6.Panoramic Cruise, Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus & Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 147 reviews · 1 day · from $45

See Seville from three useful angles in one day: a hop-on hop-off bus across 14 stops, a one-hour Guadalquivir cruise, and guided walks through Triana, Santa Cruz, Maria Luisa Park, and Plaza de España. Belén is one named guide praised for lively storytelling. Spanish and English tours are available.

“The cruise was lovely, nice to see the sights from the water, it gives a very different perspective to the city. Unfortunately we were not able to hear the commentary partly due to the quality and positing of the speakers, unfortunately these were drowned out by the loud and inconsiderate people behind us. Perhaps a phone based audio guide would be a good idea (along side the existing guide for those who don’t have smart phones.”
