Alhambra Special Guided Tour in English

Marabella had a lovely voice and an enormous group to coral. She did an excellent job. I really don't know how she did it. She was calm and patient, knowledgable and competent while trying manage 30 people.
I liked her voice and her manner. It was not lost on me that Marabella chose an excellent course through the Alhambra so we could see it all. The gardens were empty when we walked through. The bell tower was busy but we beat the ridiculous line to the viewpoint.(It was the free day to ring the bell.)
We got to the line promptly at 1:00pm. And two people who were late were able to catch up with us at the church and not miss that Alhambra palace itself. Bravo. The best thing was the content. Most of these tours and we have done our fair share the guide has done it so many times they are bored. It's like putting a coin in a machine and hearing the recorded message. I'm sure Marabella has done this tour hundreds of times but I couldn't tell. She treated us like she was seeing it for the first time. She keep us all together, kept up the banter so we could find her, and stayed on script. The best part was her ease with answering questions. She was obviously very knowledgeable about the Alhambra and enthusiastic to share what she knew. Some guides are not as good off script.
The one thing that is missing from all of these tours is visual aids. Pictures of what it might have looked like back in the day, wooden puzzle on how they put the roof together, something tangible that we can touch and hold or see to understand. How did they do the inlay? How did they do it? Don't just tell me they were good at math. Show me. It would make it more memorable. Julia

We greatly enjoyed our tour of Alhambra with Edu... He not only gave us the historical significance and stories about the places we visited, but he also gave us commentary about what we were seeing in present day, such as the foliage, ruins, and buildings...This kept us engaged and also aware of things that we otherwise would have missed.

Edu was very friendly! The stories and explanation is interesting and in detail. He could answer all tourists’ questions, even young kids’. We thank him for his kind and appropriate service.

It probably would be better if you indicate the ticket office’s address more specifically, such as providing Google MAP link or ticket office’s OFFICIAL name in Spanish. Since there are several entrances of Alhambra, and the ticket office is named in Spanish, we were a little bit in doubt in heading to the meeting point. The picture of meeting point was great though.

Very competent and symathic guide.
Almadena explained the highlights very lovely and with passion and had a very caring eye to keep our group together. A big thank you also to Eva who helped us for some passport details before the Tour. A great Team! We enjoyed the morning at Alhambra so much and recommend it definitely to other families and travelers.

No doubt - The Alhambra tour was the high light of our Andalusia visiting. Almodena Martinez, our guide, was more then 10, she guided the group with passion and and did it in pleasant and interesting way.
Please - tell Almodena how grateful we are
