In Seville, the hop-on hop-off bus costs €28 per person per day, a private tuk tuk €89-99 per vehicle of up to 4 people (1 hour) and a private guided horse carriage €298 per carriage. Per person, the order changes with group size: for 4, the tuk tuk is the cheapest of the three.
Quick answer by who's travelling
- Couple on a budget: hop-on hop-off bus€28 · 4.0 (€28 each) or, better still, on foot: the small-group walking tour€25 · 4.9 costs €25. Central Seville is flat and very walkable.

- Party of 6: two tuk tuks (€188, €31.33 each) or the bus if you'll use it all day.
- First visit: the 2-hour tuk tuk€124, which adds the Torre del Oro, La Cartuja, the Macarena and the city walls to the short route.
- Special occasion (anniversary, proposal, parents): the private guided horse carriage€298.

Break-even: when is the tuk tuk cheaper?
For 4 people, the 1-hour tuk tuk (€24.75) is cheaper than the bus (€28). For 2, the bus wins (€28 against €44.50). For 5 or 6 you need two tuk tuks and the bus is cheaper again. The private horse carriage doesn't compete on price: even full, it's €74.50 each.
Bear in mind you're not buying the same thing: the bus is valid for 24 hours and includes two walking tours plus entry to the Iglesia del Salvador and the Macarena Museum; the tuk tuk and carriage are a closed loop that ends where it began.
Pros and cons
Private tuk tuk
- For: just your group, electric, a local driver-guide who explains and stops for photos, plus covers and blankets if it rains or turns chilly (on the 2-hour version). It leaves from the Saba car park at Plaza de Armas.
- Against: up to 4 people; the short route focuses on Plaza de España, María Luisa Park, the Maestranza bullring and Triana.
Horse carriage
- For: Seville's classic image. The private ride has a coachman and a guide versed in Andalusian history, a soft drink and, at the end, a local wine. It leaves from Calle Adriano in El Arenal.
- Against: the price, and some people prefer not to ride for the horses' sake, especially in the hottest hours. Street carriages have a coachman only, no guide.
Hop-on hop-off bus
- For: the cheapest for 1-2 people, hop on and off as often as you like, audio guide in over 15 languages, wheelchair accessible and extras (two walking tours, entry tickets). Buses every 30-40 minutes.
- Against: recorded commentary and a 75-minute loop along the avenues: it doesn't go into the Santa Cruz quarter.
Who each one suits
- Bus: solo travellers and couples, older travellers or those with limited mobility, anyone wanting to get around all day.
- Tuk tuk: families, groups of 3-4, hot days, anyone short on time.
- Horse carriage: a special occasion or the classic photo, with the budget for it.
- On foot or by bike: those who'd rather understand the city with a live guide and spend less.
Common mistakes
- Getting into a street carriage without agreeing price and duration. Fares are regulated; ask first.
- Booking a tuk tuk for 5. It seats 4: the fifth person means another vehicle.
- Buying the bus for a single loop. If you won't get off, a tuk tuk shared by 4 is better value.
- Doing any of them at midday in summer. Go early or around sunset.
- Expecting to see Santa Cruz from the bus. That quarter is explored on foot.
