About
Pilate’s House, located at the Square with the same name, invites us to visit one of the least known monuments in the city and one of the most mistreated during the wars that Seville has experienced.
However, Disney already said it in «Mulan»: «The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.» And Pilate’s House is precisely that flower, which has endured so much adversity and offers us a decadent romantic beauty with a history full of symbology, mythology and legends.
The ideal visit to understand a little more about our culture, our architecture and the hidden magic of some corners of Seville.

- 863ugugjbkn0 contributionsFantastic experience!Isabel is a fabulous tour guide and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended a private tour with her to see the palais alcazar, cathedral and Santa Cruz neighborhood!! Don’t miss this!Written 30 January 2025
- edwardt1930 contributionsPerfect tour of SevilleIsabel is a great tour guide. She is very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. One of the best private tours we ever had.Written 31 December 2024
- Carisse T0 contributionsA quick but engaging tour of the beautiful Alcázar!We were very lucky that Isabel had an availability to guide us that day as most tours were fully booked and Isabel had been recommended by her colleague. It was wonderful getting to discover the Alcázar, and we learned so much about the history of the palace, its rooms, and construction even in the short time our quick day trip to Sevilla could afford. It was really cool seeing all the filming locations for Game of Thrones pointed out, and Isabel was kind enough to send a video compilation of these locations even after our tour. As an architecture graduate I really appreciate how engaging the tour was, because it makes understanding a monument or a space interesting and accessible. Highly highly recommend Isabel, and we would love to visit Sevilla again and stay even longer! Review of a Dec 2023 trip to the Alcázar, from a Filipino family.Written 31 December 2024
- DonM167370 contributionsWonderful Tour and GuideIsabel was a wonderful tour guide. She did not rush and hit all the great stories of the Royal Palace and Cathedral. She even was able to skip the line with us. Get your tickets early.Written 21 October 2024
- Voyager634738329920 contributionsCan’t miss tour with a can’t miss guide IsabelOur guide Isabel did an unbelievable awesome fantastic job guiding us through the historic sites of Alcazar and the Cathedral and then a walking tours of the Old Neighborhood Santa Cruz. She was truly a historian with an abundance of information and stories. Everyone in our private 6 person tour found her an excellent and entertaining guides. We Highly recommend Isabel and this tour !!! Loved it!!!!Written 20 October 2024
- Vacation7248170 contributionsAmazing tour of beautiful SevilleWe had the pleasure of touring Sevilla with Isabel, and she was truly exceptional! Her extensive knowledge and passion for the city made the experience unforgettable. Isabel shared fascinating details and insights that brought Sevilla's rich history to life. Her love for the city was contagious, and we left with a deeper appreciation for its beauty and culture. Highly recommend Isabel to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. 5/5 stars!Written 8 October 2024
- andy_n_John0 contributionsA must do!Isabel was a fabulous and informative tour guide! We learned so much about the history and culture of bullfighting ... as well as Spanish history and culture ... it was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and engaging! We highly recommend this tour with Isabel!Written 19 September 2024
- NeilKelly770 contributionsGreat looking churchIglesia De San Luis De Los Franceses ( Church Of Saint Louis Of France ) was a wonderful looking church my twin brother and I chanced upon as we were pub hopping around the wonderful Barrio De Macarena and what a great find. This church was constructed between 1699-1731 and built from designs from architect Leonardo De Figueroa ,a wonderful example of Baroque style architecture, interior is awesome, so many beautiful features to behold, externally it's a stunning building, very photogenic, if you're walking down Calle San Luis it's most definitely well worth checking out.Written 13 September 2024
- gailo3440 contributionsSeveral Hours Needed to See Entire SitePurchased on-line specific reserved entry time for Upper Palace (appxly $15 U.S.). There was confusion at the Lion's Gate entry. If the area was roped off with the entry times posted it would have been more orderly. Most of the staff were milling around at the entrance instead of managing the line so people were leaving the line to ask questions. The palace is a short distance from the entrance so arrive 15-30 mins early to reach the palace's 2nd floor. There are no bags or photos allowed during the palace tour, so lockers are available to store your items at the entry (coins needed). Guides take you through the palace, room by room. I thought the rest of Alcazar was more impressive than the palace so it would be fine to skip the palace. The Courtyard of the Maidens, the Hall of Ambassadors, & the entry to the Garden of the Galley were especially beautiful with the intricate carvings. Unfortunately, due to limited time, we were not able to see all the gardens.Written 28 July 2024
- BR212183890 contributionsHighly recommend this tour!This is a wonderfully informative tour. Isabel is professional, knowledgeable and very personable. We had a very nice time on the tour with her and learned so much about bull fighting, and how it is quintessentially Spain. Immediately after booking, Isabel reached out and provided us with instructions for next steps. She was easy to deal with and replied promptly, which just added to the ease of this tour. We are a family of 5, with teens, and everyone loved it. We highly recommend this tour. Tha k you so much Isabel!! You are amazing and we would do the tour again.Written 25 July 2024
- stephenmV4752XA0 contributionsOle, Isabel!Isabel provided a wonderful tour of La Maestranza with humor, flair & a great appreciation of bullfighting as part of Spain's cultural history.Written 15 July 2024
- The_Atomic0 contributionsUnparalleled!Ms. Rico was a delightful companion for the morning and has a wonderful lighthearted sense of humor. She was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of our random questions (e.g. Why is there a crocodile hanging from the ceiling? Why does that dude have bats on his cape?). I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job and would hire her again and again. Highly recommended!Written 12 July 2024
- johndA6534AX0 contributionsAwesome Tour!We had a fantastic tour with Isabel. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and provided a fantastic experience. I highly recommend her for a tour (it was just two of us so a great private experience). Well worth it!Written 21 June 2024
- Love2Kids0 contributionsTop notch tourIsabel was fantastic. We were a group of 8 and from booking to tour completion she was very communicative and helpful. She contacted me the day tickets were available and sent clear instructions on how to obtain our tickets. She communicated regularly to check in and provide information on tour times, meeting sites and other recommendations for our time in Seville. She was very knowledgeable and patient with our children (ages10,9,7). She answered all their questions and did it with a smile. The tour was amazing and we learned so much history of Seville. After our tour she sent many more recommendations for our time in Seville. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.Written 8 June 2024
- 819randallc0 contributionsPrivate tour with Isabel is the BESTWe had a private tour. Isabel was the best! Bullfighting is a controversial issue, but essential to an understanding of Seville and Spain. Isabel was articulate and engaging and managed to provide a detailed discussion of the social and historical importance of bullfighting, without getting wrapped up in the political discussion. Truly an intelligent and charming individual. Also provided lots of extras. Was prepared with a wealth of additional information and background on her phone. And even left us with a tasty treat as a parting gift, which was totally unexpected. And sent us pictures!! We were disappointed with our other group tours in Seville. Track down Isabel for ALL your Seville sites. Better insight, better tour, and less money. The group tours were horrible. Isabel was the best of our tours in our two weeks in Spain. Isabel ROCKS!Written 2 June 2024

What a wonderful afternoon I spent with Isabel during my private tour of Pilates’ house&garden!!! Isabel was so emphatic and charming, like I met a relative from another country! I really appreciate her knowledge and dedication and I learned so many new things about Andalusian style, the explanation of the name Pilates, or Catalina de Rivera….I feel like I have to come back!

We really liked the visit. The guide is very patient and kind. He has told us everything he could about the house: its history, its construction and applications and the art it contains.
