Great guide, well informeel, Good contact with Group especially belgians ;-) One critic: for elderly People stairs are painfull. So mounting the hill to where the water came in from the river didn’t inform us, delivered no beautiful views and felt absurd: mounting up the hill and straight thereafter going down again.

Really great tour with incredibly knowledgeable local tour guide Ana of the generalife palace, gardens and Alhambra. We especially loved the focus on the Muslim history of Granada and Andalusia. Thanks so much to Ana, would definitely recommend this detailed and engaging tour.

Carmen was a very passionate and expert guide. The agency contacted to confirm details the night before. In this tour we were the only guests but in general they seem to work small groups. An unforgettable experience and excellent service that made it possible

Prompt and on-time. Guide from Malaga (on the bus) was full of information, though sometimes monotonous, especially as it was dual-language (English & Spanish). Guide in Alhambra was quite knowledgeable and informative.

Great trip. Guide was very knowledgeable. Beautiful place. Love to see the gardens in bloom in the spring.
