La guía no nos dió información con contenido histórico relevante y perdió mucho el tiempo con trivialidades y juegos sin sentido de cristianos/árabes. Falta de profesionalidad.

I appreciate a lot trip by Marc. Although we were in Granada before, it was the first opportunity for us to have a guided tour. Marc is a very professional guide who shared his knowledge with tje group. He built very good contact with the group, shared historical / social facts in a very fun way. It was one of the best tours I have had so far. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND. The only thing I suggest to consider is booking more time, as our trip took more than 2 hours.

Carlos es un guía realmente extraordinario. El recorrido en sí es una preciosidad, pero el buen hacer de Carlos hace que la visita sea de 10.

A lot to cover in a short time and Ramón provided an interesting talk as we walked a route that we’d not have found on our own. Lots of interesting information
