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.

Not worth it

Ghewa_G, Aug 2026

Definitely not worth the money. First of all, there wasn't much to see. Second the server was also the tour guide and her English was terrible, combined with a bad speaker, none of the English translations could be understood. Finally, their tapas consisted of only a platter of cheese and Ham. All in all, do NOT recommend.

Not as expected

Stephanie_S, Aug 2026

Very limited commentary and difficult to understand. Vegetarian option is just cheese. Nice boat ride but limited information. Didn't learn anything.

Ann_D, Aug 2026

All undercover seating, no opportunity to sit in the sun! Only a few seats facing forward, majority sideways so a third of passengers facing in towards the boat.

Nice relaxing boat trip!

MaryBeth_B, Aug 2026

Beautiful evening watching the sunset in beautiful Sevilla. Boat trip was relaxing and interesting. I recommend

Nice scenery, but sick after their food and not smiling host

Veronica_D, Aug 2026

The host (man) was nice, but his wife didn’t allow us to sit together on the boat and she didn’t smile. Also, the food that was served got 7 of my friends sick and having diarrhea after eating their ham and cheese they gave us. It might have been old. Nice scenery otherwise

River cruise

David_B, Aug 2026

Lovely jaunt down and back on the river. Drink and a little snack. They tell you a bit of history and sights to see. It was our guides 1st day. She did well.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

First of all, thank you for sailing with us. I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience and I appreciate your kind words of support for the guide, who was a little nervous on her first day. Your words surely cheered her up. Best regards.

Underwhelmed by this tour

Elliot_H, Aug 2026

We should have read the reviews first before we booked. The narrator came on towards the end and the speaker is terrible and it is impossible to understand. Probably better to find another tour company.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

First of all, thank you for sailing with us. The tour is a round trip; on the way there, we let you enjoy the views at your leisure, and then we begin the explanations as we return. Saying it's at the last minute isn't true; no one complains about our sailor's pleasant voice.

Enjoyable boat trip.

June_F, Aug 2026

Enjoyed the boat trip. Very nice views.The food and wine was a nice touch. Very hard to hear English speaking guide.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

First of all, thank you for sailing with us and for enjoying our snacks and drinks. Best regards

Book with another company

Sandra_B, Aug 2026

There are better river boat cruises out there, this is not one of them. They do provide a river cruise, a drink and a small tapas plate as advertised, but the entire experience was unpleasant. I was on a 8pm cruise, still too hot to take a cruise in the summer with the evening sun baring down on us. The boat seemed to travel at the same speed as the breeze so you felt no relief and were sweltering. Only in the last half of the cruise did someone come on and try to explain the sites in both English and Spanish, but you could not hear what the person was saying. We passed several boats who's passengers seemed to be having a better time than us. This was a disappointment.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

First of all, thank you for traveling with us. Regarding the heat, you were in Seville in August. As you can understand, we are not to blame for the heat. We cruised at 4 knots, which is the permitted speed on the river. What you call a small tapa was actually Jabugo Iberian ham, considered by experts to be the best in the world, and aged Manchego cheese with Protected Designation of Origin. The drink was the one you chose. The tour offered by all companies is a round trip. On the outbound journey, we serve the drink and the tapa and let you enjoy the views. On the return journey, we go up to the terrace, and I give the explanations in Spanish, while the guide speaks in English. I don't know why you say you didn't understand them. Best regards.

Fun Time

Avrie_H, Aug 2026

I really enjoyed the boat ride. I booked the 1.5hr ride with snacks. I saw some reviews saying the boat ride was mainly through industrial area. There were some places that were industrial, but I felt the majority of the ride was really pretty and almost the entire river is lined with greenery. The ride was approximately 1.5hr. The tour came with a plate of ham (I think) and cheese to split with one other person and one drink. My My biggest complaint is that I could not understand the audio at all when the guide was explaining what we were passing, but I did enjoy just taking in the scenery.

A really relaxing (and...

Peter_C, Aug 2026

A really relaxing (and cool) one-hour trip on the river in the heat of the afternoon. Much appreciated. Drinks available throughout at very reasonable cost.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for sailing with us. We're happy to hear that you found it relaxing, even in the Seville heat. Greetings from the entire crew.

Bad speakers, poor experience

Magda_R, Jul 2026

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.

Relaxing cruise.

stuart_m, Jul 2026

Very relaxing river ride. Sound system was poor and could not hear the history. Food was good. Very chill experience.

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

Do Not Book

Susan_F, Jul 2026

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

Fun river cruise for different city perspective

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!

Cancelled on me last minute

Nina_R, Jul 2026

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.

River cruise

Reginald_B, Jul 2026

A large portion of the tour is a industrial area and there is very little of interest The ship is adequate

Stay away!!!!

yialfonso, Jul 2026

No explanation on surrounding areas or history! However the staff is friendly, and will bring drinks.

Not something I would book again

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

An elegant river boat cruise

Beauty_C, Jun 2026

Trip cancelled 10 mins after departure time

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.

No fun Sevilla

Elizabeth_D, Jun 2026

Unreliable, boat was cancelled late without warning, after long walk to boat station in heat ,other boats were operating.

Awful Service

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.

Not what I expected…

theresadiaz15, Jun 2026

It’s an hour cruising on a canal not the Guadalquivir River. Nothing worthwhile seeing or even commenting on. Don’t waste your time!

There were no tapas and...

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.

Views to slag heaps

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

A must when in Seville!

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!
