Full description

Waste no time waiting in line with a skip-the-line ticket to the bullring in Seville — the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza. Take an included 1-hour guided tour to get the most out of your visit, and enjoy the use of an included headset so you don't miss a moment of your guide's commentary. During the activity, visit the Bullfight Museum, which is divided into 4 different parts. Discover the aim of bullfighting and the history of it. Learn about the different parts of a bullfight and all the people who have a share in it. Take a look at original bullfighter costumes, capes, and more. Next, head to the horses' courtyard and admire the chapel where bullfighters pray before the fight. Stay for a few minutes in front of the main gate, hear the sound of the opening wood door, then enter the arena like a bullfighter. From the middle of the arena, contemplate the tendidos (front rows), look at the bull pens (toriles), and appreciate the most important gate in the bullring: the Prince's Gate. If the matador crosses it, he gets a wonderful reception.

I am deaf in my left ear and the headset provided only fit the left ear. So that audio was useless to me. The lady guide tried to accomodate as best she could & my wife filled in as needed. I have been that way since a childhood case of the measles. Kudos to the guide

Another very interesting woman guide French is a little more complicated but she often made the effort to give us some important explanations in our language it is a little more pleasant but I admit that the excellent guide of the combined giralda cathedral and alcazar who has a perfect French is very appreciable for the very large groups of French in Seville since we come as neighbors and are very numerous in Seville
