10/10 experience, would do again! - Had an amazing tour with our guide Javi! Knowledgeable, without being overwhelming, the pacing was perfect and we stopped at some amazing spots to take beautiful pictures of the Alhambra in the golden hour. Bonus - a lot of those spots were less known and therefore less crowded. Would most definitely recommend and do again!

We had amazing views of the Alhambra at sunset in a quiet, lesser known spot.
Thanks Javi!

Excellent visit by pomegranate - The visit has been very pleasant and interesting. It has allowed us to know corners of pomegranate that otherwise we could not have found, moving away from the most crowded tourism to know the most local customs and traditions.
Alejandro, our guide has made our visit very enjoyable and entertaining. Highly recommended
