Die Alhambra ist eine sehr beeindruckende Anlage mit einer besonderen Geschichte. Wir hatten einen ausgezeichneten Führer, und den braucht man auch, um alles richtig zu verstehen. Wir hatten keinen Zugang zum Palast, aber es hat sich trotzdem sehr gelohnt.

Wir hatten das Glück, einen Führer, Antonio, zu haben, der uns auf der Tour begleitete und uns jedes kleine Detail über den monumentalen Komplex der Alhambra erzählte. Alles mit großer Kompetenz und Leidenschaft und sogar einer Prise Ironie, die hier und da in die dreistündige Tour eingestreut wurde.

Paulas Vorbereitung, der Leitfaden. Sie hatte für alles eine Antwort. Die Tour ist sehr unterhaltsam und interessant. Wir gingen in der Hochsaison und es gab immer einen Platz für Erklärungen. Dankeschön

Wirklich gute Buchung und der Besuch der Alhambra war erstaunlich. Definitiv benötigt, um den Reisepass zu bringen, da es viele Kontrollpunkte während des Besuchs waren.

Alhambra ist atemberaubend. Nichts, wie ich jemals zuvor gesehen habe. Die Erfahrung und unser Führer waren alle wunderbar. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Das Wetter während unseres Besuchs war perfekt, aber ich habe gehört, dass es im Sommer zu heiß sein kann. Achten Sie darauf, bequeme Schuhe zu tragen - es ist ein Spaziergang. Aber buchen Sie es auf jeden Fall.
