    Take a guided ride! You won't regret it.

    This is a MUST! We did not just get on a horse and carriage we had Alba an informative, cultured, and fun tour guide with us! She truly made our ride a wonderful experience. As we looked around to other carriages they seemed to marvel at the beautiful architecture but had no clue about they symbolism. It's worth the time and money!

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Muchas gracias Angelica y Gerardo, it was so fun to have you on this tour. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit! - Alba

    Great introduction to Saville.

    A great introduction to Seville for the children—-what a wonderful way to see the sights,from an open topped,horse drawn carriage?

    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    Thank you so much David! Hope your family had fun in Seville, and comes back some time soon 😃

    Disappointed

    Ann_B, May 2024
    The guide was very good and knowledgeable but I felt that this tour was miss sold. I thought that the cost included the horse and cart trip as it wasn’t cheap, but it was just the cost for the guide. An extra 45 euro was required in cash for the ride itself. That put a dampener on the trip from the start

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Hi Ann! Sorry you were disappointed, but this information is very clear in the description of the tour; I wrote it myself in different parts of the description and exclusions so that everyone is aware of it. The carriages only accept cash payments, so we cannot be responsible to pay taxes on their behalf, for that matter, the payments are made separately. I also always send an email the day before the tour reminding everyone about the payment for the driver, in case they missed the repeated message in the product description. The price you paid is the official minimum price for a private guide according to the Association of Tour Guides; and the 45€ is the official price of the carriages (City Hall regulation). In all these years of doing this tour, no one has ever complained about it, so I’m sorry if you misunderstood the inclusions of the tour (the list of inclusions also say that the carriage payment is made separately). Best regards, Alba.

    Very nice introduction to Seville

    Brian_B, Apr 2024
    Alba was a wonderful guide and orovided lots of information about the city and its history. The tour took in many of the city highlights

    Robin_F, Jun 2023
    We loved every minute of this tour. From the horse and carriage to the knowledgeable, fun, and friendly tour guide. She was so wonderful we had to book another tour with her the next day!

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Thank you so much Robin! I’m glad you enjoyed both the horse carriage and the Jewish history tour! Looking forward to having you back in Seville. -Alba

    Response from Host, Mar 2023

    Thank you so much Richard!

    Relaxed, informative tour with a knowledgeable, friendly guide

    Adrian_R, Jun 2022
    We chose this tour because one of our party is elderly and could not walk far in the hot weather. We are very glad we did because the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Without doubt this was the best way for us to get a good introduction to Sevilla.

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Thank you so much Adrian! I had a wonderful tour with you and your family 😃

    We love it

    Ionut_S, Jun 2022
    Alba was very friendly and open to tell us about all the important buildings and their stories. Very beautiful to travel across the city with the horse carriage. We enjoyed it. Anyone should try it at least once

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Muchas gracias Ionut🤩! I’m glad you and Maria-Valeria enjoyed it! And congratulations again on the engagement! 🤩🤩

    Carriage ride tour of Seville

    Patricia_W, Jun 2022
    This is not the same as the rides available for tourists in Seville. This is a carriage ride with a tour guide to point out the sites of Seville. Our guide, Alba, was great and the carriage ride was too. It was a great way to enjoy the Plaza de Espagne and the adjacent park.

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Aww thank you so much Patricia! I’m glad you and the girls enjoyed the ride. Hope to see you again in Seville!

    Highly recommend

    Kelly_S, Jun 2022
    We had Alba As our guide. Figured after a morning of being on our feet would be good to sit for a bit. Went through the lovely park and got tons of interesting information. Highly recommend

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Thank you so much Kelly! I’m glad you both enjoyed the tour 😃 Looking forward to seeing you again in the future ☺️

    Beautiful Horse & Carriage Ride

    Victoria_S, Apr 2022
    From booking this tour through Viator in the UK to receiving email confirmation from the tour guide in Seville. Thank you Alba Delgado for being very informative and engaging and accommodating the weather change. We had a fabulous tour! Thank you Victoria and Lee

    Response from Host, Apr 2022

    Thank you so much Victoria & Lee , for this lovely message! Will be waiting for you next time you visit my Seville🥰

    A great way to see this lovely city.

    Adrienne_E, Mar 2022
    Alba our guide was excellent. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend her. Will take another carriage ride when we return to Seville in the future.

    Response from Host, Mar 2022

    Thank you so much Adrianne! Will be waiting for you next time 😄😃

    Must do experience

    Kevin_B, Oct 2021
    Alba was knowledgeable and very nice. The tour was amazing and romantic. Abla even gave us recommendations on shops for ceramics and lodging accommodations.

    Response from Host, Nov 2021

    Thank you so much for this lovely review, Kevin! Really appreciate it, hope you liked the ceramics too!

    Romantic tour for two

    JOHN_G, Oct 2021
    By far this was an excellent experience. The tour guide revealed she was highly educated and was reflected in her mastery of the English language. The in depth history lesson along the way provided a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural history the town has. Bring a hat and sunglasses if you decided to do this in the middle of the day.

    Response from Host, Oct 2021

    Thank you John! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour despite the sunny day hahaha, Seville in autumn :D Can't wait to have you back visiting the city. -Alba

    Great time saver

    Summer_R, Oct 2021
    Alba was a tremendous guide. She knew so much about the city and was very charming. What a great way to see so much of the city in a short period of time. The only thing I questioned is that the tour didn't come with wine or cava as described on viator.

    Response from Host, Oct 2021

    Thank you so much Summer! It was lovely to have you two. About the cava, it is only included in the Romantic tour (as described in the product description); you didn’t book that option, only the Long Ride version of the tour. Hope this solves the doubt. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour overall! Best, Alba

    Wonderful tour and experience!

    Monica_M, Sep 2021
    Alba is awesome! Very sweet and knowledgeable. Gave us great recommendations for shopping and dining as well! She was able to help set up a second carriage for friends to go right in front of us as well, so we could all stop for photos. Highly recommend!!

    Response from Host, Sep 2021

    Thank you so much Monica! I’ll post your picture and review on IG soon! ;)

    Increíble

    Rebecca_C, Jan 2025
    Plaza de España. La guía majisima nos contó la historia de cada edificio. Aunque se nos hizo corto….

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Muchas gracias, Rebecca! Nos alegra ver que han tenido un bonito tour con Mila. Precisamente antes solíamos hacer rutas de 1h20, pero para dar descanso a los caballos y para reducir gestiones, nos hemos quedado solo con la versión corta, que es el itinerario estipulado para estos cocheros. Muchísimas gracias de nuevo, feliz año!

    Belle promenade et découverte de Séville

    Muriel_M, Apr 2024
    Guide sympathique. Présentation et histoire des monuments intéressants. Tour de Seville, qui donne une bonne idée générale de la ville à découvrir. Promenade très agréable.
