E quedado enamorada de Granada, gracias a las experiencias que tuve con este tour. As a solo traveler I loved the fact that I had the opportunity to make friends with people in the group. As for the tour in itself, if you’re looking for a tour that not only has beautiful sights but also gives you the opportunity to learn & really embrace the beauty of the Alhambra etc… this tour is for you! Manu (the tour guide) was down to earth and truly one who loves teaching. Manu motivated everyone to learn and honestly immerse oneself into the culture/history. I cannot recommend this tour enough ❤️pattyperez1974

Hands down the best tour we went on during our time in Spain. The Alhambra and Generalife are beautiful, and Manu (our guide) was really, really great. Knew a ton of information, made it interesting, and had great recommendations on where to go after! He made the effort to really engage with everyone in the group and we all laughed a lot. It's always a good sign when you have a guide that's so personable and friendly you'd want to grab a drink with after! :) Oh, and make sure you bring your passport — I didn't and had to run back to the hotel which was quite the jaunt, but thankfully I didn't miss too much.
