Rasha was a wonderful ambassador to the city of Granada! She was very knowledgeable about the historic sites and shared much about the past. Chatting about current life was very interesting too. We were thankful that she took time to help orient us around the area so we could find our way without her help. This tour was our first experience in Granada and gave us the background to learn more on our own explorations of the city and to connect to the information shared on subsequent tours.
