Private Tour Essential Seville: Triana and the Guadalquivir

The Guadalquivir is the thread that weaves Seville’s history, and on this private walk you will feel it up close. With your guide, you will be captivated by the city.

The Guadalquivir is the thread that weaves Seville’s history, and on this private walk you will feel it up close. With your guide, you will follow the riverside where Phoenicians, Romans and Muslims shaped the city, and from which expeditions to the New World set sail. Through stories of navigation and trade, you will discover how the river molded Seville’s cheerful, luminous character.

You will begin beside the Torre del Oro, the golden sentinel of the riverbank, to understand its defensive role and its ties to the historic port. The walk continues along the river promenades, with views of the docks and the bridges that link both banks. In front of the Maestranza BullringIn, enjoy an interior visit to see the arena and its small museum, and admire its elegant Baroque façade from the outside.

You will then cross the Isabel II Bridge to enter Triana, the quintessential seafaring and pottery quarter. Between Calle Betis, the market and the ceramics workshops, Triana displays its Roma, flamenco and artisan identity. Here you can pause for a photo with the river as your backdrop or take a short break (food and drinks not included) while hearing tales of sailors, singers and tiles.

Crossing back to the historic bank via the San Telmo Bridge, the walk leads to the gardens and pavilions of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. It culminates at the Plaza de España, a monumental stage of glazed tiles, fountains and semicircular galleries where Seville shows itself in full splendor. A perfect finale to understand how the city looked to the future without losing its roots.
