Andrea was excellent. So nice, friendly, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend this. My kids said this was the best tour
We couldn't find the meeting point. When speaking with the tour guide on the phone she was super rude. I asked her if we could meet her at some point along the tour, since it was a 3 hour tour (I'm certain the tour guide has a rough idea of what time they will be at which spot along the tour). She said no, yet sent me a pin of her location of where we should have met her. She could have sent me her live location, and I could have navigated. Very disappointing in the lack of flexibility. I by no means expected her to wait, however, we could have met her at some point over the 3 hours.
Wonderful Vanessa very informative Alhambra came alive and all Nasrid was a WONDER to behold . Definitely a MUST SEE TOUR !!
Our guide was excellent. The small group helped for everyone to stay together. The length of visit was right, it .can not be shorter than it was
A very friendly and very knowledgeable guide. Wonderful tour.
We had an excellent tour of the Alhambra with Carina who is passionate, full of humor, and very kind. I highly recommend her, you will have a wonderful time in her pleasant company.
This tour was fantastic. It felt complete yet concise. My husband and I learned SO much from Celia whose detailed yet simple explanations were captivating and educational. I felt sorry for the folks who were viewing the palace and grounds solo. They missed all the informaiton that made "The Red" come alive before our very eyes. She inspired us to do even further research after returning to our hotel. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and particularly Celia J!
A beautiful place immersed in nature, rich in history and culture. The guide was very nice and well-prepared, a tour not to be missed.
The palaces and gardens were amazing. But do not go during Easter week, as some of the best places are closed. The tour is good and informative. Lots of walking and stairs.
Luiz was a great person to do the tour. As an art historian his knowledge was very insightful and informative
