5.00Fantastic private tour with Javi. Super knowledgeable who navigated us through the busier areas of the Alhambra with ease. Great relaxed pace - we never felt rushed - and made sense of what would have otherwise been an overwhelming monument. Worth the cost and highly recommended!

5.00Our first time visiting Spain/Alhambra, wanted to make the most of our experience and decided to book a private tour guide. And, I’m so glad I did! Our guide was Javier “Javi”, and he was EXCELLENT! We could not have been more pleased with our tour. Javi was extremely knowledgeable about the region, the Alhambra, and all its history. He was passionate about the history. And, so patient with our questions. I highly recommend this tour and if considering, certainly seek out and inquire about Javier as your guide. Thank you Javi, Stacey and Jeff Angelini

5.00I would give him 10 stars. I highly recommend our local tour guide Javier. I use a mobility scooter and I booked this private tour from the U.S because of the description. We communicated using whatsapp and he was right on time to meet our tour bus. His knowledge of the Alhambra and ability to navigate the site allowed me access using ramps. He was the best guide I have had in over 45 years of international travel.
Fantastic, passionate and knowledgeable guide!

He is passionate about his work and it really shows. We had a great morning learning about the Alhambra and he shared so many recommendations about things to do and places to eat which made our stay in Granada so enjoyable. Thank you Javi!
