Pick up from Malaga was prompt and the trip to Granada was very smooth. The self-guided time in Granada was nice and we wiuld have liked a bit more time to explore, but the schedule is driven by ticket times at Alhambra. Richard, our tour guide for the Alhambra was great. he is a historian and doesn't just have a wealth of facts, but also an amazing talent for telling stories. The gardens and the interior were beautiful and the history fascinationg.

Absolutely wonderful. Well organized. Our driver Pablo was not just a great driver but a joy to share the trip with. He was kind and thoughtful. Our guide at LaAlhambra was equally fabulous and also named Pablo. He was knowledgeable and presented the information with skill. Being a private tour we were able to easily make slight adjustments to the itinerary to fit our needs. We have done quite a few Viator tours as this is the best so far.

We had a good trip from Malaga to the Alhambra of Granada. Jonathan pick us up at our hotel at the appointed time and gave us a smooth ride. Our tour guide Richard gave us a tour which put the Alhambra into historical context and he pointed out interesting architectural details. He was able to distill down the complex history into something interesting for my teen sons. He also helped us find nice venues for the family pictures my wife wanted. It was a crowded time to visit but he was able to maneuver us through the site so that we felt relaxed.
