What travelers say about Javier
5.0(5 reviews)- Lynn5 out of 5Mar 2026
We had an amazing 3 hour tour from Javier around the sights of the city of Seville. We have never before used a tour guide so we were open minded to try! Javiers communication prior to the tour was great. He went at our pace and made us feel very relaxed. His knowledge was great and delivered in a relaxed and warm manner. We loved it and would thoroughly recommend him ! We saw parts of the city we would not have seen on our own as well as the big sights. He also kindly helped us with some questions and recommendations for the rest of trip ! Thank you Javier we will hopefully be back to this amazing city soon .
