Overview

In for a different adventure after discovering the almost endless beautiful history and buildings from the centre of the city? Come on a tour with us to village of Santiponce and the historical roman city of Itálica! During this 5-hour guided tour you’ll take an electric bike and go to the first roman city in the Iberian Peninsula.

After arriving, you will enter the city on foot and discover this historical monument and come to know all about this glorious city. One of the biggest amphitheaters is also something you will learn everything about, next to the emperors who were born here. It is almost magical, and speaking about magic, some scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed here!

You will meet your guide at our bike shop, get your bike and you are on your way! After exiting the city, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful countryside.

Visiting Itálica is not something you want to miss during your stay in Seville, and there are no better guides for you than at ATD.

We had Rigo as our tour guide and our experience was excellent! The bike ride to the ruins included stops along the way which was great since we've only been in Seville a day. The bikes were comfortable and easy to operate. The cafe we stopped in for breakfast was a perfect local place and it was a nice opportunity to meet the other travelers. Rigo had great knowledge of the ruins and tied the whole tour together through interesting storytelling and overarching themes. The ride back was easy and Rigo did a great job of making sure everyone stayed together and no one got left behind.

We had an awesome time exploring Santiponce and Italica from Seville with Tim! Tim is an awesome guide and it was clear from the onset that he is super passionate about history and about cycling (he is also Dutch so this tracks). The e-bikes and the electric assist function worked great! The tour takes place nearly entirely on existing bike paths so there is very little interaction with regular car traffic. The only thing we'd suggest is to give your bike a quick look over at the shop before heading out as some of the tires needed some extra air and one of the electric assists wasn't working properly. That being said Tim and the shop employees were super attentive about fixing these once we'd let them know. Other than that this was an awesome tour. Italica is a highly underrated Roman archeological site and will probably become quite a bit more popular as excavations continue (and its UNESCO World Heritage designation gets sorted out). The original 1800 year old mosaics are beautiful and the usual Roman ingenuity and desire for spectacle is apparent all over the place. Apparently some of Game of Thrones was filmed here but that's honestly not even the coolest part. Anyway bottom line if you like history and like cycling this is basically the perfect tour. We were back in Seville by around 2pm so it was the perfect length to justify more tapas afterwards.

Tim was fantastic. He is so enthusiastic regarding the history of the region and the mythology surrounding some of the mosaics. Italica should be a UNESCO world heritage site The tour was fantastic though the chains fell off a couple of peoples E-bikes on the way.

E-bike is an excellent way to take a quick tour through Seville. The ruins are marvelous, especially the mosaics, and Danny was a warm & knowledgeable guide.

Our guide was fantastic and his in-depth knowledge of the historical value of the area brought the city to life for us. The bike ride was enjoyable and the trip was a nice change from the city.
