* Note that the transportation to Seville may be in a large motor-coach bus with other groups. The road to Seville is an uneventful drive on the highway. The large coach is the most convenient and eco-friendly way of transportation and is done for your benefit and personal space. There will be one stop along the way at the only place available, which is a Petrol Station type rest area. Once in Seville, you will tour in a small-group with your English speaking expert guide.

About this tour, from the operator
Leave the cruise port at Cadiz and spend a day in the Andalucian city of Seville! This full-day shore excursion includes a walking tour around the must-see neighborhood of Santa Cruz, a trip to the General Archive of the Indies, and viewing of Seville Cathedral and Royal Alcazar Palace (Reales Alcázares) — two UNESCO World Heritage sites. Skip the lines outside the palace with a priority-access entrance ticket, and admire its extravagant architecture before enjoying some free time. Enjoy personalized attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to 10-18 people once you arrive in Seville (transportation to Seville may be in a motor-coach bus for a more comfortable experience).
