Gaby was very communicative ahead of the tour and helpful in planning. Our tour with Gaby was informative and flexible to our preferences. We got so much more out of our visit to the Alhambra and the city center with a guide. Highly recommend!
Gaby was very prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. We also much appreciated her help explaining during the booking process how to go about getting which actual entry tickets to the Alhambra. We much appreciated her tour.
I highly recommend this tour but, more specifically, you need to ask for Ruth. Everywhere I travel I hire a tour guide; and Ruth was, hands down, the best tour guide I've ever had. She has a gift for making history come alive plus she has a rare gift of being a gentle extrovert. She knows when to chat and when to be friendly, but she also can tell when to give the people on her tour time to reflect.
We started outside the hotel called The Parador and she took us everywhere! We paused outside Charles V palace and the tales she told about him where hilarious but always with a touch of respect. I could feel that Spaniards, in general, disliked his palace but appreciated what he did in the area. Next were the Nasrid Palaces and she made the history come alive. She pointed out pieces of the buildings that I never would have noticed and, as she spoke, made me happy with Queen Isabel for not destroying the place, mad at the French army that tried to blow it up, and impressed with the sultan by how he used architecture to remind people that he was king.
We also saw the Generalife (the gardens) and the amount of knowledge she can effortlessly recall was just incredible. She turns it all into the type of story that I didn't want to end. I wanted to hire her for my whole trip and just have her hang out with me and tell me about everything I was looking at!
She was also very open and happy to explain about the current culture. I was confused about how to order at restaurants (and after she explained what to do I felt so much more relaxed about trying to eat out) and about standing in lines. It seemed to me that Spaniards didn't like to stand in lines at all and would try to cut at every chance. She said I was right, explained why, and had me laughing so hard I started crying.
For me, this tour guide was expensive but I can guarantee that Ruth made it worth every single penny. She is amazing, personable, intelligent, and literally the best tour guide I've had.
Atração imperdível, mistura de culturas, simplesmente espetacular. Destaque para a guia Gaby: além de competente, leve, super agradável e bem-humorada!
