It's magnificent, splendid. But a lack of organization. You buy the tickets but you don't know which queue to get into. It's stressful. Whereas if there were signposts. Those who already have their ticket, those who don't. The tour at such and such an hour... In short... And I find it really very, very crowded. It's impossible to take nice pictures. But it's still a great experience.

I also liked the Giralda and the Alcazar, but I recommend the former only for people with healthy legs, because you can get up on a 35-turn ramp. True, there are little window boxes with seats for resting.

Wonderful place, I really didn't want to leave! The garden is just breathtaking. Get the ticket in advance! Beware, the ticket controllers are strict. My friend is a flight attendant and her flight was suddenly moved to an earlier one. She had a ticket to the Alcazar but of course would like to get in earlier so she wouldn't miss work. The security didn't let her in and there was no possibility to switch time slot or get your money back.
It's so beautiful! It's a must-see, along with the cathedral and Giralda tower. But the Alcazar gardens are a jewel! We recommend

Both the indoor part and the gardens are beautiful. Buying tickets with Headout was easy and made us avoid the queues.

Everything worked well and we got all the information we needed. It is an experience to visit the place. However, we had problems getting their audio guide to work.

Admission for four people worked without any problems for all three sights we had booked with the help of the clearly laid out app. Despite the high season, there were no waiting times, just a quick security check (backpacks checked) and then we were off. Seville is beautiful and offers an infinite number of magnificent sights for people interested in art history. The view from the Giralda over the sea of houses in Seville is fantastic.

The Real Alcazar is a wonderful and well-preserved place. The gardens are manicured and lush. We did not have to queue at all having purchased our tickets in advance and used the audio guide in Italian included in the cost of the ticket. An excellent experience!

We preferred the Alcazar! An afternoon of strolling, our eyes drawn everywhere by the castle's décor, and a long walk in the gardens.

Everything is superb! Too bad we didn't have a guidebook, and audio guides require you to download an app and have a good battery!

Third time visiting and equally wonderful each time. Phone guide was really interesting and informative. Just wish there had been better labelling to help find each room/area. Would love to come back again .
We were fortunately just in time to book a combo ticket! It's actually better to do it before you travel! Very easy to book online and pay with your phone and then you get a QR code in your mail and with that you can go to the cathedral and the palace! Both very worthwhile!

Alcazar was very beautiful to look at. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit the gardens due to the weather. You can move around freely and see everything at your leisure. In the low season, things are also more leisurely. It makes sense to buy tickets in advance. The Cathetral is definitely a must-see. The bell tower offers a fantastic view over Seville from the top. Simply fantastic.

The entire place was incredible,walking through history .it was raining heavily when we went,but that can't be helped..only negative for me,too many people,but everywhere in Seville was like that..
Mandatory stop to be able to see the magnificence of a city like Seville. Huge palace with fine finishes and a unique garden. I recommend visiting the gardens in the evening after 8 pm with immersive experience in light games.

A beautiful place, but the audio guide isn't very practical (you get lost very quickly). We were unable to visit the gardens as they were closed due to the weather.

Well organized with the skip the line time slots. Due to rainfall we we're unfortunately not allowed to visit the gardens.
I absolutely recommend the visit at the Alcazar, the place is stunningly beautiful. I recommend the Skip the Line ticket and a little tour of the labyrinth, an experience to do again.

Punctuality of appointments and pick-up! On the other hand, some rather cavalier schedule changes the day before could have caused us to cancel our visit by moving it from 1:00 pm to 11:00 am. All the more so as we learnt that the morning of the tour was partially booked. 11H00: Cathedral+Giralda and 15H00: The Alcazar.

The experience was ten, our guide, Guadalupe, was a great professional, explained very well, and in detail, the visit to the cathedral. Very nice and pleasant. We also did with her the guided visit to the Alcazar. We were delighted. A totally recommendable experience, essential in the visit to Seville. I would repeat, no doubt.

Beautiful experience that is worth the price of the ticket especially if done with a tour guide, I highly recommend the skip the line which we did and it allowed us to enter without waiting, there is a kiosk inside, a little expensive, but it is all part of a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

View original review in French
very good guides. BUT I was not informed that the tour was postponed by 2 hours. The subcontractor (concierge sthose) claims to have sent me an email. I received nothing, not even via the Head Out app. Maybe they sent via What's app. If that's the case, they should let us know because when you arrive from overseas, you don't necessarily have access to your cell phone number. In short, it was the guides who saved the day, because I was really frustrated at having to change my entire day's schedule without notice. I will not do business with headout again.

The tour by the guide was very good and detailed/informative. You could ask questions and got answers immediately. Well done. What was problematic - for us - was the general rush and the resulting chaos of voices. But that's just the way it is! All in all, it was very good.

The visit was interesting but afterwards we took a tour again x better understand the internal architectural structure .Being an unusual cathedral without a floor plan in hand it is difficult to understand it . The guide was comprehensive and engaging

La visite réalisée avec Ghislaine était très vivante, un lieux magnifique, Ghislaine a su nous donner le contenu historique et réaliste. Bien organisé, la visite aurait pu durée 1 heure de plus, c'était passionnant
Beautiful visit worth the price (comments, and beauty of the Alcazar, enhanced by the humor and knowledge of Francesco, our guide. A cathedral steeped in history, too much rococo for my taste... It's a pity he didn't give us the tickets to take advantage of other free tours including: colegial del salvator...
View original review in French
The guides are very friendly and make the visits very pleasant. The sites are extraordinary, of course, especially the real Alcazar. The only drawback is that the combo was done in 2 parts, at 11 a.m. then 2:45 p.m., and it's not presented that way.
View original review in French
First part in the cathedral had poor audio equipment , audio kept breaking up even within 10m of the speaker. Second part in Alcazar had much better and reliable audio equipment. Both presentors were good and informative. I do wish there would have been a few more short breaks as we had senior citizen with us and its hard to stay up 2.5hrs non-stop.
Well done to our guide for his passion for the city and his humorous comments. Well organized and on time.

Great triple trip, everything went smoothly with clear precise details with great communication. So glad we visited with a guide (Sarah), yet had plenty of time to explore on our own too.
What I liked most about the place was its history, art and architecture. The cathedral is impressive and the view from the Giralda is magnificent.
