This tour is the best way to get a well-rounded understanding of this major historical site. Gustavo, our guide, made sure to include everyone, took care to answer all questions, and provided a wealth of information that would be missed if you tried to see this site without an expert. Not only did he teach us about the purpose, construction methods, major historical events, and all sorts of context from Spain's history, but also the tour was well-paced, entertaining, and fun. I appreciated the way Gus helped us "beat the heat" by taking care to walk in the shade as well as pointing out the best photo spots. I highly recommend this tour!

We enjoyed our 3 hour tour of the Alhambra with Guillermo / William very much. He was clear, enthusiastic, well-organized and very interesting, and we would not have been able to enjoy this magnificent historical monument and gardens as much without his professional expertise. He was fluent in English and Spanish and kept our small group engaged - and moving at a good pace. Definitely recommend!
Great experience!

Try and make sure to get Armando for your tour guide. Also don’t skip out on the full tour. He explains so much that you could never understand a thing without his knowledge. What an incredible site.
