Detailed itinerary

Private tour of the beautiful Seville with private English-speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of this spectacular place. / / Seville has an amazing rich history. The Romans once ruled the whole of Spain for over six centuries and changed the structure of the countryside and towns by building aqueducts and straight roads to link all the major towns.
However, the Muslim invaders had the most lasting effect on Seville. Their Dynasty lasted almost 800 years in Andalusia from 711 until 1492 when finally, the Catholic monarchs defeated the Muslim kingdom of Granada.
Most of the Seville´s most impressive buildings are the legacy to this period.

Following the fall of the kingdom of Granada, Spain entered a period of prosperity and expansion. The discovery of the New World made Seville one of the most affluent cities anywhere in Europe.
Up to 18th century, Spain had now fallen into economic disarray.
