Three things that happen in an hour
Not an audio guide. Not just a guided tour. Something else.
We hand you the glasses
Clear and light: you see the neighbourhood just as it is, plus something more. You don't have to touch a thing: the guide adjusts them and stays with you the whole way.
You follow the arrow
Through streets with centuries of history. As you walk, a voice tells you what happened on the very spot you're standing.
Someone appears. And you ask.
Standing on the spot where they lived. They talk to you and answer you, in your language. Who they are, you'll find out there.
Nine encounters between 1195 and 1875.
We won't tell you who with.
If we did, we'd spoil the best part: turning a corner without knowing who's waiting.
Can children come?
From 13: the glasses aren't certified for younger children. Teenagers tend to ask the most questions. The whole route is pedestrian.
I'm not a tech person
No need to be. We put the glasses on you, you follow an arrow and you talk. The guide handles the rest.
What about the heat? Or rain?
That's why tours run at sunrise and sunset, in the shade of the narrow streets. If it rains, we'll move your date or give you a full refund.
Groups and private tours
Each tour has 8 pairs of glasses. If there are more of you, or you'd like the neighbourhood to yourselves, we'll put something together for you.
Your group, your time
Up to 8 people, on the day and at the time you choose. For friends, families and couples who'd rather not share an alley with anyone.

More than 8? We run back-to-back sessions from the same meeting point. The price per person depends on the size of the group.

I wear prescription glasses
The tour glasses can't be worn over your own. If your prescription is mild, you'll usually see fine without them; if it's stronger, wear contact lenses. Not sure? Write to us before booking.
Will I be able to see in the Seville sun?
Yes: the glasses tint themselves, and tours run early and late in the day, when the light is softer. We never run tours at midday.
Where do we meet, and how do I get there?
In the Patio de Banderas, next to the Alcázar. Your guide waits by the street lamp in the middle of the square, facing the Giralda. Arrive 10 minutes early: handing out the glasses takes a few minutes.
I'm deaf. Will it work for me?
Yes. Each character's words appear as text in front of you, right there in the street, in the language you choose.
Can I cancel?
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before your tour. And if it rains, we'll move your date or give you a full refund.
Do I need to download anything or bring my phone?
No. We provide the glasses and the phone that goes with them. All you do is walk and ask.
Coming very soon
We're putting the finishing touches to it. There'll only be two tours a day, with eight places on each: if you'd like to be among the first, we'll let you know.
