Tour Reviews
A few years ago I visited the Alhambra without a tour guide. The truth is, apart from being beautiful, I didn’t really understand what was going on because there weren’t any information panels around the place. I have now been to visit it again, but this time I went with a private tour guide from Wanderlust Granada Tours. My family and I truly loved it. Cristina, our guide, was very friendly and she kept us very engaged and entertained. She revealed the curiosities of the monument which made me see the Alhambra through new eyes, understanding its origins and meaning. What’s more, at the end of the visit Cristina gave us a small thank you gift. Highly recommended!
