An essential experience! - Unbeatable!! A very interesting and complete visit, also very rigorous and surprisingly enjoyable. Ruben’s (our guide) ability to convey what life was like at the time and how that translates to the different elements of the visit is incredible (both outside and inside the building). I am from Seville, and I would recommend it as essential both to Sevillens and people from outside. Thank you very much for the experience!

An enjoyable and interesting immersion in an entire era - Spectacular experience. The visit was super complete, kept you 2 hours with total interest. It was noticeable that the guide was a highly trained person and that he had prepared the route with great interest, giving interesting and enjoyable information. It is curious that a visit to a single building allows you to get an idea of a whole historical stage. Super recommended!

Archivio de Indias - free to the public - Had I known I could have saved some money - The guide spoke very fast in Spanish - difficult to understand; no English guide available. While during the tour portions of the Archivio de Indias were closed because of a special "exploration" exhibit inauguration (from 20 September to January 2025) later the access to the Archivio and the new exploration area was opened after the tour guide left. Accessing the Archivio without a guide is free and also the exploration exhibit newly opened is free. Not worth the paid guide. For those who investigate documents across the street the Archivio with the original documents stored can be viewed free of charge against showing of passport/identity credentials and the filling out of two forms which include the Archivio's regulations. Archivists are very very helpful and forthcoming...In case of consultation you get a password for the Archivio's platform and it is possible entering the Archivio with its own computer.
