Algarve to Seville day trip with hotel pickup, Triana Bridge drive, Seville Cathedral, Royal Alcázar, Maria Luisa Park, St. Cruz and shopping.
“we were picked up on time, by minibus, and transferred to the main coach, after several pick ups, we headed to Sevilla, with a well timed coffee break on the way, we arrived still early enough to explore the cathedral, stop for a beer in a fabulous bar, which lead to us ordering a tapas each and sharing the very generous sherry, before heading to the river for the optional boat trip, which we loved. At the end of the trip, the coach was waiting for the return trip, with the well timed tea break. Yes, a very early start, but worthwhile to truly have sufficient time to enjoy what…”
