    Carlos is an excellent guide with excellent expertise. He not only brought us the history of the Alhambra and Granada but also embedded the history in context with anecdotes and history transfers. We really enjoyed the enriching hours with him and would like to take this opportunity to thank him so much again. With best regards, Gabriela Kuhn Thöny and Christian Thöny

    William was a great guide both patient and very well informed.

    William exceeded our expectations by far. His expertise and personal connection as a native of Granada truly brought to life the beauty of the Alhambra. He was very knowledgeable of its unique place and interesting circumstances in Spanish history. We so enjoyed our experience having William as our private tour guide that we would like to come back sometime.
