We had a fantastic guide - Ana. It is not enough just to visit Alhambra- it is all in details, not only in details of the palace, it is also in details of the history in this very special region of Spain. And Ana excelled in every detail. The tour with her was very educating but at the same time very relaxed. Very recommendable.

Really great tour with incredibly knowledgeable local tour guide Ana of the generalife palace, gardens and Alhambra. We especially loved the focus on the Muslim history of Granada and Andalusia. Thanks so much to Ana, would definitely recommend this detailed and engaging tour.

There was a little bit confusion about the meeting point. Luckily we found the sign for Café Bar and Anna was waiting for us. Anna was extremely patient with everyone in the tour. I had a great time. It was well worth it.

Our guide gave excellent information about the Alhambra. We had an excellent time and I highly recommend this tour.

Pepa fue una guía excelente! Altamente recomendada
