Great
We loved our early morning tour to the Real Alcázar with our guide Alba. It was fantastic to be there before the crowds, no lines and the opportunity for great photos and no pushing around people to see things. Our guide was excellent and her stories and explanations were so interesting, making it one of our favourite tours in Spain. We learnt so much and would definitely book with Walks again.

This early-access tour of the Alcazar was the absolute highlight of my time in Seville. The experience began with the magical moment the doors of the Alcazar opened just for our small group—a truly exclusive feeling that set the tone for the rest of the visit.
Our guide, Clara, was fantastic—knowledgeable, passionate, and full of interesting stories and historical context that brought the palace to life. Exploring the gardens and ornate rooms in near silence, without the usual throngs of tourists, was an unforgettable experience. The peaceful atmosphere allowed us to really soak in the beauty and vibe of the place. I honestly felt like a member of the royal family, wandering through this palace in peace and silence.
And let’s talk about the photos—without crowds, every corner was a perfect shot. No people to wait on, no photobombing, just stunning architecture and serene gardens.
When we left, we saw the enormous line of people waiting to get in, and I can confidently say this tour was worth every penny for the exclusivity, the tranquility, and the insights from a great guide.
Highly recommend booking this if you want to truly appreciate the Alcazar in all its glory.
