The tourguide Jesus, knew so much information about the history of Alhambra. That was amazing. He took the time to show us everything. It was a great experience.

The Alhambra is marvelous--and we were able to appreciate it to the fullest thanks to Antonio's guidance, the best guide imaginable. Alternating precise historical and artistic directions with lighter, joking moments that got us into the "gossip" about the protagonists of a glorious era, Antonio expertly led us through the hidden treasures of this magical treasure chest, the Alhambra. Highly recommended visit, not to be missed!

Our guide Naomi led us through the facility with a wealth of information. She was always responsive to the children taking part. An absolute plus point. She also prepared the access to the different areas through the various security checks very well. The only drawback was that we were informed in advance that we should wait at a "meeting point" opposite the kiosk of the same name, which was indicated in an email photo. We were there on time, only to be called at the start time to find out where we were. We had to come to the cash desk and the woman with the white umbrella. This was information that we had not received in advance. But apart from that, it was a great event that our grandchildren were still raving about the day after.Anabel

The Alhambra is a unique place!!!. Our guide Cristina Vega was very charming and took us to beautiful places and with her patience she explained every detail. The three hour tour seems long but you get into the landscapes and the time flies.
