Excellent tour with Marta! - We had originally planned to visit the Alhambra but every monument and museum was closed due to inclement weather so we ended up taking a private walking tour of Albayzin and Sacromonte. Marta was an excellent guide—so knowledgeable and charming—and we had such a great time despite the weather! She even gave us some great recommendations for tapas in Granada. I cannot recommend taking a tour with Marta highly enough—we love her!!

Great - Very informative tour we had with Fernando. He is very knowledgeable and patient. We learned that he and his parents are originally from Alhambra, which was evident in the passionate way he guided us through this fascinating and exciting tour. One of the best guides I’ve ever had—highly recommended!

One of the wonders of the world - Alhambra is a special place and our guide Christian bought it to life! It would have been easy to miss so much of the experience without the history and context he provided. Well worth the time and money.

Beautiful - Very enjoyable visit. We booked the tour because it was the only way to visit Alhambra, given that the ticket office of Alhambra had sold all tickets till the following month. We did not have particular expectations from the guided tour, so it was a nice surprise to find out how enjoyable and well presented it was.

Disgraceful attitude - don’t use! - It was our last day. We were looking forward very much to this tour. We arrived 10 minutes early as requested. 10 minutes after the tour was due to due to start they told us the guide had called in sick. Retund in 5 days. And marked the reason for refund as force majeur - significant global event. When I pointed out that it wasn’t she said ‘is sickness not significant enough for you!’ Rude, disorganised. Our plans for our final day are ruined. Don’t use!!!
