This day adventure was completely worth the money! It’s basically a bus ride to Seville and back. The tour guide, Ceila, provided a lot of interesting information about the country, the landscape, the agriculture along the way. Her English was great and easy to understand. The bus ride was comfortable and the ride wasn’t as long as I anticipated. There is an optional boat tour for 16 euros at the end of the day. In hindsight, I would have rather taken the time to tour the Moor Castle or just sit in a square and eat more tapas and wine. The boat tour wasn’t interesting. We had 5 hours of free time. I was able to go through the cathedral, go up the bell tower, walk up and down the shopping area, sit for a long lunch of tapas and wine, tour the bull fighting arena and do the boat tour. All this was done in low season however (January). I doubt I could have gotten so much in at high season. I highly recommend this trip!!

This was the best experience ever. Andre was a natural and an amazing tour guide. What a way to tour both cities. It was my partner's first time on a seaway and he just loved it. This is a must do experience. You will not regret it.

It was a very informative and interesting tour. The guide was fluently switching between languages. If you are in the driving distance from Seville it is a must-see! You will thank me later. Don't miss Square of Spain by no means.

This is great experience, I will definitely recommend to everyone to see beautiful city in one day. Very comfortable bus

I do not regret the activity. Very beautiful landscapes
