Great Tour

5.00Sandra was personable and informative. She answered all questions and had a delightful personality. She added warmth and enthusiasm to her tour. My only note for improvement would be that when we entered buildings our listening devices cut out so we could not hear her unless we were very close. My request would be that she would save all commentary for when we are gathered as a group or at least repeat what she said while walking. Thank you for a wonderful tour Sandra! I would recommend you without reservation! You are a pleasure!

3.00A quick run through Alhambra. The tour is fast and doesn’t have the depth one would expect. The guide was a nice person.
Always Tour The Alhambra!

5.00Although I’ve toured the Alhambra and Generalife before, it is always a treat to visit this historic and beautiful UNESCO site. Our tour guide was one of the best bringing a wealth of historic and cultural information with her interest in helping us learn while having fun. Maria is an exceptional tour guide. Don’t visit Granada without doing this tour! It’s fabulous!

5.00Really good tour of the Alhambra and Genralife. Tour guide Anna was really good and knowledgeable. Tour took around 3.5 hours. Seeing inside the Alhambra are separate, and as numbers are limited to protect the building, and advance booking is recommended. Think that would have been too much on top of the main tour anyway.
A good experience of visiting alhambra

5.00Amazing architecture and history. I tried to schedule my tour on the website and it said it was sold out for the day we would be there. I scheduled it through this app and had a great tour guide named Sandra and we had an amazing experience.
