Seville · SEVILLE PALACE AND HISTORIC HOUSE TOURS
Casa de Pilatos, Las Dueñas and the smaller houses keep the same tilework as the Alcázar with a fraction of the visitors. These 15 are compared on entry price, whether the upper floor is included and how long each takes.
Walk through Casa de Pilatos, Seville’s elegant 15th-century palace, with access to the ground floor, courtyards, chapel, artwork, sculptures, and gardens. An audio guide in seven languages explains the palace’s Mudejar-Gothic and Renaissance design. The upper floor is not included.
“Excellent experience and beautiful palace and gardens. Would definitely recommend.”
Spend 90 minutes at El Palacio Andaluz watching professional flamenco dancers, singers, and musicians in an Andalusian palace setting. Choose a show-only ticket, a drink package, or dinner with tapas, wine, and dessert. The 21:30 session includes a free return bus, subject to limited places.
“We didn’t do the diner, only drinks were offered when we watched. This is extremely touristy. But we had a great time! My partner and I had a few drinks before going and had a blast with the performance. You will not get a “genuine” experience here but it’s a fun activity to do in the evening for the price, would recommend.”
Travel from Seville to Granada by comfortable minibus, then tour the Alhambra and Nasrid Palaces with a local guide. Guides such as Antonio, Manuela, Juan, and Anna have earned praise for clear, lively explanations. Bring your passport, wear good shoes, and prepare for a very long day.
“This was the absolute worst tour I’ve been on. There were SO many discrepancies in the description compared to what actually happened. The description said “free time in Granada - 3 hours” (see screenshot). This was not correct, as the tour guide said there’s no time, and we missed out on exploring Granada due to this. We only allotted one day for Granada on our trip, and we expected to have 3 hours to explore. We were not told that the guide would be explaining everything in English and Spanish. This doubled our time at every attraction. The speaker was disinterested and would speak 2 sentences in English, then Spanish,…”
Visit Las Dueñas Palace in Seville at your own pace with an English audioguide. Explore the Casa de Alba residence, courtyards, gardens, antiques, and personal mementoes in about one to two hours. Admission costs $18.57 per person, with free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
“Fabulous place to visit. Very interesting interior and beautiful gardens. An oasis in the heart of Seville and in my opinion far superior to the Alcázar.”
Visit Casa de Salinas in Seville’s Old Town with a 25-minute audio guide in English, Spanish, French, or Italian. See Mudéjar arches, painted ceilings, original tiles, and a Roman mosaic inside a family-owned mansion near the cathedral and Alcázar.
“It was a lovely place to visit and a warm welcome. The audioguide was good and the experience of this sort of house was beautiful.”
At Seville’s El Palacio Andaluz, you’ll watch a 90-minute flamenco production with dancers, singers, guitarists, clappers, and a 12-minute Carmen adaptation. Your ticket includes cava, a chocolate truffle, and entry to the Flamenco Costume Museum. A panoramic bus ride is included from October 6.
“Great show with good food and fantastic performance from true flamenco dance masters. You can see and feel the spirit of Spain!”
Travel from Seville to Granada with a private driver and guide, then visit the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Generalife, and Palace of Carlos V. Finish with lunch and a walk through the Albayzin to the San Nicolas viewpoint. English tours run for 10 to 11 hours.
“Enrique was an excellent tour guide who adapted so well to our wants and needs! We were an intergenerational group with ages from 4 - 74, so we challenged Enrique with everything from short attention spans to limited mobility. He handled it all expertly! He was a great companion not just for the tour of the Albaicin and the Alhambra, but also for the long drives to and from Granada. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
Tour Palacio de Las Dueñas for 75 minutes with a live English or Spanish-speaking guide. See courtyards, gardens, fine art, and rooms tied to the Alba family, Empress Eugenia de Montijo, and poet Antonio Machado.
“Lovely Palace and interesting history; I read the information boards throughout the venue to find out the history. I stayed for ages and read my book as its such a relaxing place. I couldnt use audio guide as I'm deaf and lipread. The staff tried to find someone but unfortunately no-one was available; I did explain sign language not required, as I grew up lipreading. I did see a Spanish tour guide with a group ( I knew this because I could lipread some of the Spanish spoken by her ). In all fairness it was my mistake to assume there would be a tour guide person. It would be…”
You’ll leave your Seville hotel early for a private, 13-hour trip to Granada. A local guide leads you through the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, and Generalife Gardens, followed by free time in Granada. Guides such as Fernando have earned praise for clear English and lively explanations.
“We had the most incredible guide named Fernando. His English was perfect and he was super knowledgeable. His excitement to share the beauty of the Alhambra made the experience so enjoyable. Our driver, Miguel, was a courteous and safe driver who made us so comfortable. Highly recommended!”
Spend about three hours with an English-speaking private guide at Casa de Pilatos and Palacio de las Dueñas, with horse-drawn carriage sightseeing around Seville and Plaza de España. Alba, Patricia, or Mila may lead the visit. Palace admission is included, but the carriage fare is paid separately in cash.
“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.”
Walk through Seville’s former mosque, see Holy Week sculptures, visit Casa Pilatos’ remarkable tilework, and trace Mudejar, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern styles. Guides such as Miriam, Sergio, and Jesus have led past tours. Metropol is viewed from outside, with entry available separately.
“Wonderful tour to amazing places. Sergio is a competent and well informed guide with deep knowledge of the old history of Seville. As we were a mini tour with just two people, I was able to cater to all our needs and showed us corners of Seville that we would not have seen in 25 years. Phantastic!”
Meet your English- or Spanish-speaking guide at Casa de Pilatos for a 1.5-hour visit to Seville’s 15th-century palace house. See the ground-floor courtyards, tilework, sculptures, and portrait galleries, with entrance included. The upper floor may not be part of the visit.
“The patios were closed because of the rain, the upper floor was under construction and we could only see the staircase, which can be seen by taking only the entrance from the lower floor.”
Meet at Las Dueñas Palace at noon for a 75-minute English guided visit through Mudejar and Renaissance rooms, noble family spaces, and peaceful gardens. Guides including Álvaro, Julián, Mari Paz, and Manuela bring the palace’s story to life, with admission included and groups capped at 30.
“Highly recommended the tour we did with Álvaro, a very rewarding experience that I would definitely repeat again.Auto-translated”
Join a local English or Spanish-speaking guide for three hours through Seville’s northern center. See the Antiquarium, Feria Market, Macarena Basilica, San Luis, six churches, and Palacio de las Dueñas. Guides including Emilio, Jesús, and Julián bring strong local knowledge to this walking tour.
“Emilio was extremely attentive and knowledgable of the history of Seville and the local areas. His English was very good and he kept us all interested for over 3 hours. He was literally, a walking encyclopaedia. A thoroughly worthwhile tour..”
Travel from Seville to Granada with a guide, then explore the Alhambra’s Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, Charles V Palace, and Generalife gardens. Guides such as Enrique and Natalia add useful historical context, while the three-hour drive each way makes this a long but practical day.
“Guide was fantastic! Loved getting all the historical information!”
