Seville Tours in May 2027

Tremendous holiday. Explore were efficient and helpful during the booking process and in answering our queries regarding the trip. The holiday itself was a great way to get a sense of the beauty, culture and history of Andalucia. It’s a fast paced and busy tour, but huge fun, and we really enjoyed the mixture of city and rural locations. Craig, our tour leader, worked incredibly hard throughout to organise the content and travel logistics, and gave us a fascinating overview of the region - covering the history, the political, economic, cultural and geological context (and in a way that was funny, accessible and effortlessly erudite). Cities and countryside were all stunningly beautiful, the food and wine delicious. I’d heartily recommend the trip.

The trip was very interesting. The group lead and the expert guides at the major sites were excellent. The transport between sites was good, the hotels and breakfasts good. There is a lot of walking. The trip gets a lot packed in. The trip itinerary should visit the Madinat al-Zahra (Medina Azahara) as this is a major site of Moorish Spain and is very close to Cordoba. I really enjoyed the trip.

Our trip took place from May 4–12, 2025. This was our first time to try Trafalgar. The hotels we stayed in were decent, though not particularly outstanding, even with their 4/5-star ratings. However, the service provided by our tour team more than made up for it. Our tour director, along with our driver and the rest of the tour guides, were exceptional. was especially impressive—always professional and courteous to all participants. We were pleasantly surprised by his willingness to go above and beyond, even taking the time to help my son search for coins to add to his collection, despite his busy schedule. I would gladly recommend Trafalgar based on this experience.

This is a full-on trip. You need energy and stamina with days starting early and ending late. Craig, our tour leader, was very knowledgeable and resourceful. He led from the front and coped calmly and compassionately in the event of an unfortunate accident to one of the party. Everything was as described and the optional activities very worthwhile. The main sights are breathtaking. Having the contrast of city and countryside worked well. Breakfasts are basic except at Craig’s own house, which was excellent, and all the accommodation clean albeit simple and occasionally noisy - ask for a quiet room away from street noise in the cities if you can. Craig offered an additional experience at the end of each day such as a walk in Granada to see the Alhambra floodlit or a visit to the oldest bar in Sevilla to sample sherry. Overall a fantastic and memorable experience which made me want to see more of Spain.

A lot was packed into 10 days and our excellent tour leader, Siri, made sure that we visited the most beautiful, iconic and mesmerizing places in the time available. She also looked after our individual interests and well-being very well.

The trip was wonderful. Just the right length, and variety. Accommodations were fine, breakfasts were very good, and the transportation was excellent. Explore does a good job of covering all necessary aspects of a trip. Our group leader, Siri, was superior in every way. She went out of her way to ensure an excellent trip. She was friendly, approachable, kind, considerate, and fun to be with. Above all, she showed great enthusiasm for her home country of Spain, and this was reflected in her orientations to the cities we visited, as well as recommendations for restaurants and our free time. She gets an A+ for her abilities as a tour guide.
