10.Plaza de Toros and Barrio Santa Cruz Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 11 reviews · 2 hours · from $38

Meet your Spanish-speaking guide at the Puerta del Príncipe and visit Seville’s Plaza de Toros, Museo Taurino, horse yard, chapel, and ring. Then walk through Barrio Santa Cruz to Patio de Banderas, with views toward the Giralda. A Saturday audio tour has occasionally replaced the live guide.

“Le lieu est très beau. Mais nous n'avons pas été prévenus que le samedi il n'y avait pas de guide. Nous avons dû faire la visite avec un audio qui ne remplace pas l'accessibilité d'un guide touristique et l'échange qu'il pourrait y avoir. Nous avons donc également visité le Barrio Santa Cruz seuls et donc sans explication sur l'histoire de ce quartier.”
