This was a small group tour but it was just the 3 of us and we enjoyed the personal attention. Paula was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the Alhambra and Spanish history.
What a fantastic monument and a totally amazing tour. We took the 3 hour guided tour of the Alhambra and it was worth every penny! The tour was well constrcted and you were guided through with every step though of son things only got better and better. The guide was knowlegable, fund and friendly and the tour wizzed by.
We toured the Alhambra with Paula. She grew up in Granada. She told us interesting details about the history, architecture, restoration, culture, sultans, kings and queens of the Alhambra. The pace of the 3 hour tour was perfect. We had time to absorb what we were seeing and feeling. We never felt rushed. She was great about answering our questions. Her English was exceptional and easy to understand, but charming with her Granada accent.
We only booked this tour around 3 weeks beforehand and many were already fully booked. Luckily we found Lolita's Tours and our guide Paola. We were expecting a large group but it was only us and our very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and cheerful guide. She explained the history very clearly and so many interesting details that we would have. It was amazing how she maintained the same level of professionalism and enthusiasm over the 3 hour visit. It exceeded our expectations and Paola made it a perfect end to our holiday.
Although our tour was confirmed, when we arrived at the meeting place the guide let us know that tours were not allowed that day . She says it was a holiday and therefore no tours were allowed. We were not informed of this until were arrived at the designated meeting place. She did provide us with tickets snd issued a refund
We are really sorry for the situation that occurred on Patrimonio Day. As an agency, we were not informed by the monument that guided tours were not allowed on that date; in fact, for the past eight years tours have always taken place as usual. The monument’s own staff apologized to us and acknowledged that it was their internal mistake, which our guide explained to you before the tour was scheduled to begin. Even though this incident was completely beyond our control, you received a full refund, and you were also able to enter the Alhambra for free with the tickets we provided. For this reason, we believe that a one-star rating is quite disproportionate, especially considering that our company also suffered a significant financial loss due to the monument’s error. Nonetheless, we truly hope you enjoyed your visit to the Alhambra with the complimentary ticket we offered FOR FREE.
Paula Fernandez from Lolita’s tours is the perfect tour guide for Alhambra. She explained the history of Alhambra leading to a UNESCO site today. The sultans, kings, palaces, calligraphy, architecture and even Napoleon played a role. It is an interesting history but my brain cannot absorbed too much facts. Those who like history, architecture, understanding of muslims and Christians influence will find the site very unique and interesting. It is better to visit Alhambra with a guide to appreciate the history.
We were very lucky to have a small group the day we did our tour with Paula. She is very knowledgeable and engaging. I had just had a great tour guide in Seville a couple of days before and didn't think I would be fortunate enough to get another that would compare byt Paula was more than up to providing a great 3 hour experience.
We have had a phenomenal experience, our tour guide “Carmela” was very impressed, she was so knowledgeable about everything, she was very patient and answered all the questions we asked, leaving behind a pleasant experience to go back. She is 100% recommended 😁
If you go to the Alhambra, hire a guide. We were lucky that only we participated in the tour, so it was a private tour with Laura, the guide. She explained to us in detail each site of the Alhambra. He also knew the symbolism of the Nazarite palaces.
The Alhambra is wonderful, but if you are lucky enough to see it with Paula as a guide, with its great sensitivity, you will get an excellent visit.
