An entertaining, informative visit to the Alhambra.

Chema showed us around the entire Alhambra. He shared a lot of history, legends, and interesting stories. He also pointed out the best picture spots. Our experience was much more complete with Chemo as our guide. He clearly loves the Alhambra.

Great experience

Christian, our guide, was excellent. We had a private 2 person tour and worth every dollar. We learned so much, he was so patient yet enthusiastic in answering our questions. He was supportive when he ask the question to walk up 68 stairs vs 1 for a particular view and I responded 68! He clearly enjoys being a guide. Would request him again. And ask him about dinosaurs. He’s an expert.

nice tour, likeable guide

Cristian met us in time in front of the entrance and we started with a tour of the Generalife. After that we proceeded to the Alhambra, and got to see all the palaces. Cristian was polite and likeable and able to tell sufficient background info and some myths about the place. He managed to navigate the spaces well given the other large groups present. To get 5 stars I'd expect more in-depth information on the architectural aspects (e.g. building technique, use of sprecific plants etc.) as well as slightly more historical context - Cristians tour style is sufficient for a group with average interest, my husband and me being an architect and a historian, we'd have appreciated a slightly higher level of expertise. We communicated our interest, but I suspect that there was a slight language barrier too. Overall a nice tour and a likeable guide - we do recommend to take the time slot 16:00 or later, the crowds were alright and you get to see the sunset.

Amazing, must see, treasure of a place and tour!

The whole tour was a visual delicacy! On top of it, what really enhanced the visit was how incredible Antonio was.....so knowledgeable! We learned so very much about the history behind all the beauty we saw. He was also GREAT with our two kids, as well as my senior aged in-laws! A DEFINITE!!!!!

Mariola ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Katha, Oct 2022

Mariola was a tremendous guide. She knew so much about El Elhambra, Spanish history, and culture. She pivoted easily to our interests and answered our most mundane, ridiculous, and detailed question. We all learned about one another during the tour. Best way to tour El Elhambra is with a guided tour.
