Cathedral and Giralda Private Tour
Discover the hidden secrets of the Cathedral of Seville
Cathedral and Giralda Private Tour
Mon - Tue - Wed - Thu - Fri - Sat - Sun (Approximately 1h 30 min.)
Designed to be one of the largest religious temples in the world, Seville Cathedral was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987 and an Asset of Outstanding Universal Value in 2010. The Cathedral has all the strength of its builders and all its symbolism will amaze you.
The old Aljama mosque in Seville was demolished and replaced by the Giralda. The minaret, the present Giralda and the famous Patio de los Naranjos remain from the original building. It is close to the Archivo de Indias, the Royal Alcazar and the famous Barrio de Santa Cruz.
For more than 150 years the Muslim temple was the centre of worship for the Christians, and in 1401 the cathedral council decided on the construction of a new temple. Work continued until the fifteenth century, until 1506. According to tradition, the canons wanted to build a church so large that “those who saw it finished would think we were mad”.
During the Renaissance period, various annexes were added to the Gothic temple, such as the sacristy, chapter house and royal chapel. Hernán Ruíz was also responsible for the construction of the last part of the Giralda, which, at 104 metres high, is visible from all over the city and is now an emblematic monument of Seville, housing the body of the bells.
During our tour, our official guide will accompany you to discover all the secrets and history of this magnificent architectural ensemble. We will discover the secrets hidden inside, such as the tomb of Christopher Columbus or the largest altarpiece in the Christian world.
After visiting the Cathedral, we will have the opportunity to stroll through the beautiful Patio de los Naranjos and, if you wish, climb to the top of the Giralda to enjoy the beautiful views over the city of Seville and take some excellent photographs to remember.

Rowena B2022-10-20All Around Great Tour Carlos was a wonderful guide. He incorporated what we wanted to see into the itinerary. He was very knowledgeable and lots of fun. He even helped me purchase train tickets to Madrid for the next day. Rhonda and the white villages were beautiful!Samantha L2022-09-25Birthday Tour Carlos was a great guide. We wanted to go on a wine tasting as well and they handled and coordinated it quickly and we added that into our day. It started to rain while we were at lunch and he parked as close as possible so we did not have to walk in the rain. He made the whole day very easy and enjoyable. I even paid a bit extra to have them pick us up at our home which was great as well.
Natty S2022-08-02Money well spent We absolutely loved our private tour to Ronda and surrounding villages. Sergio was amazing and knowledgeable and we liked him so much we tried to book another tour with him. Can’t recommend enough, the value is amazing!Greg2022-07-11Perfect day Amazing tour! Guido was a spectacular guide. Very knowledgeable and flexible and fun. We would one hundred percent do this again and would be delighted to have him as a guide anytime. The Pueblos blancos were gorgeous.Gayle W2022-06-27Do not miss this memorable day in Andalucia! We saw three unique towns in the region highlighting the stunning scenery and varied agriculture associated with each. Our guide was Guido who shared facts, history, and distinctive character associated with the region. He was informed, thoughtful, and helpful. At one point, Guido guided a person in our group to a store and interpreted in the process of replacing lost contacts which were originally from USA - an amazing feat. Our family of 8 unanimously recommend this tour and Guido, our guide!Vittorio P2022-05-07Visita guidata all'Alcazar di Siviglia La visita all'Alcazar è stata molto bella e interessante, sono rimasto affascinato dall'arte e dall'architettura araba.Léa2021-11-12Natudanda n’hésite pas !!
