  This was a great experience. The driver picked us up promptly at the cruise ship dock in Motril and dropped us off where our guide was waiting. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Alhambra and clearly very experienced. Two of our party had mobility issues so she immediately adjusted our tour to ensure that we could see everything. At the end she arranged lunch for us and contacted our driver who drove us home through beautiful southern Spain. It was a wonderful day surpassing our expectations.

  Javi was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, very understandable, very organized. He was clever enough to start us at the top, the summer palace of the Alhambra and walk us through the various aspects of the castle and grounds, so there was very little uphill. This was particularly important for my spouse who has a weak knee. He was very patient with our slow movement. He had been recommended by some friends who had used his services several months before and were also very impressed.

  Everything worked as hoped for by my wife and myself. We were on an Oceania cruise and were only in Port one short day but our #1 goal for the day was to see Alhambra. Tours de Lao a Lao connected with us shortly after booking our private tour for the two of us. They arranged earlier tickets than were shown on the TripAdvisor website so we were able to start out early and not fret about missing the departure of the ship. Driver was both punctual and pleasant and picked us up in a nice Mercedes van. The guide met us at the entry to Alhambra on time and took us through this spectacular not-to-miss historic site. Her knowledge was thorough and interesting. Highly recommend.

  Javier is a superb tour guide! We had originally signed up to tour the Alhambra with a larger group who cancelled on us, and we were scrambling to find alternative arrangements. From my first inquiries, Javier was responsive, knowledgeable, and courteous in all of his answers. At that point, tickets to the Alhambra were already sold out, and Javi was very honest that he could not guarantee that he could get tickets, but he promised to try. I very much appreciated his honesty, and decided to go with him anyway. Indeed, Javi was able to source the tickets a few days before our date, and it was a fantastic day. The driver he engaged was on-time and courteous, and Javier himself is knowledgeable, personable, and extremely organized. We had an excellent tour of the Generalife as well as the Alhambra itself, and Javier made it one of the highlights of our vacation! In particular, I very much appreciated how conscious he was of my parents age and mobility limitations. While my parents are in fantastic shape for their early eighties, my father can have issues with stairs and it was quite a bit of walking by the end of the tour. Javi was able to suggest alternative routes, bathroom accomodations, and breaks that made the tour much more manageable and enjoyable for them. In case you're as vacation photo-obsessed as my parents, Javi is also an excellent photographer. :) All in all, Javier is one of the best tour guides that we've hired over the years, and would recommend him to anyone interested in touring the Alhambra and Granada, and we look forward to reaching out to him the next time we're in the area!

• The only way to go from a cruise ship!!

  From the moment the driver picked us up at the dock until we returned this was very special. Jose the driver was courteous and drove safely. We met Javier (our guide) at entrance to Alhambra. He was knowledgeable and professional with great story to tell. We were there as a couple so really enjoyed the entire day. Highly recommend the experience and safety

  Javier gave us a wonderful private tour of the Alhambra and the ancient Albaicin area in Granada. He arranged round trip transport from our cruise ship. At the Alhambra we toured Nasrid Palaces, summer palace and Generalife Gardens and more. Javi was very considerate of our mobility limitations and arranged the tour so that we would have minimal uphill and stair climbing and access to rest areas. We were impressed by his knowledge and friendly attitude. After our tour he walked us to a very nice restaurant across from the Alhambra and made certain that we were properly seated. The driver he hired arrived right on time after our late lunch. We would very highly recommend him if you are coming to Granada.

  The tour was booked by friends we were visiting as they had been before. What a wonderful tour guide! From the outset he was welcoming. What an expert... he was so knowledgeable but also delivered the information in an entertaining way... encouraging us to picture life as it was then. Time went so quickly. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting. Thank you 😊.

  Our experience began with a friendly driver picking us up at the port of Motril. He pointed out several sites along the way as we drove the 40 minutes to reach the Alhambra. There we met our guide Javier. He joined our group of three and began our fun, friendly and detailed tour. Javier is incredibly knowledgeable about the Alhambra- he offers the details as a story. I found myself wrapped up in the history and imagined myself there in the shoes of the occupants. He was able to secure tickets for us even though at this point most were sold out. He answered all of our questions without hesitation - we had a million both before the booking and of course during the tour. After he made sure to take us to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the city where we had an incredible lunch. They took care of us as well and made sure we had a taxi waiting for us to take us back to port. All in all an incredible way to see the Alhambra from the port of Motril. Worth every penny!
