Everything was great! The driver was punctual and polite, and the guide was cheerful, friendly and communicative. The tour was interesting and educational. We really enjoyed the excursion.
Thank you very much for appreciating the professionalism and excellence of our guides and the quality of our services. We hope to see you again soon on any of our tours in Spain.
This was one of the MOST well organized, knowledgeable tours I have been in..not only on this trip but on many if pur travels (we have been to 4 continents). Lara at Yannat travel notified us about upcoming events AND kept lines of communication open at all times. I would HIGHLY recommend this company and ANY of the guides they procure. Now..Matias....He was our guide for Alhambra...It was a private tour. SO WELL WORTH IT!!! Matias was well prepared, engaging, funny. He had a wealth of information and had culled videos, pictures and even props to show us along the way. Informative and funny side stories made us feel special. I have to say that I will always remember Matias fondly.
Thank you so much for this incredible review Claudia! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear that the experience stood out among your many travels. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the organization and communication throughout. Matías will be very happy to read your kind words — he truly brings passion, knowledge and personality to every tour. Thank you again for your recommendation!
The trip from Nerja to Granada was seamless. The Alhambra tour was informative and engaging, thanks to our guide, Carlos. The free time in Granada was a highlight, giving us the chance to explore the city's historic neighborhoods.
From the comfortable ride to the fascinating Alhambra tour, everything was perfect. Our guide, Luis, was passionate about the history and shared captivating stories. The free time in Granada was a great opportunity to relax and soak in the local culture.
