Oscar was a great guide. We had about 20 people - not too many but Oscar did a great job keeping tabs on everyone. This tour is one you should do at the beginning of your visit as you may discover some things you'll want to go back to. The finishing afternoon catamaran tour was very nice. Had calm seas and nice weather. The marina area was nice and the staff was very attentive.
It is a very long day with lots of walking, steps, and steep inclines. Going up And down these places is not for those who cannot do This physically
Very informative, great sights. Some walking, but not too strenuous and ride provided up to Gibralfaro/Alcazaba The catamaran was a nice relaxing way to finish the tour
3hours of the walking tour. Then a 2 hour break. Last is an hour boat ride. Lots of history and Spanish interpretation.
A general overview and a very good walk. For a first time visitor I was expecting more depth on the history and points of interest. The guide was very good and very pleasant and answered my questions when asked.
Really lovely tour which gave us lots of information on the key areas of the city. Oscar, the guide, was really informative and gave clear instructions on the format of the day.
The explanation of the history was fantastic. Enrique was a great tour guide and very accommodating with mobility challenges. Enrique used his local connection at a popular restaurant to get us a table, which was very unexpected. I would ask for him if you can.
Enrique was a wonderful tour guide. So informative and he made the tour so interesting. He was so knowledgeable and explained things in such great detail. I would not hesitate to schedule another tour with him. Thank you Enrique for taking such good care of us!!!!
