5.00Sergio was our private tour host for three hours as we visited The Alhambra. He was so knowledgeable but also brilliant at sharing information and insights so we could understand. We found him fun to be with, very considerate and kind alongside his history knowledge which he brought to life. We would not have got as much from our visit without his input. Highly recommended.
The best tour we’ve ever done!

5.00I booked this experience through airbnb as the reviews were excellent. From booking, Sergio provided clear information and was very responsive. Tickets to the Alhambra were booked by his company so it was all seamless and easy - all I had to do was send our ID documentation (passport information) to allow booking. We arrived on the morning and met Fernando our tour guide - who we all loved immediately. He was enthusiastic, warm, welcoming and full of knowledge. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and I'll be forever grateful for his time. There is so much to see and without a guide I think it would be overwhelming. There were huge groups of tours going round but it was just the 5 of us and Fernando so it felt so much more personal and allowed us to ask questions. I can't recommend this tour enough, it was genuinely superb and it has been a highlight of our family holiday to Spain. Thank you Fernando!

5.00I had this tour by myself, which may have went either extremely well or terribly bad! Luckily, it was not the later. Alhambra being amazing is a given, nothing less than expected, so no need to talk much about it. The tour with Sergio though, it was great and fun to do, even though no other tourists have joined us. He was extremely knowledgeable, humble and helpful. It felt like visiting Alhambra with highly informed friend 😁 👍🏻👍🏻
The only way to visit the Alhambra!

5.00This tour was amazing! Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and helped streamline the experience so that we didn’t miss anything, which I do not think we could have accomplished on our own. Worth every penny:)

5.00Fernando was a great guide. Patient, funny and respectful. Went there with my 83 year old Dad and 65 Year Old mom. He waited and explained everything about the place and event sent us some recommendations to eat in Granada. Will definitely repeat.
Great tour of Alhambra! Highly recommend!

5.00Sergio was a fantastic tour guide! He told well-places stories that helped the Alhambra come alive. Very thoughtfully, he started with an overview of the history of the area, using visualizations of the development of the citadel over time. At various points in the tour, he popped up pictures on his phone to add context or detail (such as a painting we could not see due to restoration activities or an illustration of historical construction technique). He knew how to maneuver around the crowds while being very respectful of the structures. Sergio was also very gracious in answering questions and taking photos for us. After the tour, he sent some great restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend booking one of his tours!
