Debating if we should just buy a ticket to see the Royal Alcazar in Seville on our own (they dont become available til a month or two prior with ticket sales opening on the 1st of the month), buy tickets through a tour (which handles securing the tickets for you as well), or splurge for the Private Before Opening Tour where you and 20 others are alone without the masses early in the morning. Saving money is always appealing but we hate crowds and it's the one site we are all interested in learning about. Any insights on the best way to do Alcazar? Also interested in seeing the upper quarters and that seems to be a separate timed ticket. Thank you

We took a tour and wished we had not. In my opinion, it's much better to learn about it in advance, and then go at your own pace.

It was 2011, but we just walked up, got a ticket, and visited it at our own pace. Granted it was late October when we visited, but it wasn’t crowded at all. We prefer to go at our own pace rather than that of a tour guide.
