(Guaranteed small group)

What you will find on the tour to Seville:

Coming to Spain is like going to Rome and not visiting the Vatican. It’s unforgivable.

A large part of the stereotypes about Spain actually come from Andalusia, and especially from Seville. Seville may be the liveliest city in Spain, and perhaps in the world. One can attend a flamenco show at various places. But the big surprise is that you can enjoy that show right on the street. That is priceless.

Seville has Arab influence from a time when the Arabs were much more sophisticated than the Christians. Seville was the city that connected trade with the Americas during the peak of the Spanish Empire’s glory.

And its cuisine is unique. It is the best city in the world for tapas, where you can experience hopping from bar to bar and changing the atmosphere with each stop.
