5.00We had not booked a guide, but arrived there we felt that this would be necessary. The guides at the reception cut into 4 to find a last minute French guide and what a magnificent visit it was. Sow transports us instantly into the history of the Alhambra with passion and good humor. An outstanding guide, a real gem that enchanted this long-awaited visit. Thank you Sow for welcoming us at the last minute and taking care of us as you did! Valerie, Laura & sabrina

5.00Our Alhambra tour with Cheikh Sow was an unforgettable journey through time. From the moment we stepped inside, he didn’t just tell us history, he brought it to life. Cheikh had this incredible ability to paint stories with his words, helping us envision the Nasrid dynasty, the sultans who once wandered the same gardens, and the architects whose brilliance still leaves the world in awe. He taught us to notice the smallest details, the hidden symbols in the carvings, the precision of Islamic geometry, the meaning behind every arch and fountain. Walking through the palaces and courtyards with him felt like exploring secrets that only a true expert could reveal. What made the experience truly special was his passion. You could feel how deeply he loves the Alhambra’s heritage, and that energy made every step more meaningful. We left not only amazed by what we saw, but with a real understanding of the culture and history behind it. Gracias, Cheikh, for making our Alhambra visit one of the most enriching experiences of our trip. We’ll carry this memory with us forever. Jason &Ehsan
A great visit!

Great!!

5.00A great experience with Sow, guide of the Alhambra and Granada! Today we had the pleasure of taking a tour with Sow, and the experience was just amazing. From the first moment he made us feel welcome and at ease. His kindness and attention to detail were exceptional. What we appreciated most is his deep knowledge of the history of the Alhambra and Granada, which allowed us to understand and enjoy every corner of this beautiful city even more. Sow has a unique way of conveying history, always with enthusiasm and passion, making the tour a much richer and more engaging experience. Moreover, the day was filled with surprises and great moments, he always did his best to make everything perfect. He is not only an incredibly knowledgeable guide, but also a very friendly person who really worries about making every tour something unique. I highly recommend Sow to all visitors to Granada. If you want to have an unforgettable experience and learn more about the Alhambra and the city, he is the ideal guide! Michel Angels

5.00We made the tour with Sow who was impressive for his knowledge of history as well as reading Arabic calligraphy. It was really exciting in such a way that these 4 hours of visit passed very quickly! The places are beautiful, impressive, and atypical when you are used to Western architecture. Must see if you are visiting Granada.
Beautiful! To do without hesitation
