Sevilla en Alcazar Sla de wachtrij over vanuit de haven van Cadiz (alleen cruisers)

The tour surpassed my expectations. Our provided excellent background on Cadiz, neighboring villages, and Seville. In particular, I enjoyed her questions. It kept everyone engaged in the tour. She was clear on navigating the town and meeting point. Thank you so much for a memorable tour!

We were picked up at the cruise port we had been at on our cruise. Perfect and easy! Lived the tour and would do it again.

Let me start by clarifying: this is not a true small group tour. While the listing may imply a more intimate experience, the reality is that the tour involves three full-sized buses. Once at the destination, travelers are split into groups of about 12 to 18 people, but you’re still very much part of a large crowd. If you’re booking this to avoid the typical cruise ship excursions in favor of something more personal, you may be disappointed. Ironically, even the cruise ship might not have sent three buses to the same location at once! On the way to Seville, the buses stopped for a “bathroom break” at a gas station—but with three busloads of people, the wait for the restroom was nearly the full 30-minute stop. The one highlight was our guide, who was engaging and informative throughout the journey. The local guide in Seville was also excellent. However, the group size was still large enough to require headphones to hear the guide and a flag to spot them in the crowd, which was often made up of other groups from the same tour caravan. While the price might be lower than a cruise-booked excursion, the experience is not necessarily better. In fact, you might find fewer people on a similar tour booked directly through your ship. In summary, the tour listing should accurately reflect the actual scale of the experience. Had it mentioned that you’d be traveling with about 160 people on three buses, only to be divided into smaller walking groups upon arrival, I likely would have reconsidered. Transparency in the description would go a long way in helping travelers make informed choices.
