The route and the guide were beautiful in Seville. It was very nice to see these monuments and stately buildings while the guide explained details and dates. It was a pleasure to have seen a part of Seville in this way. Highly recommended.

Amazing - highly recommend the team at Surf the City, we had a fabulous tour. Go for the 10am slot as it’s cool and less busy at the beginning. The e-bikes make the tour so much fun! Enjoyed with our two teenagers.

Guided tour by Paolo. Honestly, it's really worth the detour, you visit the Marie Louisa park, just sublime with the Spanish Steps, really don't miss out on it, the guide is very very nice.

Fantastic, great history and food. I would suggest though you inform people when booking that tour first then food as a lot I have been on you stop and eat at multiple places.

nothing. Everything well explained. Pablo is a great guide :)
