Before you book
- Mondays
- The Alcázar de Colón is closed on Mondays. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.
- Early start
- On the 07:00 start the streets are quiet and the Alcázar is not yet open, so we see it from the square and walk the rest first.
- The cathedral
- It is a working church. Cover your shoulders and knees.
- Start time
- Starts at 07:00 or 13:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
- Language
- Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
- Cancellation
- Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.
