Thanks Guide Alex Mauri Lewis for saving the day and making it great! - Guide Alex Mauri Lewis: You literally helped make my tour actually happen! My visit was on the day after the only time the all of Spain ever lost power, that lasted for much of a day. As I was coming from Cordoba by train in the next morning for the Alhambra afternoon tour, and the rail system was in chaos, you were able to help me navigate cancelled trains, a late arriving train, with calls to police, the railways, and emergency services to get me info and help me get to Granada. Your insider knowledge of the Alhambra’s notoriously strict non-exceptions for late entry enabled me to obtain a written letter from the railway, the only permitted exception that allowed me to enter after my late arrival! What a day! You saved my day, with your insider knowledge and problem solving, going way beyond to keep me informed and with info what to do — and then gave me a fabulous tour which was amazing. Your knowledge and passion for the place really made it come alive—it was unforgettable. You explained the architecture and history in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way, and your excitement was contagious! As I wishes to take many photos you allowed me the time and also made great suggestions for shots. It was the perfect mix of fun and learning. Your tour really stood out because of your positiveness and professionalism. It’s so clear that you love what you do, and that made all the difference. Thanks again for such a fantastic experience!

An excellent tour of the Alhambra - The private tour of the Alhambra with Elias as our excellent tour guide was both informative and entertaining. As we toured through the various palaces and gardens of this extraordinary site he provided a running commentary of its relevant history underlying the construction and future occupation so that we felt we had a true grasp of Alhambra's amazing story. We enjoyed this tour very much indeed and were able to construct an excellent photo library as we walked through the buildings and grounds helped by Elias highlighting many key aspects and context to what we were seeing. I would highly recommend this tour.

Alhambra - We had an incredible tour of the Alhambra, and we fully credit that to our guide, Alex. Just before our tour began, a complete blackout occurred, but Alex handled the situation seamlessly. We had two children, ages 7 and 8, with us, and Alex managed to keep them engaged while also providing the adults with a rich and informative experience—something we never would have gotten on a group tour. The Alhambra is a truly special place, and Alex was the perfect guide to deepen our appreciation of its history and grandeur.

Nico is an incredible... - Nico is an incredible guide. He walked us throughout the Alhambra complex. He was well prepared and he answered our endless stream of questions and provided a lot of valuable context and history to help us understand Spain, Granada and how the Alhambra fits in. His English is fluent and he is cheerful and funny. This tour was a highlight of our trip!

An Amazing Tour - A well organised tour of one of Europe’s most popular attractions. The tour guide met with us at the appointed time and place, away from the crowds of the larger groups. The guide, Abubakr, was very professional and knew the Alhambra very very well. The tour commenced in the Generalife, continued through the gardens and concluded at the Nazrid palaces of Yusef and his son. We left knowing far more about both Alhambra and Islamic art and architecture than we thought possible, all without being rushed.

Guided tour through Alhambra with Ester - Our tour guide Esther was not able to speak English well, which made it very difficult to understand her. For 600 bucks. Her pronunciation was not refined enough to make her get across what she wanted to say. Furthermore, her historical input was not structured and at times seemed random. Very nice lady but inadequate tour guide. Won’t recommend!
