I was the only one who booked my time slot, so I ended up having a fantastic private tour with Javier! I really appreciated that the booking was honored and I got to have a much more in-depth experience. Javier is so passionate about the history, architecture, and storytelling of the Alcázar and gave a lot of detailed info. So glad I went!

Overall this was a good tour, but there was a lot on information. The guide tried to break it up with stories, but maybe a chronological review of some history at the beginning would’ve been nice. I also wish we toured a little more of the gardens. However, in the summer when it’s hot I can see how that’s not plausible.

Excellent experience ! Our guide was Javier and he was very friendly, informative, engaging and professional ! He has a wealth of info on the history of Alcazar. He noted that we were Game of Thrones fans and went on to show us many locations in the Alcazar that appeared in the show. We would highly recommend this tour as well Javier as your guide !!! Thank you for an unforgettable experience :)
