Visiting the Alhambra was a highlight of our trip to Spain. Everything was well organized, and the palaces and gardens are stunning. Our guide Sabina was fantastic: very knowledgeable, but also fun and engaging the whole time. Highly recommended, and ask for Sabina if you can!
Sabina is a very nice guide, gentle and clear with explanations.
