Go on a tour with Abby! - Abby our tour guide in Seville, was super good. Her knowledge and passion for the lesser-known areas made the tour very interesting. Abby's attention to detail and personalized recommendations made the tour perfect. I highly recommend her if you want to discover the hidden gems of Seville.

Great tour for more in-depth exploration of a neighborhood - We very much enjoyed our two-hour "Off the Beaten Path" walking tour of Sevilla. There were just the two of us, so we had the undivided attention of our guide, Nico.
He was friendly and knowledgeable (and spoke EXCELLENT English!) and he included lots of interesting little tidbits of information about the neighborhood we explored. This is a great tour to take if you've already seen the "usual" sites and want to learn a little more about some of the parts of the city that aren't necessarily in a guidebook.

Off the beaten path - With Abby as our guide we had a great tour in Seville!
Enjoyed Mercado de Feria, its Jamon Iberico and Almendras,.. the Live&Work project,
Convent, street market and whatever came along
Abby was very easy in connecting with the people involved with the highlights we met.
The only downside is the location to meet up. Was difficult to find!
Thanks Abby!!

What a fun and different tour! Our guide Abby made it so great! - My 21 yo daughter and I love our Off the Beaten Path tour with Abby! We wondered around the area of Seville where the Sevillians live! We walked into shops and markets and even rang the bell of a cloistered convent. Sister came to the door, welcomed us in (even though they are closed on Mondays) and we bought some marmalade. We popped into churches and saw the Mushrooms. Abby was very personable and we laughed and talked. Abby made this a success. The only downside is the location to meet up. Our taxi dropped us at the correct spot but the address is hidden. Abby found us and we were ok, but Not Just A Tourist did this with another tour as well. There's no reason not to chose a better, more identifiable meet up spot. Thank you Abby!!

Fun sights of every day life in Sevilla! - Loved seeing another side of Sevilla! Our guide was very personable and we strolled into places like an olive store, flower market, churches, the mushrooms, and rang the bell of a cloistered convent. A sweet little nun opened the large metal door and we bought some marmalade from her despite not being open for business. All of this because of Abby who was so kind and respectful. It really was a lovely way to spend the morning. The meeting point is weird. I'd suggest the same address and then telling people to walk across the street to the plaza and the statues there.

Wonderful guide helped us discover our neighborhood - Julia, our charming and well informed guide met us promptly and took us off around the streets of our neighborhood (Macarena/Almeda) pointing out all kinds of interesting shops, restaurants and nooks and crannies of local life. We have already lunched at one of her recommended places and look forward to visiting others and enjoying some flamenco which she was very passionate about. Thanks Julia.

Intimate Tour of Sevilla - We spent 8 hours walking around Sevilla. We spent a few hours with Beatriz touring the cathedral and the Alcazar palace and then spent the rest of the day with Alba. We had tapas and saw amazing things while getting so much historical information about Sevilla and Spain that was new to us. Mahsa has been so responsive and helpful in putting together our tour and is always ready to give recommendations of where to eat or where to stay. Beatriz was warm and engaging and Alba was fantastic. This deserves more than 5 stars

A private guide to Seville - We met Michael and Fred at the Alemeda de Hercules to begin our tour none of us had been to Seville before so we were open to learning whatever we could. As we strolled through the streets (almost always in the shade on a hot sunny day), Michael and Fred shared with us information on the cultural, religious and architectural history of Seville as well as information about current life in the city. Our tour was about 21/2 hours and took us to several different neighborhoods and gave us a great introduction to Seville.

Enjoyable but overpriced - We had a great tour guide who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. That being said, of the seven or so similar tours we took during this trip, this one was completely overpriced (and non refundable to boot!). And, there was no drink provided as described on the tour description. That's why I gave it only 3 stars. Also, if you are going to do this tour, recommend the daytime as a lot of places were closed when we were there. (We had to do the evening tour due to scheduling)
