The Cathedral iself is awesome, of course. That's why we are here. And in the event, the ticketing and entrance to it was just fine, as there was no queue to skip so 'skip-the-line' was unneceaasry'. Two hours later there was a HUGE queue, being carefully policed. See emails for my problem acessing tickets however. Your App is not easy and intuitive to use. The Audioguide was a complete washout, as it reqired a "Validation Code" to function and nowhere on the ticket nor your communications, app, or emails to me was there such a number. Obvious or not. Thus we had no other guidance during our visit than the heavily theological propaganda of the Catholic establishment.

The amount of oppulance is overwhelming. I visited 10 years age, and it is still staggering beyond my imagination. The architecture and craftsmanship today cannot compare to this (mathematical genius). Workers with minimal tools but devoted in great faith created one of the greatest cathedrals world over.

Guide was excellent. He knew his subject well and answered direct questions about Seville cathedral and the Giralda tower that he may not have been expected to know. Being able to skip the queues (and it was very busy leading up to Holy Week) was a real bonus. The cathedral and Giralda tower are well worth visiting and well worth paying for the speedy entrance and guide.

I also liked the Giralda and the Alcazar, but I recommend the former only for people with healthy legs, because you can get up on a 35-turn ramp. True, there are little window boxes with seats for resting.

Wonderful place, I really didn't want to leave! The garden is just breathtaking. Get the ticket in advance! Beware, the ticket controllers are strict. My friend is a flight attendant and her flight was suddenly moved to an earlier one. She had a ticket to the Alcazar but of course would like to get in earlier so she wouldn't miss work. The security didn't let her in and there was no possibility to switch time slot or get your money back.

Seville is beautiful and offers an infinite number of magnificent sights for people interested in art history. The view from the Giralda over the sea of houses in Seville is fantastic.

Alcazar was very beautiful to look at. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit the gardens due to the weather. You can move around freely and see everything at your leisure. In the low season, things are also more leisurely. It makes sense to buy tickets in advance. The Cathetral is definitely a must-see. The bell tower offers a fantastic view over Seville from the top. Simply fantastic.

Punctuality of appointments and pick-up! On the other hand, some rather cavalier schedule changes the day before could have caused us to cancel our visit by moving it from 1:00 pm to 11:00 am. All the more so as we learnt that the morning of the tour was partially booked. 11H00: Cathedral+Giralda and 15H00: The Alcazar.

very good guides. BUT I was not informed that the tour was postponed by 2 hours. The subcontractor (concierge sthose) claims to have sent me an email. I received nothing, not even via the Head Out app. Maybe they sent via What's app. If that's the case, they should let us know because when you arrive from overseas, you don't necessarily have access to your cell phone number. In short, it was the guides who saved the day, because I was really frustrated at having to change my entire day's schedule without notice. I will not do business with headout again.

The guided tour of around 1 1/2 hours in the heavily frequented cathedral included information that was told at lightning speed by the guide and he also paid too little attention to the fact that not all participants are equally good or fast on foot. We had some older people in our group. Otherwise, everything was fine.

The Cathedral is a unique monument and this was well explained to us by the passionate and knowledgeable guide. Thanks to this man, who speaks Italian very well, we learned not only the historical news but also the chronicles of the time relstive to Christopher Columbus. Interesting, beyond any doubt, I suggest without fear of contradiction. Thanks again to the guide

The guide was great. Very professional. She knew how to lead the group and her explanations were enjoyable and interesting. The visit was on schedule but was short. It is true that in the description the duration is advanced. I do not feel cheated but the cathedral of Seville gives for at least half an hour more. The impression is that there are many things left unfinished.

The tour was pleasant, a little difficult to remember everything, but the guide answered visitors' questions with ease. The most impressive part of the tour was the lovely view of the Giralda from the orange tree courtyard. Sublime.

How did La Giralda Seville come to be?
La Giralda history
The Seville Cathedral Tower was one of the minarets of the Almohad Mosque and was built somewhere between 1184 and 1198. The tower’s design was inspired by the minaret of Koutoubia which is probably the most significant mosques in Morocco today. While the tower is a fine example of Arab architecture, it has served as an inspiration for many iconic buildings in and around Seville including the the Alcázar and the Torre del Oro.
Built more than 800 years ago, the Seville Cathedral Tower is also considered the oldest building in Seville. There was a great sense of urgency to build a great mosque when Seville was declared the capital during the Almohad rule between 1121 and 1169. The Seville Cathedral was originally the great mosque of Seville and the tower was one of its minarets - a testament to the city’s intertwined history.
The minaret became a bell tower when King Ferdinand captured Seville in 1248 and converted the great mosque into the magnificent cathedral we see today.
History of Seville CathedralLa Giralda architecture
There have been significant additions to the original tower since it was built in the 12th century. While the tower’s structure was initially built in Arab or the typical Islamic style, the architecture changed gradually once the Arabs left Seville. The Seville Cathedral Tower which we see today is a confluence of Moorish and Renaissance architecture.
The intricate geometry combined with bricks and stones showcases the tower’s Islamic heritage and architectural style. Legend has it that there was a copper sphere on top of the minaret which disappeared after an earthquake in 1365. Many elements from the Arab era were replaced with Christian symbols including the holy cross in the 14th century. The Seville Cathedral Tower which we see today was designed by Hernán Ruiz, a Spanish Renaissance architect.

Guide was excellent. He knew his subject well and answered direct questions about Seville cathedral and the Giralda tower that he may not have been expected to know.
Being able to skip the queues (and it was very busy leading up to Holy Week) was a real bonus.
The cathedral and Giralda tower are well worth visiting and well worth paying for the speedy entrance and guide.

Punctuality of appointments and pick-up! On the other hand, some rather cavalier schedule changes the day before could have caused us to cancel our visit by moving it from 1:00 pm to 11:00 am. All the more so as we learnt that the morning of the tour was partially booked. 11H00: Cathedral+Giralda and 15H00: The Alcazar.

Beautiful experience that is worth the price of the ticket especially if done with a tour guide, I highly recommend the skip the line which we did and it allowed us to enter without waiting, there is a kiosk inside, a little expensive, but it is all part of a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
