Excellent value for money to visit all of Granada… Everything of interest is included in the package, including the entire Alhambra (Nasrid palaces included). Only one QR code to present at each visit. There is even a 2-hour guided tour for a nocturnal discovery of Albaycin and Sacromonte… Be careful, it's on foot. , not always easy after a busy day…. But the pass is valid for 48 hours…. The only downside is having to pick up the pass at the agency in an area that is not very accessible by car... It would be better to be able to print it at home...

Worth every single penny to reserve this private tour! Maria Jesus was a fantastic host! She was knowledgeable, passionate, entertaining, and totally got our humour. I plan to return with my family and would definitely request to book with Maria again. As for Alhambra, it is 100% not to be missed! One must see this spectacular palace if you are anywhere remotely close to Granada. Maria Jesus, thank you for the wonderful, personal experience as well as the perfect restaurant and drinks recommendations. You made our Granada experience!!

The tour to Andalusia is highly recommended, the times in each place are adequate, there is enough time in each one to get to know them, the guides are excellent, pleasant and with a very good disposition, the hotels where we stayed very good with very good and abundant food . Highly recommend taking this tour.

It was a great experience for me and my family. The motor coaches were comfortable. The side excursions were very nice. A lot of walking on uneven surfaces. Wear good and comfortable shoes are.

As a first time solo traveler to Europe, I felt this trip has great value. I enjoyed my experience and will book again.
