Sergio was very knowledgeable about Alhambra and many other topics we asked him about. Despite us asking what we felt were random questions about the site, he still knew the answers. It is clear that he has a lot of historical knowledge about many topics. He made it easy to follow him and to ask questions. He allowed us time to take pictures and also took family pictures for us. He went at a manageable pace and hit the main points about the site. He made it interesting and comfortable. He also provided us with recommendations regarding seeing other sites and restaurants. We highly recommend him!
Sergio was a joy to have as our tour leader, his knowledge and passion for the place was so evident, it made the trip so special. Not only that but we booked on very short notice 72 hours prior and he was so accommodating both on the time and what we covered. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to appreciate to the fullest extent the gift that is the Alhambra.
Sergio was wonderful. Incredibly knowledgable—whenever we asked him a question, he answered without hesitation. He never rushed us. He was fun to talk to. And when a friend who was not on the tour had a mishap with her Alhambra tickets, he took it upon himself to talk with the ticket office on her behalf. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
Sergio's tour was fantastic, very knowledgeable friendly and adapted to our interests. Very fair price and for me private tour of Alhambra was definitely bucket list worthy. He gave many other tips for the city and I'm writing this after an exceptional dinner and drinks at a place he recommended
Amazing experience!! Sergio was extremely friendly and professional and brought the Alhambra to life with his stories and explanations. The Alhambra itself is a spectacular experience - the tour shows off all amazing views, gardens, and architecture. Sergio was extremely knowledgable and comfortable showing everything. Excellent tour guide! Highly recommend!!
My family and I had a fabulous tour with Sergio! He found tickets for us (last minute, we were very fortunate!) and the tour was amazing - it was comprehensive, interesting, and perfect for my husband and me as well as our teenage daughter. It’s not easy to tailor a tour for adults as well as a teenager and Sergio couldn’t have been better. The communication prior to the tour was excellent as well. I highly recommend Sergio and his tour!!
Our tour guide Fernando was fantastic! So knowledgeable and personable with our group of 7. He was an engaging guide to this amazing historical site. We highly recommend touring with Fernando. Enjoy!
Sergio was our private tour host for three hours as we visited The Alhambra. He was so knowledgeable but also brilliant at sharing information and insights so we could understand. We found him fun to be with, very considerate and kind alongside his history knowledge which he brought to life. We would not have got as much from our visit without his input. Highly recommended.
I booked this experience through airbnb as the reviews were excellent. From booking, Sergio provided clear information and was very responsive. Tickets to the Alhambra were booked by his company so it was all seamless and easy - all I had to do was send our ID documentation (passport information) to allow booking. We arrived on the morning and met Fernando our tour guide - who we all loved immediately. He was enthusiastic, warm, welcoming and full of knowledge. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and I'll be forever grateful for his time. There is so much to see and without a guide I think it would be overwhelming. There were huge groups of tours going round but it was just the 5 of us and Fernando so it felt so much more personal and allowed us to ask questions. I can't recommend this tour enough, it was genuinely superb and it has been a highlight of our family holiday to Spain. Thank you Fernando!
I had this tour by myself, which may have went either extremely well or terribly bad! Luckily, it was not the later. Alhambra being amazing is a given, nothing less than expected, so no need to talk much about it. The tour with Sergio though, it was great and fun to do, even though no other tourists have joined us. He was extremely knowledgeable, humble and helpful. It felt like visiting Alhambra with highly informed friend 😁 👍🏻👍🏻
