Choose between a one- or two-day trip to Granada from Seville.

The day trip to Granada from Seville gives you a guided tour of both the city and the fabulous Alhambra hilltop fortress are included. You also have time to explore on your own (hint: try the tapas, it comes free with your drink here!).

As the Alhambra is such a pain to get tickets to (they often sell out weeks in advance. and then there's the standing in line to get them), this tour is an excellent way to see one of the highlights of Spain, without the usual hassle.

On the two-day trip, you'll have a guided tour of the city of Granada on your first day, with a tour of the Alhambra on your second, with a lot more free time to explore the city than you have on the one-day trip. Accommodation is at a three- or four- star hotel.

2. Guided Tour of Cordoba (from Seville)

Choose between a one- or two-day tour of Cordoba from Seville.

The one-day trip features a tour of the Mezquita (great mosque), one of the highlights of the region, as well as a visit the nearby city of Cormona.

The two-day tour explores a lot more of the city. Click on the link below for more details.

3. Guided Tour of Ronda from Seville

Visit Spain's most famous pueblo blanco (white village). Built atop a deep ravine and the home of bullfighting, Ronda is also a great place to try locally produced wine.

Ronda is difficult to get to by public transport, especially from Seville, so a guided tour is an ideal way to get to the town.

4. Guided Tour of Jerez & Cadiz

Cadiz and Jerez are located virtually side by side in the south of Andalusia and are conveniently close to Seville, making this tour a nice trip for those who don't like spending a long time traveling.

The fact that two cities are included in a single day means that the logistics of getting from A to B to C and back to A again in the same day become a lot easier.
