This is the second time I take this private tour with ESTHER and I would do it so again every time I would come back The place is magical but her explanations and rich pieces of history makes this even more wonderful ESTER WAS INCREDIBLE She exceeds always my expectations She provided the right amount of information , all historical and filled with detailed to helps us better understand the story, the origins behind the wonders we were presented Same as in my first time , but due to weather this time around, she knew the right moment and best order to visit each building / part to maximize the time and avoid the big crowds We never felt being hurried to comply with a time limit but the hours we spent inside Alhambra passed by so fast Thank you Esther for sharing your morning with us

Our guide Ester was wonderful in making the Alhambra and its spaces come alive. This site was a must see for us and her tour did not disappoint. She provided a thorough and lively history of the site and its rulers. Just all over fantastic!

Esther was a great guide! She was friendly and patient with our family that at times moved slowly. She was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to our needs and questions. The tour was a perfect experience of the Alhambra

We just returned from a combined Grand Mediterranean and Transatlantic cruise lasting 28-days. We visited many amazing ports, but Malaga was one of our very favorites specifically because of this private tour of Alhambra. To alleviate any concerns about "missing the boat" afterwards, we had booked the ship's "Granada on Your Own" excursion for the guaranteed return transportation between Malaga and Granada. Once in Granada we took a taxi to a cafe near the entrance of Alhambra, where we met our private guide - Juan Vera. I cannot imagine visiting this amazing place without Juan. Yes, we would have appreciated the beauty of Alhambra and the Palaces without him - but we would have missed out on learning about the complex history and culture which are at least as important, and just as fascinating. Juan is knowledgeable and an excellent speaker/teacher, and his passion for Alhambra is contagious. His English is flawless, his pace was easy and relaxed and we comfortably covered the entire place in the allotted time. And we had him all to ourselves! Do yourself a favor - don't make a mistake and think you can just show up at Alhambra and get in - there were a lot of disappointed passengers who made that assumption. And if you do manage to get admission tickets in advance, don't think you can get as much from a pre-recorded tape and headset or even a "group tour". This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so do it right. Book this private tour with La Vacanza Travel, and with luck you may get Juan as your guide. You will not be disappointed.
