A great morning in the Alcazar - the private early entry tour was totally worth it to see everything without the crowds and in the cool morning before the 100F heat of the afternoon. Alba was an exceptional guide, lots of wonderful stories that brought the place to life and gave a tangible sense of the history.

The way I would have paid double for this tour! Lola was an amazing guide and being in the alcazar before the crowd was priceless. I could actually enjoy the history and really look at things vs being rushed through and dodging influencers. I do a lot of tours and this ranks as one of the best!

Nika_S, Aug 2026

If you have the chance, try to get Alba as your guide. She was, without a doubt, one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She made the Alcázar come alive with her storytelling. The tour was incredibly informative, but also so entertaining that the time just flew by. You can immediately see that history is her passion, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Her English is also excellent, making everything easy to follow and enjoyable. Thank you, Alba, for such a memorable experience. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of the tour. Highly recommended!

Well worth the extra money!

Nilanjana_C, Jul 2026

Amazing almost private way to experience the Alcazar in peace and quiet. Spend that extra bit for a truly special visit.

We had an excellent guide (Alba) and the palace was empty except for our group. It could not have been a better experience. After the tour, we could wander the palace on our own.

Incredible experience!

Basant_P, Jun 2026

Raquel was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and you could tell that she wanted to share her knowledge and passion for Sevilla with others. Glad we got an early morning tour - got to see the castle without anyone else there, which was an incredible experience!

Annie_N, Jun 2026

Guillame was friendly and engaging and gave a great knowledgeable tour around the Alcazar. Thanks Guillame for a great tour! The palace itself is also highly worth the visit!

Absolutely incredible tour and an amazing guide!

Sarah_G, Jun 2026

We did the Exclusive Early Access Tour, and getting in early to avoid the brutal afternoon heat alone was worth it! It was wonderful to experience the stunning history of the Alcazar comfortably before the major crowds arrived. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was our guide, Alba. She was absolutely amazing—incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and so patient. We asked a ton of "outside-the-box" questions, and she answered every single one with enthusiasm and deep insight. If you want a deep dive into the history with a top-tier guide, request Alba!

Alcazar of Seville: An Experience to be Remembered

Janis_O, Jun 2026

The Alcazar of Seville: Exclusive Early Access Tour is highly recommended. The monument itself is breathtakingly beautiful and was so expertly brought to life by our tour guide, Alba. Alba is exceptionally knowledgeable about Seville history, and she is also very easy and personable to listen to. Visiting before the crowds arrived, during the cool temperature of early morning, plus, being serenaded by beautiful peacocks, made this altogether an unforgettable experience.

A great morning in the...

Well worth the money to get in ahead of the crowds. We were able to experience the environment in peace, often alone… It was wonderful. Lola was our guide and she was fantastic!

Priceless

Sheila_C, May 2026

Amazing

Mildred_T, May 2026

Barbara was our tour guide. It is so worth the money to have the early access there was approximately 15 people in my group we were allowed to enter one hour before the Alcazar opened to the public. Barbsra was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so much great information. The tour lasted 90 minutes and we were able to stay after the tour.

Best Alcazar tour

Christina_G, May 2026

I have done 'before hours' tours before but I have never entered a historical site with only one group being allowed in. It was a once in a life time experience to see the beauty of the Alcazar without having to dodge around other people. To make the event even better, our tour guide, Alba. was amazing. She gave us so much information, but in a clear and entertaining way. We never felt rushed, had plenty of time to take our photos before moving on, and Alba even gave pointers on the best spots or ways to take photos in each place. I would absolutely do this tour again.

Getting in before the...

Lola was as good as a guide gets— knowledgeable, charming and flexible. And the Alcázar ranks among the greatest manmade places to be seen. Not to to be missed.

The guide was great and getting in early before opening made the experience really wonderful. We’ll definitely use this tour operator in the future.

An incredible experience

Eldon_D, May 2026

What a privilege it was to experience this tour. Having the opportunity to visit the Alacazar with a small group prior to the opening was truly wonderful. Our guide Raquel made the experience so much better as well. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and personality was a joy.

Truly Special Opportunity

Merryl_B, May 2026

Take this tour if you possibly can. It is a magnificent opportunity to understand the Reall Alcazar and see it before the crowds rush in. Worth every euro!

Wonderful tour with Lola, who was an absolutely outstanding guide. So good to be in the Alcazar before it opened to the public - and awesome to be able to stay for the rest of the day. First class!!!

Alcazar without the crowds

Carol_W, Apr 2026

The opportunity to be inside the Alcazar without masses of other visitors was amazing, offering time to really appreciate the beauty of the palaces and gardens with endless photo opportunities. Our guide, Raquel, was vivacious, knowledgeable and gave one of the best tours we have ever enjoyed.
