Why take a guided tour at all?

  • Entry is included. Tours hold their own time slots, so they often have space when official tickets are sold out.
  • The building makes sense. A guide explains how a Christian king came to build a palace in Islamic style, and what the inscriptions say.
  • Less planning. One booking, one meeting point.

If you have an official ticket already and enjoy exploring alone, you do not need a tour. The official ticket at €15.50 is the cheapest way in.

Which one should you book?

  • Booking weeks ahead, plans may change: the priority-access tour. Free cancellation lets you book early and decide later.
  • Only one morning for Seville's big sights: the combo tour. Note that it is non-refundable.
  • Tight budget: the official ticket.
