Originally built as a Moorish fortress, the Spanish Royal's use the upper apartments while visiting. Scenes from Game of Thrones seasons 5 and 6 were filmed inside the castle walls and and throughout it's gorgeous gardens.
Next to the Alcazar is the Cathedral of Seville - the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world. You and your private guide will explore the vast interior which includes various chapels as well as burial grounds to famous Spanish Royals.

Traveler reviews
Best way to see Alcazar and Cathedral especially if you like history and backstories
Pamen was our guide and she was professional and knowledgeable. She navigated the entrance and exits perfectly and the tour went much more smoothly than if we had gone on our own. Her details were so interesting and informative even though I knew a fair amount. I learned so much and she kept it moving for our 12 year old. The whole experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend see Alcazar & cathedral. It is not to be missed. Watch out for shops near area as they are touristy and sell poor quality.
Thank you Pamen!!!!
Pamen was incredible! I messed up our reservations with Pamen, we arrived 2 hours past our tour time. Instead of cancelling, she waited for us and gave us our tour, plus extra time! We toured the Cathedral in Seville and climbed the bell tower, so much beauty and history! Don’t miss the opportunity to climb the 34 ramps, it gives a beautiful view of the city and a chance to hear all about It! Pamen points out all kinds of information along the tour. We enjoyed our time with her and encourage those traveling to Seville to get on her schedule. Amazing and well worth it!
Great tour! Felt like a VIP
Our tour of Alcázar and Seville Cathedral was first class. Our guide Clara meet us at our cruise ship. She was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. We went before the crowds so it was very relaxed pace. Highly recommend this tour if in Seville.
