Very enjoyable tour off cruise from Cadiz port Seville - Our Cadiz to Seville tour was on one of the better weather days off our cruise. We were picked up on time at the cruise gate (in fact although we were there we got messages asking us where we were!). We were booked in a group of 12 and as explained beforehand we travelled with another group in a large coach - which was very comfortable. The guide was very informative and friendly for the 1.5 hour journey to and back from Seville. Unfortunately I do not recall his name which I think began with an A. When we got to Seville we were split into 2 smaller groups and our guide was the lovely Noemi. She was absolutely terrific throughout - very knowledgeable and helpful. We were all issued with headphones to listen to her guiding, which was very clear. Having driven in Seville passed the country "pavilions" we started at Plaza de Espana, not a square at all! Having heard information and taken photos there we then moved on to the old Jewish quarter which was very interesting to see and hear about. After a short break we moved on to the Alcazar, the main part of the tour, where Noemi guided us around giving us lots of information throughout. I think that took us about 90 minutes in all and at the ned Noemi was also happy to take those who wanted to a special art exhibition going on inside. She then left us and we really enjoyed her tour. We then had I think about 45m time for something to eat and if we wanted walk around the cathedral and area, before meeting altogether and walking through the town to the bullring area by the river, again seeing interesting sights, on our way back to the coach. We arrived back after 15.30, with our cruise departing at 16.30, even giving us a little time in Cadiz. Overall - excellent day and tour.

Spain Day Tours Delivers! - We just did two tours with Spain Day and loved both of them. The first was to Seville from Cadiz, the second to Alhambra from Motril. It was early December, so the tours only had about 25-30 people. They transported us in a large bus (with plenty of room to spread out because it had so few passengers) to each location. They had a tour guide on board who gave plenty of information. When we arrived at both Seville and the Alhambra, we broke into small groups with 10-12 people and a new guide. All the guides were great and gave us plenty of history and flavor. Our favorite was the Alhambra just because it's such an amazing place to visit. Seville is about 90 minutes from the port, while the Alhambra is about 60 minutes away. In both cases, Spain Day tours made sure we were back in plenty of time before the all aboard time. Great tours and much cheaper than using the ship excursions. I'd absolutely recommend them.

Outstanding Tours in Barcelona and Seville - We took two tours with Spain Day Tours from the Sun Princess in our ports Barcelona and Cádiz (Seville). Both tours were well-organized and outstanding. Spain Day Tours communicated frequently and clearly prior to each tour with reminders about expectations as well as the meeting time and location. We were met promptly at the cruise port and escorted to our van (for Barcelona) and bus (for Seville). The Barcelona City Tour was everything we had expected and more. Elena was a professional and energetic guide. Her enthusiasm for Barcelona and Gaudi was evident. Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia were absolutely fantastic. We learned so much about the architect Gaudi and his influence from Elena. We made several photo stops at other locations, too. It was truly an enjoyable and memorable day. The Seville tour exceeded our expectations, too. Our guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The guided walking tour of Seville gave us so much detail about the architecture and history of the area. We especially loved the guided tour of the Alcazar and all the interesting details provided. What a beautiful place! It was a full, memorable day of touring that we thoroughly enjoyed. We give these tours and Spain Day Tours our highest recommendation. We will recommend Spain Day Tours to others and will definitely use them again when returning to Spain!

Four great tours! - During our cruise, we took tours with Spain Day Tours in four of our ports, Palma de Mallorca, Malaga, Cartagena and Cadiz. Each tour was well run and enjoyable. There was free time built in to exploring each city. Communication leading up to the cruise was clear and well done. Questions were promptly answered. We would definitely recommend them to others and will use them again when the opportunity presents itself.

Best tour company in Spain - This company is really top notch! Starting with the customer service and great communication all the way to a fantastic tour! The tour was exactly as advertised and included a guide to really help understand a lot of history. We used Spain day tours for multiple tours and were very happy with all of them! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an excursion!! The tours were much cheaper than through the cruise ship, and they were with smaller groups. The guides were easy to find at the ports, knowledgeable, and paid much attention to keeping the group on the time schedule needed.

Beautiful spots in Seville - We started with a one and a half hour ride to Seville from port while guide gave us information and history along the way. Once we arrived we visited the Olympic plaza which was pretty amazing and built in 1929 then we drove to the stop for Alcazar Palace and made our way through narrow streets to the Palace which is also very amazing!! After about an hour of free time we met at our designated spot and walked back to the bus for our ride back to port and was dropped off right at our ship. The cathedral was also just outside the palace but didnt have time to go through it but rather stopped at a nice little spot for some lunch

Highly Reputable, Spain Day Tours - We used Spain Day Tours for the Seville & Alcazar tour from our cruise port of Cadiz rather than using the cruise lines tour. Their pre tour communication was reassuring and helpful since we had never been to Spain and also had concerns about getting back to the ship on time. The guide was very aware of timing and schedules and kept us on pace while still not rushing our experience. Very knowledgable guide, Gram? I believe was his name. The history related to us was amazing and we had about an hour and a half free time to explore the beautiful area around the Alcazar. Highly reputable company and we would use again and recommend.

Forget cruise ship organised shore excursions, go with Spain Day Tours - Our group of 4 could not have been more happier with the shore excursion arranged by Spain Day tours. From the start they were extremely friendly and professional in their communication, they even collected our booked tickets to Seville Cathedral that we had purchased privately. The tour was a fantastic experience and we visited places that we did not get to see 10years ago, and the guides were great in their pace and explanations. Spain Day Tours is easily one of the best companies we have dealt with in over 40 years on independent travel. Kevin Camp Australia
