Description
Are you coming to Granada? Do you have enough time and do not want to miss the events that shaped the city we know today? ? Or maybe you want to visit the Alhambra and then walk around the beautiful Christians and Muslims sights in the city center? I have designed this tour for those travelers who like to see the Alhambra and then visit the vibrant city, surrounded by tapas bars, silk market and Carvansai bazaar.

Itinerary
I'll pick you up Plaza Nueva and we go to the Alhambra Palace by taxi (the visit lasts approx. 2 h 45 ') after that we'll go to the heart of the city, through the woods of the Alhambra, a marvellous spot, where the walkways are bordered by water streams which flow all year round. In the city center we will explore the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, Corral del Carbon, Bib-rambla Square and a Market of Islamic inflence. These are tailor-made tours. What does it mean? It means that besides are private tours, we will go at your own pace. If you want to stop, sample tapas or see the landscape, we will stop. If you want to see all the city in a day because you must continue your journey, GREAT! Just tell me what do you prefer to do!

Everything was excellent, on time, full knowledge of the place, its history, culture and languages. We toured with Gaby throughout the Alhambra and Granada and she made it super charming, gripping with history and entertaining for the whole family. FANTASTIC. Thank you very much
Gaby was very communicative ahead of the tour and helpful in planning. Our tour with Gaby was informative and flexible to our preferences. We got so much more out of our visit to the Alhambra and the city center with a guide. Highly recommend!
Gaby was very prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. We also much appreciated her help explaining during the booking process how to go about getting which actual entry tickets to the Alhambra. We much appreciated her tour.
Gaby was a good guide. She was able to get us through expedited lines without waiting for the larger groups and took us to see the highlights of the Alhambra and Generalife efficiently. You can tell she knew her way around the palace very well. She also gave good directions on getting to the Alhambra and having the required tickets and documents. She had good time mgmt to get us thru all the sights we wanted within the short duration we had there. It was a little challenging to understand her at times due to her accent and we wished there was transportation included with the tour as that would have simplified the visit.
I highly recommend this tour but, more specifically, you need to ask for Ruth. Everywhere I travel I hire a tour guide; and Ruth was, hands down, the best tour guide I've ever had. She has a gift for making history come alive plus she has a rare gift of being a gentle extrovert. She knows when to chat and when to be friendly, but she also can tell when to give the people on her tour time to reflect. We started outside the hotel called The Parador and she took us everywhere! We paused outside Charles V palace and the tales she told about him where hilarious but always with a touch of respect. I could feel that Spaniards, in general, disliked his palace but appreciated what he did in the area. Next were the Nasrid Palaces and she made the history come alive. She pointed out pieces of the buildings that I never would have noticed and, as she spoke, made me happy with Queen Isabel for not destroying the place, mad at the French army that tried to blow it up, and impressed with the sultan by how he used architecture to remind people that he was king. We also saw the Generalife (the gardens) and the amount of knowledge she can effortlessly recall was just incredible. She turns it all into the type of story that I didn't want to end. I wanted to hire her for my whole trip and just have her hang out with me and tell me about everything I was looking at! She was also very open and happy to explain about the current culture. I was confused about how to order at restaurants (and after she explained what to do I felt so much more relaxed about trying to eat out) and about standing in lines. It seemed to me that Spaniards didn't like to stand in lines at all and would try to cut at every chance. She said I was right, explained why, and had me laughing so hard I started crying. For me, this tour guide was expensive but I can guarantee that Ruth made it worth every single penny. She is amazing, personable, intelligent, and literally the best tour guide I've had.
Gaby is a fantastic tour guide who combines professionalism with a genuine warmth and passion for what she does. She arranged and conducted a fantastic tour of the Alhambra and a separate tour of the Albacin district for my mother and me. She was very responsive to emails, punctual and happy to adapt the tour to suit our requirements. She also takes a mean photo! I could not recommend her highly enough.
Gaby was the perfect guide for our family with three children (2,9,11). I had super interesting stories for the little ones while we could ask everything. And in Spanish & English! Highly recommended for your visit to the Alhambra.
If you want to have a good time while you know the Alhambra, choose Gaby for her professionalism and sympathy! You rating that he's passionate about what he does. She is dedicated, controls the details and is also a very friendly woman and will make the tour worthwhile. I had a great time. A 10 to the experience!!!
I had the opportunity to visit Granada with a guide of excellence such as Gabriela Martin. I knew each site with more enthusiasm thanks to its historical story,.
Gabby was great as a guide on this tour. She helped us a lot with the whole booking process. She has an extensive knowledge not only of history but also of the local culture. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you, Gabby!
