Very knowledgeable guide added to the experuence - Nieves was very knowledgeable. While some information was available on posters she added an important overview of Italica which explained the areas and their purposes rather than focus on individual properties alone so we had a greater understanding at the end.

Great half day tour of Roman ruins - My friend and I took the half-day tour to itálica from Seville with Patricia and Adrian. We really enjoyed the tour and it had more than we expected! We visited the old Roman town of itálica and learned about the history. Patricia led the English speaking group and was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history. She explained everything very clearly and was able to answer all questions. She went at a good pace. We visited the amphitheater where she also gave us a little history of the popular TV show Game of Thrones. Finally we visited an old monastery that was recently restored and got to see different stages of restoration and learn about some catholic history. In the tour we stopped at a little bar and were all given some sweet wine made of raisins and a manchego cheese tapas which were both delicious. The tour lasted from 9:45 ( they pick you up from a spot close to where you’re staying) and it ended at around 2pm. Itálica is very close to Seville and was a short drive. It was perfect to do prior to my evening flight. Another great perk to mention is that we left our suitcases with the tour office since we had checked out of our Airbnb. Worth the money and good about time! Would recommend this tour! Especially Patricia.

Terrible Tour Guide - As a GOT fan, I can't tell you how much we looked forward to this tour. The reason for the 2 stars falls solely on the tour guide. First, he arrived late, then he sped through the ruins while on his phone. He acted bothered when we asked questions because he had to get off his phone & it slowed him down. Some questions he dismissed completely & kept going. Finally he pointed us towards the Amphitheater arena & left. We learned close to nothing. The Amphitheater arena is a must for any GOT fan & worth the visit. I have always been happy with Viator tours. I am sure I would have given this tour 5 stars if we had had a better tour guide.

Over Hyped and Under Delivered! Misrepresentation of GOT - When this was sold to us it was titled “ Game if thrones filming locations Italica Seville”. Description said See filming locations in the Seville area during this Game of Thrones tour • A guide tells you behind-the-scenes facts about the hit TV show • Visit one of the largest amphitheaters in the world in Italica • Beat the heat in an air-conditioned coach with bottled water provided Combine Roman history with Game of Thrones facts during this tour to Italica near Seville's center. Learn about the Roman emperors born in the city long ago, and see filming locations from GOT, the hit HBO TV show. A guide tells you all about the areas of the city the show used while filming its seventh season, If you are a GOT fan DONT waste your money! You are taken to Itálica lumped with other people who have no interest in GOT and told nothing. We have done the GOT tour in Dubrovnik and it was fantastic. This was a waste of our time! Trying to get a refund but havnt received anything yet! How they can even say filming location “plural” is a joke. You go to italicia nothing about GOT and then a monestry where it wasnt even filmed!!!!!

Local guide had No idea this was a Game of Thrones based tour. Not for GOT fans. - Tour started 1/2 late. We were charged full entrance fee which was stated as included in tour fee. Dual language tour not as stated. Guide had good knowledge of Italica and spent the required time to inform both groups and answered all questions but no information about Game of Thrones sets or production other then phone pictures from internet. Which was the title of the tour.
