A Fascinating and Thoughtful Journey Through Seville’s Jewish History - We had an unforgettable experience on the Jewish walking tour of Seville’s Santa Cruz district with Julio as our guide. His passion for history and deep knowledge of the Jewish heritage in Spain made the tour both educational and emotionally moving. Julio guided us through narrow alleys and beautiful hidden courtyards, sharing stories that brought the past vividly to life. He was respectful, engaging, and always open to questions. This tour gave us a much deeper understanding of Seville’s layered history. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the city beyond its usual tourist spots.

A sound tour but you could easily do the route independently - All the arrangements went smoothly and the guide was professional and informative. Interesting to hear the various stories about the Jewish Quarter although they would've been even better had they more closely aligned with features that we were seeing. My conclusion is that you might be better off doing the walk with a good guide book especially if, like us, you're a bit toured out having gone round the Alcázar and cathedral with a guide.

A tour a Spanish Jewry should be thorough in the history of Jews. - Your guide was very nice though she tried to reach me through Smart App she did not seek out me or my party though we looked for her. But please educate your guides about Jewish heritage in Spain, including the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry and the significant role Jews played. Please also be clear about the Inquisition, which burned Jews at the stake because they were Jewish, in the auto de fe. A happy and productive people had to leave or be tortured and killed due to the Church. This has left a profoundly negative view of the Spanish Church for Jews that continues to this day and should be acknowledged. All in all, there was very little history of the Jews on the tour and little knowledge.
