We took a guided tour of the Alhambra today with Diana, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging, and guided us through the stunning palaces with their breathtaking Moorish architecture. We also visited the beautiful Generalife gardens. The three hours flew by, and we were honestly sad when the tour ended. A truly wonderful experience, made even better thanks to Diana's excellent guidance. Highly recommended!
