From the guide

The Royal Alcazar is the most popular attraction in Seville, so it's not uncommon to find hours-long lines outside. Skip the wait and make the most of your time on this tour offering VIP early access an hour before the site officially opens to the public. You'll have the palace and its gardens all to yourself for a memorable morning and be able to fully appreciate their grandeur in a way that’s just not possible among the usual daytime crowds.
