hear the history. Food was good. Very chill experience.
Sheridan_M, Jul 2026
Very basic river cruise with a small amount of commentary. Filled a gap in our day but wouldn't hurry to recommend to others
LEYLA_B, Jul 2026
The information about the sights was hardly audible. Boarding and disembarking was pretty smooth. Would be nice to make the experience more informative

The address for tour is not accurate. Uber driver and Apple Maps could not locate it. Tried to message Viator for directions but got NO response. Called. Rep did not speak English and had loud music on. No help. DO NOT book. I am a regular Viator customer
Deborah_S, Jul 2026
It’s a lovely way to see the city from a river perspective. Delicious Iberico ham and Manchego cheese appetizer and complementary beverage, then a cash bar for additional beverages.
Get there early to find a spot of shade on the upper deck. It does get very hot on the inside deck.
We had two tour guides: one spoke in Spanish and the other in English. It was her first day on the job and she is still learning English language so we had some difficulty understanding her. But overall, good effort!

They changed the time of my reservation from 5:30 to 6:15 via WhatsApp. I answered and confirmed that was ok and then went on to change my dinner reservations and rearrange my other plans for the day to be accommodating.
The day of they reached out to me that I never confirmed the new time but I have the WhatsApp conversation to show I did and they were being a bit strange about the whole thing.
About 2 hours after that, I was getting ready to go and they cancelled on me. This was less than an hour before the tour, I was about to leave the hotel to go there.
This was after I had already rearranged my plans for the evening so I then had to scramble to find something to do in that time. It was really inconvenient and the whole thing felt unprofessional.

A large portion of the tour is a industrial area and there is very little of interest The ship is adequate
yialfonso, Jul 2026
No explanation on surrounding areas or history! However the staff is friendly, and will bring drinks.
Gareth_W, Jul 2026
I booked an English speaking cruise but it was bilingual, 60% Spanish 40% English. As not as much was covered in English by the time it was the sight was well in the distance and some not even mentioned.
Cruise was shortened due to a river event so to fill the time did the same stretch 3 times! So unlike other reviews was 1.5 hours as advertised.
Staff were lovely
Beauty_C, Jun 2026
Lovely friendly staff 👌
Rachel and all crew, thank you so much for such a lovely boat river cruise.
History was on point during the cruise 🛳
All experience was superb on a Lovely sunny afternoon with lovely music, drinks 🍸 of choice and tapas.
Would recommend to anyone to try this fantastic river cruise
Katy_H, Jun 2026
9 of us walked down to departure point to find no boat. We waited and then got a call 10 mins after departure time saying trip was cancelled as boat was broken down and they'd rebook us on the evening cruise, we already had plans for the evening so were left very disappointed. I feel they should of called earlier as they would of known before this that the boat wasnt working.
Elizabeth_D, Jun 2026
Unreliable, boat was cancelled late without warning, after long walk to boat station in heat ,other boats were operating.
Nick_T, Jun 2026
I would have given zero stars but there was no option for it. They cancelled the activity and did bother to contact us. We got to the pick up point and had to call them to find out the boat was not coming due to a problem with the battery. They said that they had tried to contact me but that’s a lie because I booked with Apple Pay so that have everything they need to get in touch. We walked down the river and found another boat which was fantastic. Will never use them again.

It’s an hour cruising on a canal not the Guadalquivir River. Nothing worthwhile seeing or even commenting on. Don’t waste your time!
Michael_G, Jun 2026
There were no tapas and the drinks are not included. It was still very enjoyable even thought it was very hot.
Lisa_S, Jun 2026
Dull trip lazy food most of the trip you spend going past derelict docks and huge slag heaps. It was that bad it was funny
kristina_g, Jun 2026
Very impressed with the tour guide who could speak 3 to 4 different languages, and make sure all the guests were accommodated. All of the staff on board were extremely gracious and made us feel welcome. Would recommend anyone coming to Seville!
jllwgolfer, Jun 2026
It was an hour boat ride, the 6:15 ride is very hot. One side of boat is in the sun. Staff was friendly.
Susan_S, Jun 2026
It was cancelled around midday due to engine problems so can’t comment. I understand these things happen but could only offer the same time the following day and couldn’t change the time. We had bookings elsewhere
Sonya_V, Jun 2026
It was less crowded than the other boat tours which was definitely ideal. It was overall an extremely enjoyable experience!
Katharine_P, Jun 2026
A lovely evening on the river. Boat was clean and comfortable and crew very welcoming. The included drink and snack were great. There was plenty of space to move around and view sights.
Philip_J, Jun 2026
The tour was well organised. The staff were very friendly and the food and drink were served with a smile in an efficient manner.
The only slightly negative was that the commentary was heard to hear .
Damien_M, Jun 2026
It is a very nice trip. Not excellent, but very nice. Worth the money but not a “must do”. Staff were friendly.
Charlotte_M, Jun 2026
Awesome,very relaxing ,cold beer ..Great staff..It’s definitely hot in Seville,great place to cool down and relax
Judith_P, Jun 2026
Simple no frills river cruise. Good quality for price. Limited commentary but that suited us. Easy and pleasant way to see Sevilla from the river
Estela_N, Jun 2026
First half of tour was great with various historical building view. However, the other half was disappointing as it was view of nothing but industrial shipping containers. Working crews were friendly and efficient though.
Hana_S, May 2026
The ride on the boat is around 1 hour and 30 minutes, you can get snacks and a drink, the staff tells you about the monuments that you see (in multiple languages) but also gives you time to just enjoy the view! :)
Kathleen_K, May 2026
It was relaxing and we got to see Sevilla from a different perspective. I expected to learn more about what we were seeing but it was difficult to hear. That was disappointing you couldn’t ask questions. I guess a private small group tour was really what I was looking for.
Terri_B, May 2026
We went with 3 couples, and all of us were very disappointed. Basically, an hour up and down the river. Very little narrative. That being said, the crew was very nice and extremely hard working. We might have had a different experience if we had gotten on the top deck. We arrived 25 minutes early, and it was full already
Response from Host, May 2026
Terri, I'm so sorry you were disappointed. Basically, what we offer is an hour and a half guided cruise with an appetizer of Iberian ham, aged Manchego cheese, and a drink of your choice (the only ones on the river). The experience doesn't depend on where you go on the boat, but on your attitude and how much you enjoy it. I can't tell you more than that!
