Fernando was a great guide. Patient, funny and respectful. Went there with my 83 year old Dad and 65 Year Old mom. He waited and explained everything about the place and event sent us some recommendations to eat in Granada. Will definitely repeat.

My mom, aunt, and I went with Sergio through La Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens and he was super knowledgable, patient, and assertive! He kept us moving through while not making us feel rushed. His knowledge of the history really enhanced our experience and made us feel like we were taking steps back in time. He also recommended that we have a drink at the Parador de Granada and we are so glad he did! We ordered tapas and drinks and it was a perfect way to end the afternoon. Thanks, Sergio!

Sergio was a fantastic guide. I know we were able to see things that we would not have seen with a large group. His expertise was appreciated by my family. He even made accommodation for one of our group that had some mobility issues so the rest of us were not impacted & were able to see everything we wanted. I would definitely book with Sergio again!

The Alhambra is a huge attraction in Granada and not to be missed. Hiring a guide is almost necessary to fully appreciate the history of the place. Our guide Sergio was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Sergio made the tour very fun and interesting.

Borja was an excellent guide. We are very glad we picked this tour with a historian as we learned so much. He was able to explain the history, culture, and the meaning behind the architecture. We covered all the palaces, with each one more ornate than the previous one. It was a good pace. And he was able to answer all of the questions we posed.
I’d highly recommend the tour and Borja the guide.

We had a private tour for four with an exceptional historian. It makes the visit much more worthwhile.

Jana, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgable, kind and fun. We learned a great deal and had a wonderful time.

Amazing tour. The site was incredible and the input of the tour guide was great. Not only was our tour guide an excellent guide, but what a great person! We had a medical incident during the tour, and our guide went above and beyond to help us through the trying moment.

Wow what an experience! Sergio was a great guide. He was punctual, organized, flexible, responsive to our needs, knowledgeable and most importantly a great presenter with a great understanding of the magnificent buildings and grounds of the Alhambra. I had the sense that he enjoyed telling us the story and history of this unique and valuable site as much as we enjoyed listening.
We started our day with an email from Sergio reminding us of our tour and the need of passports.
We often follow Rick Steve’s’ guidebooks and when we asked questions he corrected several errors and embellished many points that Steves skimmed over.
While we were on a tight schedule with much to see we never felt rushed and Sergio always answered our questions clarifying the information he had given us.
At the end of the tour he recommended a great restaurant for us to have lunch in.
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience in a beautiful setting with a talented and knowledgeable guide and historian.
I would recommend Sergio without any hesitation. The site is so large and so complex I would not attempt seeing this beautiful location without an experienced guide. We were lucky to find Sergio

Sergio is an excellent guide, he is very knowledgeable and nice. Without him we probably wouldn’t learnt so much about it the Alhambra. We loved it, highly recommend this tour!

Sergio was awesome. Very accommodating. He knew so much about the Alhambra. Without him, I would not have enjoyed the experience even half as much. How does he know so much??? Great guide,
