Great Guide and tour
Wasn't sure what to expect with the Alhambra but was blown away with the history, scale of the site and stories. It was busy but our guide (Mar) was excellent so we never noticed the crowds
Fantastic guide and tour
Fernando was an excellent guide. Super knowledgeable about the Alhambra and Nasrid palace. Also, as a native of Granada he knew everything about the history of the city and surrounding area. Probably one of the best tours I have ever experienced.
