“Abel was very knowledgeable about the Alhambra and shared lots of interesting information. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to hear him, as he was much softer-spoken than the other guides around us. He kept us at a good pace to see everything, but didn't slow down much for us to take pictures, so we kept falling behind him. Thankfully, we had earpieces so we could still hear him (softly) even when we fell behind. All in all, it was a great tour of a place I have long wanted to see! We wouldn't have experienced nearly as much on our own without him.Read more”

We went with 2 young children (6 and 10), and he made a 3.5 hour tour totally enriching and enjoyable for the whole family, we left completely satisfied and felt the whole experience was perfect. He shared all the knowledge he could, was attentive to the group, let us know the timelines for breaks and bathroom stops. It was just great.”

“Raphael our guide was very knowledgeable. I was travelling with my elderly parents (70yrs+) and he told them the easier tracks to walk. The tour went for nearly 3hrs so we definitely got our monies worth. Also definitely better to do the early 8am start if you are there in summer to avoid the heat in the middle of the day”

“This tour is the best way to get a well-rounded understanding of this major historical site. Gustavo, our guide, made sure to include everyone, took care to answer all questions, and provided a wealth of information that would be missed if you tried to see this site without an expert. Not only did he teach us about the purpose, construction methods, major historical events, and all sorts of context from Spain's history, but also the tour was well-paced, entertaining, and fun. I appreciated the way Gus helped us "beat the heat" by taking care to walk in the shade as well as pointing out the best photo spots. I highly…”
