Interesting historical site & great guide - Joanna gave us an excellent tour of this very interesting site, making the lives of the Roman residents come to life. The mosaics in the homes at this site are amazing, and the remaining wall foundations make the housing area easy to visualize. The amphitheater is what remains of the 3rd largest Roman one. We actually enjoyed visiting it more than the one in Rome because there were no crowds. My husband uses a hiking pole for stability on uneven surfaces, but he was able to manage this site & Joanna was very understanding of his needs & helpful. We took a taxi from our hotel in the Barrio Santa Cruz neighborhood, then caught one back that was dropping off people as it was a busy Sunday afternoon for the taxi apps. There was a little cafe across the street from the entrance where we warmed up & had coffees before our tour began.

Great Roman Ruins with a super guide - Joanna gave us a great tour of Italica. She was very knowledgeable and the site was impressive. The little museum was also interesting. Totally worth the 20 minute drive from Seville if you are into Roman ruins

Worth your time - Alexis was very knowledgeable and funny. We had a great time talking about Italica and Spanish history. We almost had the place to ourselves which was fun but we didn’t understand why because the ruins were amazing. We also loved it as Game of Thrones fans because they filmed there!

Italica-must see if have any interest in Roman era - Was a fantastic tour. Very, very informative. Alex was a walking encyclopedia re Italica and Roman outposts in general. Is a nice pace as walk the streets in place over 1000 years and see the remnants of the portion of the city escalated to date. Is an active archaeological site so every year more is uncovered and restored!

Alex was amazing! - The tour of Italica was interesting and Alex was informative. He was on time and obviously knew the history and layout of this Roman treasure. The weather was not ideal yet the two hours flew by as if was a more pleasant sunny day. Highly recommend Alex and Italica!!

Informative and well worth it ! - Our guide Veronica did a wonderful job of explaining so many things about Italica. She was very accommodating regarding our arrival situation. We definitely reccomend the tour because of the information and perspective that you won't get simply walking around the Amphitheater. Thank you !

Italica 2 hour tour - Javier was our tour guide. He was energetic and well informed . We could have the walked around the site without a guide except we would not have gained as much. It’s best to do this tour in the morning due to the heat. Make sure to bring a hat , good walking shoes, and water .
