The meeting place Viator gave us was incorrect. We had to ask at the entrance to the stadium and they helped us find our tour guide. By then we were 15 minutes late for a 45 minute tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear client,
The meeting point is written and very easy to get to the unique bullring on the city.
The guide was outside with the brand of Sevilla Única.

Fascinating location. Incredibly interesting history. However, we would have loved to have learned more about the building (when was it built and why) and what were the items in the museum. Our guide gave us a great introduction to the breed of the fighting bull but, we would have benefited from learning some basics about bullfighting and who does it.

We were initially unsure about visiting the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla given the controversy surrounding bullfighting, but the guided tour offered valuable context that changed our perspective. We learned about its origins, including how early practices were tied to feeding the poor, and how it has evolved into a highly ritualized art form centered on the matador’s skill and performance.
Because it’s still a functioning bullring, we were also able to get tickets to an evening show. Seeing the event firsthand was certainly an interesting and eye-opening experience, and one we’re glad we had—it’s now something we can check off our bucket list.
While still culturally and politically suggest complex, the experience gave us a deeper understanding of this important part of Spanish culture. Overall, it was worth it for the historical and cultural insight.

The tour was mostly of a museum and was slow and boring. Only the last 10 mins was the chapel, arena & a “look” to the bull ring. I was under the wrong impression we would be escorted to the center of the ring. Not the case. The tour guide was polite and knowledgeable but this is for folks without kids who want to know the deep history of bull fighting.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your booking.
If you read the part:”What you expect” We explain that the tour is about the history and the evolution of the tauromaquia,as official guides we tall about history in all out tours.
We don’t know when it’s possible to be in the middel during Corridas de toros season,out of season we see the seats from the middle of the arena.

Most of the tour takes place in the museum area, with displays of paintings and artifacts. Our tour leader was a bullfighting enthusiast.

Despite checking the meeting location with google maps, local staff and the Viator team the guide didn't turn up and couldn't be contacted by ourselves or Viator. Beware, our first bad experience using Viator, although the Viator team were responsive and helpful as far as they could

Great experience. Very informative, particularly about the bulls and the matadors. Great photo op in the bullring.
Joanne_B, Oct 2025
Tour of the Bullring in Seville was brief for the cost, the guide was difficult to understand, the museum pieces were lovely but more information to read would have been helpful.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear client,
I am not sure if you made the tour with us due if you would have made it,you will learn much more information about everything.

Simple and informative! Great history and explanation of the Plaza de Toros in Seville and the history in Spain, France and Portugal. Couldn’t go on the ground due to federal event but that was not the operators fault.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you very much for your words!!
Lynn_S, May 2025
If you have reservations regarding the whole bullfighting tradition it’s well worth taking the guided tour. The history is very interesting to hear and gives insight into what may for some be considered a controversial sport
Jeff_J, Apr 2025
Group of about 20 with 1 tour guide. She had microphone, we had radio with earbuds. Tour was very informative and interesting. We learned about the culture of bullfighting, the reasons and methodology behind each aspect of the bullfight, and how it is the matador's job to bring out the best attributes of the bull he is fighting. The tour ends in the arena which is quite picturesque.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you very much for your review,it was a pleasure to show you the history & evolution.

Very interesting tour, filled with colorful stories and in depth history of bullfighting. Guide was very knowledgeable, but a little difficult to understand at times. All and all, a very worthwhile tour.

Incredible history of bull fighting
It was extremely hot so found 1 of the rooms suffocating as no air conditioning
The arena is still in use
Unfortunately everything is stacked against the bulls & it’s seems very cruel
Logan_S, Jun 2024
This was a great way to tour the bullring and to learn about the sport of bullfighting in Spain. We learned a lot on this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you very much for your review and your words!
Ashley_G, May 2024
Really enjoyed the tour and history the guide talked about, only downside for us was it seemed somewhat rushed through certain areas and if you did not stay close the audio would cut out due to range.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your review, we are looking for a solution for the audio.
Lynda_P, May 2024
Interesting to learn history of bullfighting and see the arena. Guide knowledgeable. Would have better if English words used throughout talk. Use of audio equipment very helpful to hear over other visitors. All I all good experience and recommend.

Thank you for your words!!!It was a pleasure!
Sonia_T, Oct 2023
A great way to find out more about bullfighting and the history behind it. The guide was very knowledgeable and conveyed the passion behind the "sport". We did this tour to try and better understand the purpose of bullfighting and the controversy it attracts. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an insight into this controversial form of "entertainment".
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for understanding that the tauromaquia is art and not a sport! 😬
Thank you very much for your review!
JIMMIE_L, Sep 2023
English speaking guide provided context and nuance that would have been missed with a self guided visit.
Hayley_S, Sep 2023
The date I choose, there was a big concert being set up but I was offered a different time and day and the guide couldn’t have been more helpful! Forget what preconceived ideas you have about bullfighting and listen to the history of its origins and how the welfare of both animal and man are forefront . Stunning arena wish I could have seen the full affect without stage and seating but wasn’t disappointed. Book in advance highly recommend

I loved the museum and the artwork, the history is fascinating and all the quirky little extras like the fact that bulls like eggplants. I liked my guide, she was very professional but she never seemed to be bored by her subject.
Response from Host, Jul 2023

It was a pleasure to show the bullring,the history and evolution of bullfighting.

We had a small group tour and our guide was an expert on all aspects of bullfighting, the bulls, the history and setup of the stadium. I forgotten the name of our guide (embarrassing) but I think her name was Pitta or similar. Try to get her as your guide.
