General
- What is Seville With a Local?
- A premium private-tour experience led by Johnny Candela, a born-and-raised Sevillian from Triana. Tours blend storytelling, history, food culture, and local insight to help guests feel the city, not just visit it. Learn more in the About section.
- What kind of tours do you offer?
- Private, flexible, story-driven experiences, including:
- How do I book a tour?
- The fastest way is via WhatsApp, using the button on each tour page. You can also book through the Contact page or by email at sevillewithalocal@gmail.com.
- Are the tours private?
- Yes. All experiences are 100% private, tailored to your pace, interests, and group size.
- In what languages are the tours offered?
- English and Spanish.
- How long are the tours?
- Most tours last 2–3 hours, but custom itineraries can be extended. Ask for a custom plan →
- Are the tours suitable for children or seniors?
- Yes. Routes can be adapted for families, seniors, or guests with mobility needs.
- Do you offer food tours?
- Yes — the Tapas & Local Food Tour includes authentic bars, traditional dishes, and local recommendations. See the tapas tour →
- Is transportation included?
- Walking tours do not include transportation. For day trips (e.g., Itálica), transportation can be arranged upon request.
- Do you run tours in the rain?
- Yes — Seville is beautiful in every season. If weather becomes extreme, we adapt the route or reschedule.
- How far in advance should I book?
- Two to three weeks is comfortable. In April (Feria & Semana Santa) and over Christmas, the earlier the better. Last-minute requests are always worth asking — sometimes I can.
- What's the group size?
- All tours are private — usually one to six guests. Larger families and small groups (up to ten) are no problem with notice.
- Do you offer tours in Spanish?
- Yes — tours run in fluent English or Spanish (and basic French if needed). Let me know your preference when you book.
- What about accessibility?
- Many parts of old Seville are cobblestone and step-heavy, but most tours can be adapted. Tell me about any mobility needs and I'll design accordingly.
