Scenes from Game of Thrones seasons 5 and 6 were filmed inside the castle walls and and throughout it's gorgeous gardens.

Great experience
Clara was amazing! She was knowledgeable and informative. If I had to come back, I would want to do another tour with her again.
Excellent - Well Worth It
We had a three hour private tour of the Alcazar and Cathedral in Seville with Clara. It was very much worth the cost. Clara was a fantastic guide. It was such a pleasure to walk through the city and these extraordinary sites with her by our side offering interesting facts and perspective as a resident of Seville. Well done!!
Amazing, family friendly tour of Seville's iconic sites
We had an amazing experience. Our guide Pamen was incredibly knowledgeable and very thoughtful of the needs of my children, making sure they had ice cream and shady rest spots. She even brought candy for them as part of cultural trivia! Pamen also timed the visits so we would avoid most of the crowds, and she found small spots where we could discuss the cultural significance. We had a wonderful time, and highly recommend this tour.
