What a great tour!

Caleb_P, Dec 2025

What an amazing tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of information and context and answered all our questions.

Disappointing. Skip this tour.

Tina_D, Nov 2025

This tour only covered basic facts that were already posted throughout the ruins and in the museum. Moreover, our guide (originally French) was low energy and made weak jokes and odd facial expressions- think Peter Sellers’s Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther. Initially, we even thought she was drunk! Recommend you save money and skip this tour. Start at the museum near the entrance- it has a short video giving a nice overview. Then tour on your own. It’s not a complicated site and pretty small.

Italica fun

Tatiana_S, Oct 2025

It was very interesting and educational and fun tour. Jesus made it very enjoyable with lots of facts, funny stories and tons of information about Roman times and life’s of this town. The tour exceeded my expectations.

time and place mix up

Lesley_A, Oct 2025

We were told the wrong meeting point, the guide arrived 20-25 mins late with a coach party and the expected lateness was not communicated to us. I was about to look at site by self and complain. I tried to contact tour co b=va violator - no reply. I only got to them by looking up he tour company’s details on web. Even then, they did not answer phone but did respond to whatsapp

Hello, thank you for your feedback regarding your visit to Italica Roman Ruins with Naturanda. We are really happy to know you had a wonderful day and we hope see you in the future. Naturanda Team,

Miguel was great!

Carissa_D, May 2025

The tour was incredible and an absolute must see. Our tour guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the history of the ancient city. The amphitheater, (the dragon pits from Game of Thrones) were a highlight if you are GOT fans. Our one big complaint is that there is NO public transportation back (i.e. no taxi service to Sevillla) and we were not forewarned of this. There is only bus transport back - takes cash ONLY - (which we ran out of and had to walk 20 minutes to an atm to pull out cash) and is a long way back to the city (over 1 hour with all the stops). Highly recommend only doing this tour if you have a car and can drive yourself or book a tour with transportation to and from the city. Viator needs to be more clear about the transportation options. Still a great trip though!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hello Miguel, thanks for your comment we are glad that you liked the tour to Italica.

A must see!

Luis_M, Mar 2025

I’ve never heard of Italica until visiting Seville. It was an amazing must see place to visit. How well preserved and the presentation of this ancient Roman town is amazing. Alberto is a great tour guide, he knows his history and is very passionate. I recommend to go once with him to learn all the history and a second trip to go at your own pace to really appreciate and see the entire ancient city.

Great Tour Guide- Will Be missed

Ted_J, Mar 2025

Unbelievably good tour but the tour guide is off the get his doctorate so will no longer leading the tour. Really knowledgeable and made the city come to life...

Fabulous tour of ancient city and amphitheater

Tyler_P, Mar 2025

The tour of Italica and the amphitheater was awesome! Fascinating, informative, beautiful. Alberto Cort was our guide and he was absolutely the best! Knowledgeable, accessable, fun, and attentive. He made Italica come alive.

The guide brought energy,...

Barbara_H, Apr 2024

The guide brought energy, factual knowledge, and humor to his presentations. We learned much about the life and times of the Roman people who inhabited Itálica, and about ongoing archeological explorations. The adults, teenagers, and 9-year old all consider it a highlight of our Spain experiences,

Go off the path to visit Italica Ruins

Becky_B, Jan 2024

The ancient tiles were incredible. The guide did a good job of telling the story of Italica. We also learned about the Countess of LeBrija, which prompted us to tour her palace

Not the best!

Rosalinda_A, Dec 2023

This wasn’t the best tour for us. The guide was a little bit hard to understand. Microphone/headphones should have been provided.

funny, inclusive

Luis_F, Dec 2023

Our guide, Zarapico, was very good to include into his explanation local fauna and the importance of plants in the life of the inhabitants of Italica

Fantastic Roman experience

Nick_R, Nov 2023

Albergo was a great guide - very well informed and clearly passionate about the subject matter. The site is very interesting - definitely worth a visit

Disappointed

Katie_W, Nov 2023

The italica ruins are only €3 entry for non EU residents and free for EU residents. The first 5/10 minutes of the tour was good walking around the colliseum however the other hour and a half was mainly looking at 2 referbished Roman houses which was interesting however each room had its own information board which we could have just read the information on in about 40 minutes. Our tour guide was lovely and answered all of our groups questions however unfortunately on the day we went there were lots of school children and other louder tour group guides. The operator didn't supply headsets like they say in the description so we only heard 50% of our tour! Would give this one a miss!

Good tour

Anca_M, Oct 2023

The sites were amazing What we didn’t like and it is similar with other tours, the guide does not wait for everyone and starts the description of site We know for them it’s a business but for us is only that moment

Waste of time and money

Catherine_N, May 2023

Terrible tour guide. 1. She was 20 min late 2. Booked an English speaking tour but the guide did not speak English well and gave half the tour in French. (Ended up reading the posted signs and Goggling more about the site) 3. The guide also skipped 2 of the prominent sites, the theater and the bath house.

Family trip to Italica

Joanne_H, Apr 2023

Our guide was excellent; friendly, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about Italica. It was amazing to see the whole area of Italica, it was a shame that more of the city had not been uncovered, there is a huge piece of history awaiting discovery. I would recommend people take a guided tour rather than an independent visit, I can’t praise our guide enough, he made the trip so much more enjoyable.

Forced to share a tour with another language

Judith_C, Apr 2023

We were scheduled for a 10:30am tour in English. The tour guide arrived late and we were put into a group with French tourists. The tour guide had to conduct the entire tour in both languages, so the tour, which should have been 1 1/2hrs at most, took 3 hours! Half of which was in a different language. The guide did a great job, it wasn't her fault, but we were not even offered the option to get our money back if we didn't want to listen to a tour in French. Truly inconsiderate of our time.

Great way to see the ruins

John_P, Mar 2023

Great tour and the perfect length for us with young children. Jésus was very knowledgeable, personable, and enjoyed answering questions. We budgeted another hour after the tour to walk the grounds and take more pics which was perfect. Very enjoyable!

Worth a trip

Jayne_M, Jan 2023

Really interesting. Much nicer to do with guide and understand the nuances of what we see. We went by car but there is a bus stop by the gate.

Italica

Laurie_M, Jan 2023

Jesus was an excellent guide with lots of energy and warmth. Italics is an amazing place not just for history enthusiasts. Final scenes from Game of Thrones filmed here.

Well worth the visit

Robert_R, Nov 2022

Oratory guide was fantastic. Not only excellent at being an archaeologist she really explained the city as it was back in the day

Glad we didnt skip Italica

Robert_L, Oct 2022

Very interesting tour. Wish the guide would have spoken a little slower. Our weather was nice. This tour would not have been fun on a hot day. Very little shade. Nice, casual restaurant across the street from the entrance.

Interesting ruins, unintelligible tour guide

Annette_A, Jul 2022

Italica is definitely worth seeing. Our tour guide was very nice, but her English was so terrible that for the most part we had to guess what she was saying. She must have self-taught English from a book, because she pronounced everything so badly or just made up words that didn’t exist. Which left us wondering why gladiators were eating grass to put on more fat :-). As a tour guide you need to have better English skills, because the tour was dragging

Great tour and value for money!

Harriet_F, Apr 2022

Very interesting tour. Our guide Jesús was very engaging and full of knowledge. It lasted about 2 hours and for the price over exceeded my expectations!

Very long

ADELE_B, Apr 2022

The guide was lovely but his English was a little confusing to listen too, he was well presented and he tried to make it fun. Waiting a little too long as he has a couple of Spanish speaking people with a large English speaking group

Disappointing

Olivia_B, Jan 2022

We were very excited about this tour, but felt a bit disappointed by it in the end. While we signed up for a tour in English, we really ended up speaking 3 languages - English, French, and Spanish - due to the different needs of the tour participants. As a result, it took a long time to get through all of the content and there was a lot of “dead time” for us during the French and Spanish discussion. There are many informational plaques throughout the site and we felt like we probably could have had a good experience just walking through and reading those at our own pace. Not sure it was really worth booking a guided tour for this one.

Great

GARY_M, Apr 2020

Great tour. Just right pace. Very informative guide Roman history in spain would be recommended on a nice sunny day 20 minutes from central Seville well worth it

Nice site.

Nuno_N, Jul 2019

It's a well preserved archeological site, with many replicas of original artefacts originally found at the site and taken to the Seville. The guide explained very well the site, so you could feel the life of the ancient city. Very nice. The Colosseum is awesome.
