Ana’s Alhambra Tour Exceeded All Expectations! - Ana made the Alhambra tour the highlight of our trip to Granada! We learned so much of the area’s rich history and a lot of amazing “behind the scenes” stories that made the tour even more enlightening and fun! Her bubbly and outgoing persona punctuated the tour with anecdotes and other fun facts that gave a new perspective to the “history” we learned in school. We will go out of our way to book a tour with her next time when we bring the whole family. Do not miss Ana’s Alhambra tour!

Exceptional and informative tour - Asier has an encyclopedic knowledge, not only of the Alhambra, but the whole of Spanish history. He’s able to offer incredible and detailed context for everything you come across on the tour. The Alhambra is so big and so nuanced that I think it would impossible to absorb all of it alone or even with an audio guide. Asier, on the other hand, brings the palace to life and my family and I are very grateful to have had such an expert guide for such a significant part of Spanish and European history.

Went above and beyond!! - First of all, Asier was amazing. We goofed while planning this tour as we didn’t realize or think that our hotel was 1 and 1/2 hours away from Alhambra. I reached out to him and he was able to get a van and driver for us the night before. He went above and beyond for our family. The tour was great and very interesting to hear about the history of this place. I highly recommend.

Amazing experience - Asier provided an amazing experience right from the start. Once the booking was completed, he contacted us immediately to reserve our tickets for the best time possible. He was very knowledgeable and provided insights you wouldn’t get in bigger groups. We were traveling with our 7 year old, Asier managed to keep her engaged. He even showed her how and where to take the best pictures.

A memorable experience - Booking this private tour was best choice for us to enjoy a great Alhambra experience. We were positively impressed even before the tour started; the communication with the tour's representative was easy and prompt, we received in advance all the details about the meeting point, starting time, contact of our guide. Everything was very clear and helpful. The time spent at Alhambra and Generalife was wonderful. Anna, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable. She provided us with so many information not only about the history and architecture of Alhambra and Generalife, but even literature references, local legends and information about Granada in general. Everything at our own pace, without rushing and allowing time for sightseeing and taking pictures. At the end of the tour she even shared directions and a list with attractions in Granada and nice places for dinner. Anna went above and beyond to make it a truly outstanding experience.
