We loved the rail tour. The train was was fast and quiet. Our guide was a little hard to understand in Seville. They were prompt in picking us up.

Good. Confused with a meeting point at Seville. So that instructions are not enough

This was a great tour. We had to catch the train at 6.30 am in Madrid and arrived at Seville at 9.15 and went to a hotel near the station for the start of the tour. Our tour guide was very good and we enjoyed walking through the Jewish quarter (Santa Cruz). We had a tour through the Cathedral and then surprisingly the tour ended. We were stranded in the middle of Seville at lunchtime with no idea where we were but managed to eventually find a tourist information centre (not an easy task) and get a map. We had wanted to visit the Royal Palace (Real Alcazar) which we did. At the end of our tour our guide gave us various options to fill in the rest of the day but didn't mention the Alcazar which was on our wish list. He also pointed in the general direction of how to get to various places like the river but that proved not to be easy without a map. Our train back to Seville did not leave until 7.15 pm so we had plenty of free time in Seville but without a map were unsure of how best to use that time.

Do not buy this tour, it is dreadful. We didn't get anything that was promised in the advertisement.Had to pay for additional tickets to get into the only 2 places that the tour guide took us to. Tour guide dumped us after 2 hours and left us on our own with 7 hours to kill before our train back to Madrid. Very, very bad value.
