Super informative and great tour for anyone looking to maximize their time in Seville can’t recommend it enough. The guide was super knowledgeable and kept us right on schedule.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! The Louvre is vast, so we completely understand that two hours can only cover a selection of its highlights. We are pleased you enjoyed the tour and appreciate your helpful advice for future visitors to allow extra time afterward to explore independently.

I will start with the positives. Skipping the line is great for these sites as the lines were quite long. The cathedral and alcazar themselves were amazing and absolutely must-sees if you are in Seville. The ear pieces are a great idea as the sites are quite crowded and the group was quite large so it would have been difficult to hear otherwise. Our tour guide was nice but went into a little too much detail for mine and my girlfriends taste. I think a short explanation for each spot and then time to explore solo would have been better but instead we got excruciating detail on every place we went to. We had other plans shortly after this and as a result had to leave the tour half way through the alcazar because it was running over time. Would still recommend for the right group.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We’re glad the priority access, headsets, and the impressive Cathedral and Alcázar were positive parts of your experience. We understand, however, that the level of detail and pacing were not the right fit for you, especially as the tour ran longer than expected and affected your following plans. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our Seville team as we continue working to balance historical insight with a comfortable pace.

Lara was an excellent tour guide! We had a lovely day learning about the palace and gardens. I truly wish we had more time to explore the gardens, they were magnificent. Tower at the cathedral was also a great experience! Everything was very close and I learned a lot!

There were so many people that the initial handing out of the tickets was chaotic & confusing. No initial instructions were given about the headphones and half the group didn’t even have them in/activated for the first 15 minutes of talking. The whole day just felt rushed and messy, it was really unfortunate.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This was one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever been on. Our guide was Sarah who had expert knowledge and perfect English. The Alcázar was breathtaking and full of interesting facts made all the better as some scenes from game of thrones were filmed here. This was a nice fusion of ancient and modern and will appeal to a wide variety of visitors. The cathedral was beautiful and incorporated a long walk up the tower which should be taken if you are able. The history and information particularly about famous explorers was really interesting. It should be your number 1 thing to do in Seville. Well done especially to the wonderful Sarah

Maria G. did a great job as our English speaking tour guide. Would have liked a little more time to look around the Alcaraz, it was nice our ticket to the Alcaraz also works for two other local sites as long as you use it by the next day. Climbed the Giralda tower and since the tour ended at the Cathedral I spent extra time there seeing some of the areas we didn't have time to see during the tour.

Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience. The operator sent numerous messages before the tour, and one contained a schedule change that was never reflected in my Viator booking. I arrived 45 minutes early (guests were advised to arrive 30 minutes early), only to learn the tour had already departed because of the updated time buried in the messages.
I appreciated being allowed to join the second half, but I still missed a significant portion of the experience I paid for and was offered no partial refund or alternative accommodation. We then spent nearly 30 minutes waiting for pickup while watching several other tours come and go, rather than simply meeting the group at a designated point.
I was told communication issues were due to booking through Viator and that booking directly would have been smoother.
Regardless of where responsibility lies, I paid for a full tour and only received part of it. I've used Viator extensively while traveling and have never encountered anything like this.
While the portion we attended was fine, the communication, handling of the schedule change, and lack of a meaningful resolution were disappointing. I also didn't feel the added facts and content justified the price difference between just buying two tickets on my own.
Based on my experience, it may be easier to book the attractions separately and explore on your own.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the schedule change and communication caused you to miss part of your tour.
We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive only part of the experience you had planned and paid for. We would like to review the details of your booking and check exactly what happened with the timing, communication, and assistance provided on the day.
Please contact us at feedback@crowntours.com with your booking reference number so our team can investigate the situation properly and assist you further.

We realized we had a conflict in times with our transport so couldn’t attend the whole tour, but our guide told us how to get through the castle on our own to optimize our experience!
