How to choose a private guide in Seville

Who will actually meet me? Some companies sell under one name and send whoever is free. Ask for the person, not the brand.

Is it truly private? Check that no other guests will be added and what the maximum group size is.

Can the route change? A private experience that follows a fixed script is a group tour with fewer people.

What do recent reviews say about the person, not just the places? The monuments are the same for everyone; the host is not.

How fast and how personally do they reply? The way someone answers your first message is the way they will look after you.

Is the cancellation policy clear before you pay?

Inside some monuments, such as the Alcázar and the Cathedral, visits run under their own rules and tickets should be booked ahead. Ask your host how they handle this before you arrive.
