The architecture in the Alcazar was beautiful. Whilst the guide was good, unfortunately her microphone was too far from her mouth and picked up other noises too easily and also broke up a few times

Our guide, Manuel. He was friendly and very knowledgeable, and shared some fascinating historical insights. I definitely recommend the skip-the-line tour of the Alcaraz.

Clear instructions about the meeting point, a small group (7 people), and a guide who knows a lot about history and can convey that information in an engaging way.

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We took a tour with just seven people, which made it easy for us to hear the guide’s explanations.

The guide was knowledgeable, available on time, and helpful in other matters (toilet locations). The only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars was, although she had good english, her spanish accent meant some words were confused which on a few accasions lead to misunderstanding. However, this was a small matter.
