Our guide Alberto was extremely knowledgeable and spoke clearly and well, answering all our questions. He explained the history of the Alhambra and the city, and picked out interesting points throughout the tour. Really impressive and very enjoyable.

We bought this guided tour of Alhambra including Generlife and Nasrid palaces with Alberto. He was really a nice guy and knew all the information about the Alhambra and its history. I can only recommend to have this guided tour if you are going to visit Alhambra.
