Gustavo, our guide, was excellent. He was passionate about the monument and his presentation was humorous. He was knowledgeable of historical information.

Being in Alhambra was amazing, the trip was worth it. Despite a few glitches, everything ran pretty smoothly. Our guide at the Alhambra was friendly, knowledgable, and kept good pace.

Unfortunately, the host on the coach (Andrea) spoke too fast and her English was not good enough for us to understand. We could only understand a few words and the narrative sounded like it was read from a history book. The mid journey stop was ok but not great as it was just a motorway service area. The guide at al hambra (Andy) was ok. Our lunch break was supposed to be an hour but it was only 45 minutes, so by the time we had been served lunch we didnt have time to finish it. The guide at the royal palace (Sarah) was excellent. She was friendly, calm and gave very clear explanations and she was patient with everyone. Unfortunately, apart from Sarah, it was a poor experience for us.

This was a really good tour. Despite being a long travel day (nearly 3 hours there, 3 hours back), it all felt worth it. The drive was broken up both ways for a break which was helpful. The time in Granada itself was also really nice. The tour of Albayzin was informative we had some nice free time for lunch and shopping. The tour of Alhambra was fantastic. It’s a beautiful monument and shouldn’t be missed! Everything was very well organized and seamless. Thank you for a great day!

Granada, Alhambra and Albacin were wonderful sites to visit. It was difficult to fully understand the tourguides. I need to brush up on my Spanish.

Valatina took us through the most amazing time in history - her enthusiasm, and ability to manage time so we could enjoy each site plus provide interesting background knowledge was so enjoyable.

It was a long day but well worth it. Order tickets to Alhambra ahead of time though! Daniella was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable and hospitable
