Private Seville Walk with Santa Cruz, Plus Optional Tapas or Flamenco

Three hours on foot with a private guide, entrance fees included, covering the Cathedral, the Giralda and the Royal Alcázar, and finishing in Santa Cruz. That last part is what separates this from the monument tours. Santa Cruz was the Jewish quarter of medieval Seville, and it is now a warren of whitewashed lanes and small squares between the Cathedral and the old walls. Walking it after the Alcázar puts the palaces in a city rather than on a map. The Cathedral is the largest Gothic church anywhere and holds the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The Alcázar is the old Arab palace, still the royal residence in Seville, and the reason Lawrence of Arabia and Game of Thrones both filmed here. The Giralda can be climbed at the end. Two things can be added to the booking. A tapas tasting of three dishes with three drinks, available on morning and afternoon tours. Or, on afternoon tours only, a flamenco show in a Sevillian house, an hour long, which the guide does not attend: their work ends before it starts. Children under five are not admitted to the show. Being private, the pace and the questions are yours.
