Real GuruWalk and freetour.com reviews of the guides, quoted as written. They review the walks, not this site.
Fernando more than excels at his job. He provides an abundance of historical information with the right amount of passion, knowledge, energy and entertainment. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it.
We really enjoyed the tour. Cristina is very knowledgeable and made the 2 and a half hour both enjoyable and interesting. We got to know the main landmarks of the city and learn about the very interesting history of this beautiful town.
Gigi was an excellent guide. Really knowledgeable and passionate about Seville! She shows us all of the main sights and explained the history of the city. Highly recommended.
Miguel gave an excellent tour, he was very knowledgable about Seville and its history and had an engaging and humorous style. Providing headphones to hear every word he said was a bonus. Highly recommended. Thankyou Miguel.

The free walking tours in this directory, 29 in total, are free to join and each guest decides what to pay the guide at the end. The walks are listed on GuruWalk and freetour.com. GuruWalk listing pages show a platform guideline for the contribution, though no figure is printed here, and the walks on freetour.com are tip based, so the amount is always the guest's own choice.
