It was such a wonderful experience and we highly recommend this tour.”

“I signed up for this tour because there were no more tickets available for the Alhambra while we were in Granada and my friends and I really wanted to see it. But now I am so glad we signed up for the tour because I think it elevated the whole visit. Our guide, Gabriella, was very knowledgeable and showed us the most important sights. We were all given headsets so it was easy to hear and understand even when we were wandering through crowded areas. The tour was well paced and designed and we walked away with a much better experience than what I think we would have had if…”

“We missed the tour. While the meeting place had an address, it states numerous times church Notre Dame. Our taxi driver dropped us off at the Notre Dame church; unknowingly to us, there at two Notre Dame churches in Paris. We were at the famous, most known Notre Dame church and this was the wrong location.”
