“The tour was very nice and interesting tour. Considering the size of the Alhambra and the many details it has, 3 hours were the best duration, in which we could learn and see enough but not ending up exhausted, even during summer.

The Alhambra is spectacular, the guide Pedro provided us interesting information and made sure the group was satisfied all the time.”

It wasn’t easy considering that Acropolis was very crowded. She gave clear instructions as to where to go for breaks and where to meet after our free time. It was a very pleasant experience to see the amazing Acropolis which housed the Parthenon, Temple of Athena, etc. We were a group of 8 and everyone agreed that it was well worth it.
