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.
Great visit to the Alhambra

5.00This was an excellent experience from the time the taxi picked us up at our rental home to the time we were dropped off in the later afternoon. Many thanks to our expert tour guide Abubakr. We felt so fortunate to have a guide who was so incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Alhambra, and was friendly and professional throughout. The palaces and garden were stunning and the history was fascinating. We would highly recommend this tour!

5.00My husband and I were promptly picked up by Pepe at the agreed-upon time, at our Vking cruise port location. Pepe introduced us to Malaga and Granada while we were driven to Alhambra. Once there, we met our personal guide, Hamdy, who guided us to the Palaces’ entry while introducing us to the history of Alhambra. As we were guided throughout these beautiful and ornate grounds, Hamdy shared a wealth of history and information for absolutely everything we saw. Hamdy additionally helped me set up excellent photos plus took several of us at key locations (photo ops!). Be prepared for lots of walking involving cobblestones, steps, inclines. But any challenges you may have are rewarded with a vast number of beautiful sights!! Once the tour was over, Hamdy recommended a restaurant in Granada where Pepe took us to enjoy a delicious lunch outside at a central location (where we also found an ATM to use). Next was the drive back to our ship where we were dropped off within the required time frame, just ahead of sailing to our next location. We highly recommend this tour!!!
Excellent, informative and passionate
