Hi. Izaskun is a really lovely guide. Enjoyed seeing the city with her. Highly recommended! Thank you
This tour should not been taken by anyone who is not in pretty good physical condition as there are a LOT of steps and lots of walking. That said, this two part tour was brilliant. Both guides we had were friendly and very knowledgeable and made the tours interesting. We took the bus (C32) from the Isabel la catolica stop and got it back to the same stop. You can walk but we were so tired after the tour we decided not to. Definitely a tour we would recommend.
Granada and Alhambra is a stunning piece of Spain’s history, our guide Luis was a wealth of knowledge. He took us through a journey in time of this palace/fortress/city and water source - Alhambra’s lifecycle with its gardens is magical. Thanks Luis!
