ABOUT THE Free Tour of Seville
This 2.5-hour free walking tour through Seville's city center will show you some of the most famous attractions in the city. A local expert guide will take you to must-see spots such as Torre del Oro, Triana Bridge, Santa Ana church and much more! Explore stunning architecture and charming neighborhoods as you discover 2,200 years of history, all of it enjoying the unique views of the city from the neighborhood of Triana.
Your Seville Free Tour meets behind Torre del Oro, at Paseo Alcalde Marqués del Contadero, and finishes in Plaza del Altozano. We never cancel; tours run rain, hail or shine.
A unique identity from a range of rulers
Various ancient civilizations and rulers from diverse religions have made their way through Seville. From the Tartessians to the Romans, from the Muslims to the Christians, Seville’s eclectic 2,200 year history has given it the unique culture it has today, which is especially prominent as we take you through the narrow streets of the Triana neighborhood, birthplace of Flamenco and Seville’s iconic “red district” during the XVIth century.
The rise and fall of Seville
This free tour of some of Seville’s top sites and monuments will tell you the story of Seville’s great rise and dramatic fall. While trading made Seville very wealthy, the abundance of riches attracted many people from England, Flanders and Grenada. This diversity is reflected in Seville’s iconic architecture like the Cathedral-Giralda.
Seville today
The old meets the new in Seville today, where modern additions are combined with a healthy respect for history. Where you’ll find centuries-old architecture and charming traditional flamenco clubs, you’re also likely to discover the new network of biking paths, contemporary art, food and design.

What is a Free Tour?
The Free Tour is the best introduction to Seville! A general overview tour including many of the highlights of the city, the Free Tour usually lasts around 2.5 hours and is provided by a local freelance guide in partnership with SANDEMANs NEW Europe, so tour content can vary depending on your guide’s particular area of interest and expertise.
The Free Tour is a walking tour with no need for public transport and is designed for independent travellers, not groups. You can book your spot in advance online or simply show up at the start point on the day. There is no payment necessary at the start of the tour but you are welcome to tip your guide at the end!
We believe in supporting local communities and are committed to giving a voice to some of Seville's best local freelance tour guides, who passionately share the city's history and culture with their own unique and always-entertaining style. They'll never pressure you to tip; we believe that, if money is given, it should be voluntary and in direct proportion to the quality of the tour and the budget of the traveller.
