Picked us up on time at cruise port. Communicated well. Completed tour even though only 4 people signed up (unlike other operators we have experienced). Driver gave us a wonderful history as he drove us from Almeria to Granada and back (used 2 different routes so we could see different sites and history. Private guided tour of Alhambra was excellent.

We booked with Pepe's Tours via the internet, it was simple and easy to do. The tour was excellent with a very knowledgeable guide and we had a really good day. Fully recommend this company.

We came early and first of all the printed instructions were not helpful at all , you meet by a mail box . A lot of us were standing around for a long time and the guide turned up late . Did not bother filling is in with information while we were outside , we listened to the other guides from other companies . She complained about her legs and we ended up finishing up very late and thus missed another appointment . I will not use PePe tours again when booking for friends . However well worth a visit - Book Early just use another travel site

We were very disappointed with the tour guide provided by Pepe Tours, particularly given the exorbitant price we paid for the tour. Our guide was pleasant enough but clearly had little understanding of the history of the Alhambra or the people that lived there. She took us through each of the rooms of the palace giving a very high level overview of each room and making banal observations that were of little interest. The tour was meant to go for 2.5 hours but was over in 1.5 hours. A real shame as we were very excited to learn about this beautiful and interesting historical site. We would have been better off doing a self guided tour using the pre recorded audio guide.

Jättebra guide som gav oss mycket tid att ställa alla omöjliga frågor. Han hade svar på allt. Inte så mycket folk så inga köer för oss.
