Excellent tour with Javi!

Stacey_A, Jun 2025

Our first time visiting Spain/Alhambra, wanted to make the most of our experience and decided to book a private tour guide. And, I’m so glad I did! Our guide was Javier “Javi”, and he was EXCELLENT! We could not have been more pleased with our tour. Javi was extremely knowledgeable about the region, the Alhambra, and all its history. He was passionate about the history. And, so patient with our questions. I highly recommend this tour and if considering, certainly seek out and inquire about Javier as your guide. Thank you Javi, Stacey and Jeff Angelini

The Best Guide ever

Michael_K, Sep 2024

I would give him 10 stars. I highly recommend our local tour guide Javier. I use a mobility scooter and I booked this private tour from the U.S because of the description. We communicated using whatsapp and he was right on time to meet our tour bus. His knowledge of the Alhambra and ability to navigate the site allowed me access using ramps. He was the best guide I have had in over 45 years of international travel.

Mike, thank you so much for your review. Making sure you enjoyed your time at the Alhambra to the fullest was a real pleasure for me. There are no words to express my gratitude for this incredible comment. I really enjoy my job and with visitors like you it is a real luxury. Thank you so much.

A visit to the fabulous Alhambra.

Our visit to the Alhambra, was an amazing and enjoyable experience. Our guide, Javier, was fabulous. He shared a lot of valuable information with us about the history of the Alhambra and about the city of Granada from past to present in a very pleasant and easy to understand way. We highly recommend this tour.
