The tour was wonderful and informative. I was very impressed with the guide, Alba. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and helpful. I was impressed how easily she spoke with all of us in both Spanish and English which was fun to hear it in both languages. I look forward to my next trip there and hopefully having another tour with her. She also gave me many suggestions about other places to visit in Granada and cities that I might love in Spain. My expectations were more than exceeded. Robert

Visita de 2 horas y media aproxidamente. Muy recomendable para tener una mejor idea de lo que estas viendo. La Alhambra es imprresionante pero, sin duda, marca la diferencia que alguien pueda explicarte su historia (si las persona lo hace bien, como en el caso de nuestra guia, Alba).
