5.00We cannot express our gratitude enough for the thoroughly enjoyable experience provided by our driver, Manuel, and our tour guide, Isabell. We saw the Alhambra's four palaces and immense Generalife gardens - all breathtakingly beautiful, all seen without rush. Isabell's knowledge of the Alhambra complex and the area's history was quite in depth. We recommend this as a MUST DO experience.
A great trip to Alhambra from the city of Malaga🌞

5.00Wonderful so glad we booked and our driver was very nice too. Abu Bakr was our guide and just so full of information and facts. Truly would not have seen all the amazing history without him.

5.00Four of us had a very good visit to Alhambra on our cruise day in Malaga. Eduardo our driver communicated the evening before to with pick-up details and he was right on time. He drove us to the Alhambra visitors center where we met up with our guide Mohammed. He is very knowledgeable and led us on an interesting tour of the gardens, Generalife, and the palace. We skipped every line and Mohammed was attuned to when we needed to sit or take photos or ask questions. Both Eduardo and Mohammed were considerate of our friend who doesn’t walk as well. The ride to and from Granada was scenic and very pleasant. Eduardo got us back to the ship exactly when he said he would, so there were no worries about missing all-aboard time. Highly recommend!
Great day trip to Alhambra!

5.00Had an excellent tour with Jose as our driver and Isabella as our tour guide. Both were very knowledgeable and made the trip a good one. Alhambra is not to be missed, the architecture, decorations and grounds are gorgeous. Would recommend this tour to everyone.
Worth it!

5.00Fantastic tour, very informative and it really helped that the guide was a Moroccan living in Spain. He could read Arabic and explained many details that I suspect others would not have. Additionally you managed to add 2 people to the group with less than 72 hours.
