Este tour 100% recomendado

An incredible experience. Bus was very comfortable and guides were excellent at telling stories and history. This is definitely worth the long trek in my opinion. The castle tour is a once in a lifetime experience. I think it should be on everyone's bucket list.

Great trip - packed a lot in a long day! The Alhambra tour was terrific - Carlos Fuentes was an excellent guide for our group. And Petra was a great overall guide.

One of the highlights when staying in Almería! Wish I could ride through the desert every day ^^ truly an amazing experience.

The knowledge of the guides specially Alba at Alhambra was increíble. Learned a lot.
