5.00Juan was a wonderful guide to this beautiful city. His passion for Andalusia was contagious as he shared history, farming and cultural information. Alhambra was overwhelming but delightful.
Juanjo is great guide and beautiful Granada and Alhambra!

5.00Juanjo was a wonderful guide as very pleasant and answered any questions people might have or offered to help. He always had a smile on his face and listened carefully to peoples requests or comments. Bus driver was diligent and kind and got us there and back safely. Santiago was guide at Alhambra and was good as well but on a strict schedule. Lots of nonstop walking once in Alhambra - 2.5 hours without palaces. Itinerary 10:25 left Malaga and the stop for coffee and toilet 30 mins. 12:30 arrive at top near Alhambra for meeting point. Walked down into Granada and quickly showed us where to catch bus and then plaza for lunch places. We ate at Manuelas near church for tapas. Meatballs were fist size and 2 Euros. Bus up at 3:30 to meeting point and started Alhambra tour at 4 til 6:30. Palace group continued while we exited and went back to meeting point and enjoyed refreshments above in restaurant. Left at 7:30 and back to Malaga around 9.

4.00It was a great tour but it was a lot of quick walking. Some in our party had issues keeping up. We did see all there was to see- but more info before starting about timing of the various parts would have made it easier to plan accordingly.
It was a well organized...

5.00It was a well organized trip overall. The guide in Alhambra was knowledgeable and interesting. Be prepared to spend long time walking, but it is certainly worth it.
Excellent option to visit the Alhambra

5.00The guide's attention was excellent! He took us to the center of Granada, and handed us a map to orient us, and return in time to the meeting points. The tour inside the Alhambra was by another guide, who handed us some devices with hearing aids to hear all the information during the tour. The tour lasts 3 hours walking, there are no breaks, so there are comfortable shoes, and water. The Alhambra and gardens occupy too large an area, I would not have imagined. This tour is very worthwhile.
