Discover the Alhambra with guide Mathías

We had a guided tour of the Alhambra with the excellent guide Mathías. His knowledge of the history, architecture and culture of the Alhambra was fantastic, and he explained everything in a fascinating and enthusiastic way. He took the time to answer questions and the tour was well structured; he also showed us photos on his iPad. We learnt a great deal, but we also really enjoyed the visit and Mathías’s company. Thanks to his stories and explanations, the rich history of the Alhambra really came to life. We can wholeheartedly recommend this guide to anyone visiting the Alhambra who wants to understand more about this special place. Thank Mathias for this wonderful experience!

Alhambra tour with Edwardo.

We booked a private tour and lucked out when we met Edwardo, our guide. Not only was Edwardo knowledgeable about the history of the Alhambra, but, as a degreed landscape architect, he also expanded his knowledge of the plants and trees in the gardens. I highly recommend taking a private tour!
