Daniel is the best tour guide ever. He told us a lot about Spain and Andalusia during the bus transfer and even he was not supposed to guide us from Alhambra to the city center, he did that and explained us which points we should visit next so that we do not lose time in this precious city. He spoke English and Spanisch on native level. I highly recommend the tours with Daniel!

Immersive experience, thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Emilio who patiently gave us an extensive historical and cultural perspective about the dynasty that ruled Alhambra. It's a tad too long and tiring but it was money and time well-spent!

Our guide was very informed and was able to bring us back to the time of the sultan and you feel like you could envision how it was during that time. Our guide was amazing.

Pedro was fantastic- knowledgeable and patient. He very much enhanced the experience. Thoroughly recommended

Wonderful tour, slow paced, guide was easy to understand!
