We really enjoyed the visit. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable with a very good level of English. We were very happy to have booked that visit. We would recommend it.
Thank you very much we appreciate a lot your support! Kind regards!
Very good visit with a lot of history. Very friendly guide and with a lot of knowledge and easy to explain in a fun way.
Our tour guide was Gosia. Her English was perfect and she was incredibly knowledgable about the cathedral. We loved how she explained the culture, religious, and social issues related to the cathedral. She also made sure my husband and I had enough opportunities to sit (resting from walking on the marble floor). The tour was tailor-made for us by Gosia. We loved the tour and Gosia.
Our guide (Gosia?) was amazing and knowledgeable- an amazing experience - we both learned so much. We now understand Granada more fully
Rosa is a very charming lady with lots of knowledge. It was nice doing a walk with her. We feel she needs to talk a bit higher and also put in priority the tour and not her comfort. We were expecting something better due to the amount of money we paid. Not totally worth it.
Renata was on time waiting for us at hotel and started presentation as soon as we left it. She is full of Granada knowledge and presents it in very professional way. She is also very flexible to meet her clients' needs.
Thank you so much! We are very happy that you have enjoyed your tour!
We absolutely loved this tour. I wanted an in depth tour to learn more about the history of Granada and in particular Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. Our guide Gosia was able to relate the information to us in a way that really brought everything to life. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Granada. We are very thankful and would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Granada.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It makes us extremely happy that you have enjoyed your tour and that it fulfilled your expectations!
Gosia (we hope it is spelled correctly), was excellent, very interesting, very detailed, with excellent personality. I take time to answer questions and emphasized the right areas. From 1-5 (5 excellent), by consensus, we give you 5+.
