Vacations - Carmen was an excellent guide. He explained very well, he took the tour at a comfortable pace as there were many climbs up the street and stairs.

Description does not do it justice. Sunset history tour with so much local charm - Description does not do it justice! It’s a gorgeous sunset tour where the guide knew all the best spots to admire Alhambra in three different shades as the sun progressively set. Our guide was also an excellent photographer so we all walked away with the best pics. All of these spots also had someone playing the guitar, dancing flamenco etc which didn’t feel staged but rather incredibly charming. The guide also gave us just the right amount of information about the history and ethnic stories of the area and gave us a lot of local recommendations. It was excellent

Great tour and beautiful sunset - We had a great time with Pablo, he was knowledgeable and fun to talk to. It was interesting to learn about the Flamenco history in Sacromonte and the caves. Pablo showed us a couple of great viewpoints on Alhambra and we had amazing sunset pictures, he even recommended some nice Tapas bars which we appreciated.

Unfortunate - Very disappointed! We went to the meeting place well in advance of 8 pm slot! First, the shop is closed and no one came to meet us! We waited in vain till 8:30 pm!
There was no contact info for contacting in such scenario!
Utterly pathetic, especially when you are in a tight schedule and every moment counts!
