About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Companion5677480 contributionsWe enjoyed Seville, but will not use the hop on hop off in Seville, lack of customer service.We took lots of photos, Seville was amazing, food was delicious. But the hop on hop off experience with one of the driver “the baldy tall one” we rode in front of El Corte Ingles around 10:40 and 15:45 with the same driver who was very rude.Written 23 January 2025
- fhendricks30 contributionsExpensive boat trip with very little to seeThis trip takes you up and down the same channel and takes approximately one hour. There is not much to see and we thought we’d be able to get beautiful views of the sunset but sadly that was not the case. Tickets are 20 euros per person so all in all it was a waste of time and money. I would not recommend that you spend this much money on this boat trip. However, if you haven’t been on a boat trip and you can afford to pay this amount then you should give it a try.Written 29 December 2024
- Explorer072074277160 contributionsA total scam!!! Royal Palace Madrid SpainA total scam!!! Their website seems the official Royal Palace website. They sell the tickets two times more expensive. The audioguide never worked.Written 11 December 2024
- 80lennyd0 contributionsScam visit Royal palace Madrid with audio guide. Don't buy entrance royal palace bij pancho toursWe bought 2 tickets with audio guide to visit tha royal palace in Madrid with audio guide through Pancho tours. They made a website pretending to be an official website of the royal palace.... Tickets cost 75 euros for 2 persons. They don't send the tickes right away, only a reservation confirmation. nobody answers the whatsapp or phone when you call them, they make you wait more than 1 hour, to send you then 2 tickets wit a 14,77 euro per person..... the audio link they send does not work. This is a real scam. Shame on them to make such advantage of the touristsWritten 4 December 2024
- eavega0 contributionsDON'T USE THIS COMPANY IN MADRIDABSOLUTE SCAM!!! Shame on me for not verifying what I was looking at, but I thought I was on the official Madrid Palacio Real site, but somehow got a link to something that was called Walker Tours (serviced by Pancho Tours. I say this because that is who issued the "tickets"). While I did in fact get 2 tickets for an appointment time to tour the Palacio Real in Madrid, they charged me almost triple what the tickets would've cost on the official site (the tickets are about 14 Euros per person on the official site, but I was invoiced 81 Euros for two adult tickets). Now they did include the "audio tour" which is a 3 Euro add on through the official site, but just to boot when I got the tickets which included supposedly a link to the audio tour the link tries to take you to the official Palacio Real app however the link was dead. Additionally the code that they provided was invalid with no explanation of how to get a valid code. I attempted to contact them via e-mail, whatsApp, and phone all to no avail. Nobody answered. I feel their customer service is horrible, and given the premium they charged me for the tickets and the sneaky way they manipulated the search algorithm to bubble up to the top of the search they are not a reputable outfit to work with. To be clear, though, they seem to mostly operate in Seville, so I can't make any claim to how they operate in Seville. I just know that I feel well and truly scammed for the tour in Madrid.Written 15 November 2024

- 900zevf0 contributionsSeville is beautiful. Don't miss it.The Alcazar and the Jewish quarter are the reason to go to Seville. They are amazing. The Alcazar has gotten crowded with long lines to wait and get in. You can buy a tour at the gate and get in with no wait. It was really worth the money. Interesting and an incredible time saver.Written 31 October 2024
- Leahsroom060 contributionsTERRIBLE EXPERIENCE for my parents and I!!! DON'T SIGN UP AND SAVE YOUR MONEYThis was a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE for my parents and I. We had the hardest time getting assistance from Tripadvisor, Aviator and the Pansho tours. They lost our ticket and did not show up in their system. More importantly, the tour guide barely gave any assistance and said, reach out to the company via whatsapp. He said it's the best way for a response. Via whatsapp wasn't any better. They kept saying we weren't in the system and I shared a copy of our confirmation/voucher. Nothing. We weren't able to join the tour or get a refund or any kind of proper support. No refund was given or a coupon for a new booking. NOTHING. We lost about $300.00 and walked away w no tour and terrible customer service. DO NOT HIRE THIS TOUR. You will NOT GET THE SUPPORT NEEDED and will loose all your money.Written 29 October 2024
- joannecb280 contributionsMeh - a little lukewarmOur experience with this tour was a little disappointing. I think our guide was getting over a cold and he struggled to be heard. We were a fairly large group, so headsets might have been a good idea. The content that was shared was interesting (such as details about Christopher Columbus' bones being moved so many times). We were given the choice to go up the stairs to the tower, but told it wasn't that big of a deal and it was 34 ramps, so most of us (all but two people) opted to just walk around the cathedral on our own afterwards. I was really looking forward to this tour because of all the positive reviews, so I might have just gotten the wrong person, or got him on the wrong day.Written 25 October 2024
- juliebG5678GB0 contributionsTerribleReally poor experience. Uncomfortable plastic freestanding chairs, bored sounding commentary, terrible value for money. Stupidly I didn’t read the reviews before spending €80 on four ticketsWritten 23 October 2024
- GoingGuide0 contributionsWhat a view!This is a must-do if visiting Seville! The tower of the Cathedral gives amazing views from the top of the whole of Seville a d way beyond. There are also plenty of places to stop as you ascend or descend the tower each with their own advantageous views. The walk to the top is gradual slope rather than steps, which makes it easier to ascend. It's well worth the inexpensive cost. Definitely a must-do. Best to book the tickets online in advance.Written 21 October 2024
- N144DQthomasb0 contributionsTour guide a no-show and refund refusedWe booked this tour of the Seville Cathedral, but the tour guide did not show up. We requested a refund, but TripAdvisor refused. They claim that the tour operator reported that their guide was there, which is simply false. We were at the designated meeting point 10 minutes before the start time and waited until 20 minutes after. No guide ever showed up. If you book with TripAdvisor, you risk losing your money.Written 13 September 2024
- ianewest0 contributionsStay well clear.I have to assume this company has stopped operating. I booked (and paid for) a private tour of Jerez months ago but, three weeks ahead of the due date I have received no instructions. Emails bounce and no-one answers the phone. I'll claim the money back from my credit card provider and book with someone else.Written 5 September 2024
- martharJ6001VP0 contributionsEnjoy the Guadalquivir!We went to the pier thinking that having our tickets would get us on board. This was not the case. Luckily we arrived very early and the attendant with another boat company was able to retrieve the list of passengers and validate our tickets. Not sure if it was something I did or didn't do but it was a bit stressful. Had we known, we would have just purchased our tickets at boarding location. We just wanted to make sure we had tickets in hand and not miss the opportunity. The trip itself was very calming and easy going. Refreshments are available on the ship. If you need a relaxing couple of hours, this is the trip.Written 24 June 2024

We booked Granada day trip. At the day before our trip, the tour informed that they couldn't find the tickets for Alhamba for us. They gave us the choices of refunding the fee or changing to another destination. We have nothing to do on that day so we chose changing to Cordoba. Our driver and tour guide, Gonzalo and Anna were very nice. I appreciated them. But the cost of day trip to Cordoba actually cheaper than to Granada. We should get the compensation by Pancho tour.

We were told if you do not take the walking tour you will be dropped off in Granada centre to spend a couple of hours but they drop you off away from the centre and after walking the whole of Alhambra it made it hard t walk in the heat and find a decent restaurant for lunch many were closed in the afternoon too.

I would give a 0 if I could. I booked a private Granada tour from Seville weeks in advance. I was charged right away and was told no changes or cancellations allowed. Just for them to cancel my tour 5 days before the tour with no explanation provided. How is this ethical? This is an extremely unprofessional tour company! I have never given a bad review, but I need to warn others, so their vacation is not ruined. We unfortunately were not able to visit Granada with such short notice since everything was already sold out! They were so quick to take my money though!

We used the services of Pancho Tours for our recent trip to Granada. Pablo Garcia Simarro was our tour guide.
We had an amazing experience and are very satisfied with both Pablo and Pancho Tours. We highly recommend them because:
1. Comfortable experience with professional service: Pablo arrived early and had a clear plan of action for the day. The vehicle was comfortable. In Granada, Pablo selected suitable spots to park the car and where it made sense, he hired a local taxi for us. We were clear about what to do during the tour inside the Al Hambra thanks to Pablo.
2. The walking tour on the hill facing the Al Hambra: This was a unique way to walk around in Granada, see and learn about Granada and Al Hambra. We got interesting insights into the architecture, the local people, their customs, etc. The stop in front of Flamenco legend Enrique Morente's house was cool. The walk ended in a plaza that had a good restaurant where we enjoyed good Alhambra brewed beer and tasty Paella.
3. More than just an introduction to Al Hambra: Pablo is very knowledgeable and was keen to share with us interesting insights into Andalucian culture, history, etc. Thanks to him, we got to learn about the greats of Flamenco - Camaron De La Isla, Paco De Lucia and Enrique Morente. The Spring Festival in Seville. The local sherry drink Manzanilla. And, many more nuggets of interesting information about Spain in general and Andalucia in particular. Finally, an awesome restaurant in Seville (Bar Pelayo).
We recommend to our friends visiting that region to consider using the services of Pancho Tours and if they do, to ask for Pablo to be their tour guide.

Visited Seville during the busiest season (Santa Semana) and realized on the day of arrival that I cannot get into the most popular group tour offered on tripadvisor for Granada day tour. As such, only this Pantho Tour product is available for the date we chose. Booked online and for a group of 3 (a couple and a 5 year old boy) the total price was about EUR130 more expensive than the group grou, but given it offers a private car and a private tour guide, think it will be worth it. But it turned out that i was wrong.
After booking and payment of this high price, until 8am on the date of travel (designated departure time), no one ever called or contacted me for confirmation of booking though i did get an email confirmation and a one liner email asking which hotel we are staying.
On the morning of the travel, i was really worried that maybe no one will turn up. I waited at the hotel entrance starting 7:50 (designated departure time is 8am) and no one turned up. At around 8:08, a small Opel car showed up and there was our "guide" Anthony, or Tony as he prefers.
On the first communication, i start to realize that he has very strong accent and is not fluent in English. What makes it worse is that he doesn't have any passion or commitment to engage in any meaningful conversation. What makes it worse is that he is very inexperience and unfamiliar with the area and he doesn't know how to be a "tour guide" in addition to a "driver."
We were let into the car and name was confirmed. Nothing else, no introduction of the day, no planning, no timing arrangment, nothing. He was just driving.
I asked if he would offer some introduction to Alhambra and the old town of Granada on the road as we were indeed borne out. Tony said, "yes i can give you some information if you need them."
THe first stop is the "guided tour" in the albaicin old town area. Tony parked the car outside the old town area and we immediately started the random walk which turned out (as we figured out on google map) to be farther and farther from the histortic center of albaicin. We showed him where we were walking towards is actually Sarcromonte which we have zero interest in, that's when he realized and started to say that it is supposed to be a free walk and he will just accompany us. We end up relying on google map ourselves to locate some of the points of interest and all Tony can introduce is like this is a famous church and this is the place to take pictures of Alhambra etc.
We found no fun at all and thus decided to call off the "walking tour" early so we can use the time for our "self-guided" tour in Alhambra. This is the other downside of this tour - they don't offer Alhambra walking tour. It is self-guided. Fine, to be honest, if we were to be in there with Tony, it could be worse. We hired the audio guide and it turned out to be pretty good.
After around 3 hours in Alhambra, we met Tony at the designated place (with a less than 10 min walk as he cannot park near the entrance).
Anyway, if you cannot find any ticket for Alhambra and you have no choice but to use them - most of the group tours are organized by the same company (at least based on dates availalbe, it seems that once the biggest offerer becomes unavailable for a certain date, others become unavailalbe immediately). This is when you will have to resort to smaller companies.

With only 10 days in Spain, we knew we could not see and do it all. With a great place to stay in Seville, it worked well for us to have this trip. We took a short walk to the office of our travel company at 6 am, then the bus picked up others in the hotel district. Then took a trip though the region. We stopped at a rest stop/gas station/ fast food for a quick stop. When we arrived at the Alhambra, our tour guide was waiting for us. It is an amazing place. Then we had the afternoon in the old town. We had signed up for a walking tour of the town. One of our groups was 30 minutes late coming back to the bus, so we did not have time for the walking tour. We were let off the bus to purchase a late lunch and go to the scenic overlook of the Alhambra with the mountains if the background. We were given our money back with no problems for missing the walking tour.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
