Frequently asked questions

What's included in a private tour with Altai Turismo in Seville?
An official licensed guide, personalized routes, skip-the-line monument tickets arranged on request, and detailed historical interpretation. We adapt the pace and itinerary to your interests, with local recommendations and no crowds — authentic, exclusive attention for every guest.
How much does a private tour guide cost in Seville?
Altai Turismo private tours are priced per group, not per person — the same rate for 1–6 guests: from €120 for a 2-hour walking tour, €157–€284 for 3–4 hours with the Cathedral and Alcázar, and from €152 for the Córdoba day trip. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp and we send a fixed quote — monument tickets can be included.
What is the best time of year to visit Seville?
March–May and October–November are ideal: 18–26°C, long evenings and every monument open. July and August regularly pass 40°C — book early-morning tours. Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril are spectacular but need hotels booked 2–3 months ahead.
What are the best things to do in Seville in one day?
Start with the Cathedral & Giralda and the Royal Alcázar (book skip-the-line tickets ahead), wander the Santa Cruz Jewish Quarter, and end with an authentic flamenco show and a tapas crawl. A private licensed guide covers all of this comfortably in one day, tickets arranged.
Is it worth hiring a private guide in Seville?
Yes — a licensed local guide skips the queues, gets you inside the Cathedral, Alcázar and the Mosque-Cathedral with context you cannot get alone, and adapts everything to your pace. For first visits and short trips it saves time and turns sights into stories.
Can I book a guided tour in English or Spanish?
Yes. Every tour is available in English and Spanish, and you choose your language when booking. Our bilingual, officially licensed guides give clear, engaging explanations for international travellers and native speakers alike.
How far in advance should I book my guided tour?
We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead, especially in peak season, to secure guide availability and time to tailor the route. Ask about last-minute availability — we will always do our best to fit you in.
Are Altai Turismo guides officially licensed?
Yes — every guide holds the official tourist-guide licence, legally required to lead tours around the city and inside the Cathedral, the Royal Alcázar and Córdoba’s Mosque-Cathedral. Tours run in English and Spanish.
Are the tours comfortable for older travellers?
Yes. Every tour is private (1–6 guests), so the pace is set by you — with breaks for coffee, shade and benches whenever you like. Many of our guests are experienced travellers aged 40+, and routes can avoid stairs where possible.
