Traveler reviews
If you love culture, sun and good food and are not in a hurry this trip is now the 2nd a big 9
We sat nearby (Comares) in a B&B Finca elements. Quiet place looking over a valley with a lovely avpndzon and our drink. Beautiful rooms, a swimming pool in the garden and after a refreshing swim delicious dishes made by the hostess Madelon and excellent matching wines with our courses by Marc. Granada is a beautiful city, wonderful to stroll around and the route is just as delightful. Granada is highly recommended and you will not regret it. Erik
Exceptional experience
This was an exceptional experience and our guide, Sara, made the visit memorable!! Her knowledge of history exceeded our expectations! My husband has walking difficulties and Sara was very mindful of this.
Great tour!
Great private tour with lots of historical insight. Arrived 15 minutes early to get ticket and were promptly guided in skipping the line. Would say it was worth the extra $$ for the detailed explanations, allowed us to really appreciate it much more!
Great tour of the...
Great tour of the Alhambra with Laura. She was lovely. Very knowledgable. The “skip the line private tour” made our time there easy to navigate.
Worth it
