We had our wonderful tour guide Miguel pick us (5 friends and myself) up at our AirBnB with no problem. There was a small mix up with the pick up time but the tour company was very quick to respond to me the night before (pretty late at night) with the correct times. The trip is LONG tiring and TOTALLY WORTH IT! Granada and La Alhambra are the finest examples of Moorish art work anywhere in Spain! We stopped at a lovely road side restaurant for a quick breakfast complete with cute, friendly cats to pet! Then we drove through the countryside and saw a million olive trees. Miguel answered all of our questions and was very informative along the way. Once we arrived in Granada we got a private tour of the city and hiked up to the best view points to see La Alhambra. Afterwards we stopped in a local favorite place for traditional tapas. Miguel ordered for us so we could enjoy the finest food! It was a treat and delicious! We were then dropped off at La Alhambra for our skip the line guided tour. So breathtaking and wonderful . words cannot describe the experience. Miguel met us afterwards to drive us back to Seville we slept most of the way. I recommend this company completely for a great trip and a great experience!

Fantastic Trip

The whole transfer trip from Seville to Granada was fantastic. We requested for a short visit at Ronda to see its beautiful gorge and we love it! Our tour guide, Javier was knowledgable, helpful and accommodating throughout the whole trip. Would definitely recommend them to those who are planning to visit Spain!
