5.00My friends and I enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the Alhambra thanks to the best guide we have ever had, Hector. Despite the crowd (the Alhambra receives more than 6,000 visitors daily), Hector gave us an exclusive experience, as if only we were there, surrounded by the stunning beauty of this architectural gem. Capacity (in covers) to convey cultural and artistic details in a pleasant and didactic way kept us totally enthralled with his stories. In addition, his deep knowledge of the Arab world helped us appreciate unique nuances that often go unnoticed. I highly recommend booking the guided tour with this company, especially with Hector as your guide.
Excellent guide

5.00We had Antonio as our guide and he was terrific. He was informative and entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He seemed genuinely proud and interested in the history of the Alhambra and the region. Cannot recommend him highly enough as a guide. Our booking time was changed at the last minute from morning to afternoon, but the company responded immediately to all my messages and questions which I appreciated.
Amazing site, great guide

5.00We had a great tour of the Alhambra--it's a can't miss experience and among the most wonderful individual sites we've ever seen. Gustavo was our tour guide and was wonderful. His English is awesome, but even more, his ability to explain the etymology and history of all the terms involved added depth to the visit. He's thoughtful and fun, and shows an obvious love for this site that is infectious.
A very good experience

5.00We had a wonderful, friendly guide, who made our total walk (approx 5 km), become so brief that we were left wanting more! The magnificent place, and it is spotless! Everything worked perfect! Thank you.

4.00Gustavo was super knowledgeable and lead a great tour. We learned so much and got to see a great overview of The Alhambra and Generalife. Only negative is that we booked a small group tour (no more than 10 people) but there were actually 25 on our tour, not the experience we were expecting.
Must see

5.00Great experience. Fernando, our guide was exceptional. Knowledgeable, funny, and compelling in his painting a picture of life at Alhambra. Generally not “tour people”, but so happy we were a part of this one.
