Really enjoyable trip! The guide who took us round Alhambra was amazing, she was super knowledgeable, we loved the tour! Our driver and guide were really friendly and we enjoyed our time in Granada. We wish we’d had more time to explore Granada and a walking tour of the city as part of the overall tour package would have helped us get more out of our time in this amazing city. Really glad we made the trip and everything was arranged professionally and the trip was well organised.

The bus a bit late for pick up but it was pretty much a nonissue since the trip unfolded wonderfully. Javier was fantastic and very entertaining in both Spanish ang English on the bus tour to Granada. The guide on location was absolutely wonderful and clearly very knowledgeable and interested in Alhambra and it's history. As a Muslim tourist I was pleasantly taken aback. Definitely recommending others take the trip.

The trip was good, the guide Jorge and the driver Miguel were fantastic, but we wish we had more free time in Granada city to take a long walk, and enjoy tapas before leaving to Alhambra. Also, it would be better if Alhambra tour was a bit slower, it is a breathtaking complex worth admireing, and it would be nice to have more stops during the tour. All in all, magnificent, but for us too short, it should be a whole day trip.
