About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- rod_of_adventure0 contributionsPleasant visit to GranadaThe mini bus picked us up on time. The guide in Granada was knowledgeable and the tour was interesting. You don’t have a lot of free time, but more than some tours.Written 31 October 2024
- BeATraveler0 contributionsSkip the lines with guided tours is the most efficient way to maximize the Alhambra visit!This was a great tour - the guide was very knowledgeable and engaging at a good pace to allow time to linger in some areas of more interest. It also seemed that the organized tour groups had priority getting through lines at each area, making the tour very streamlined and less stressful. I’m sure an audio guide would be fine but the experience of having a guide to ask questions is invaluable.Written 30 October 2024
- barbarabD6162JO0 contributionsLoved our Camininto del Rey tour!Wow! This tour exceeded our expectations. We were a small group of 4. Jose was our driver to and from Granada, and he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and drove safely. At Caminito del Rey, a gorgeous area, their tour was very well organized into groups of 15-18 adults and kids. Our official guide, Javi, was educational, warm and friendly— and all safety protocols were superb. We are in our early 70’s and the tour was fast paced with about 6-7km of walking, and all very do-able. Loved our tour!Written 15 October 2024

- jackiecabrera130 contributionsSpectacular and very recommendedHighly recommended. Our driver and guide Gonzalo was excellent and took us to see some unique gems. We specially loved the visit with one of the town’s resident who invited us to see his ancient home. The landscape and the towns were spectacular.Written 14 October 2024
- vinp1230 contributionsWonderful experienceVisiting this place is a must if you are in Andalusia. Walking on the sides of the mountains and crossing the bridge is amazing. I advice periods of the year when it is not very hot. Avoid if you suffer from vertigosWritten 11 October 2024
- 536vanitap0 contributionsAlpujara did not disappointNot a comfortable minivan as promised to transport us. Though the taxi was comfortable for us English. The guide was meant to be multilingual but even the Mexicans with us found the Spanish difficult to understand English was poor too. Apart from that the tour was fantastic, we enjoyed all the sites that we visited. The roads were so well maintained even on the mountains that the ride was very comfortable. The white villages were fantastic and the ham factory, the olives and almond trees were great, the carpet weaving was great to see.Written 1 October 2024
- GoPlaces501687355290 contributionsCouldn’t have been any better.It was a great experience with our guide Gonzalo. He is very efficient pleasant. He looks after minor details and is helpful in every possible way. I will receive him to all my family and friends who are to visit this place. Best wishes to him. Good bye amigo.Written 30 September 2024
- francescasX5874SR0 contributionsCaminito Del ReyBe aware that there is 1.5km walk to the entrance, in total the walk is about 8km long accordingly to Strava. Good facilities at the end of the walk. Toilets are available at the beginning. We were advised to arrive an hour earlier however we couldn't enter before the time so were stood waiting. Stunning views along the walk would do it again.Written 29 September 2024
- rowanm2060 contributionsPampaneira y Alpujarra villagesUnique insight into the pueblos blancos of the Alpujarra. Our guide Carlos was a font of knowledge on the history, geology and culture of the region and maintained good humour throughout. Carlos is also an excellent and patient driver on the steep, winding roads. There was a good mix of coordinated group activity and time for independent exploring of the pueblosWritten 27 September 2024
- 844hals0 contributionsBeautiful city with a great tour guide!We did the half day private walking tour of Ronda with Tania. It was fantastic!! Beautiful city with all sorts of history and Tania provided all the important information on Ronda. Loved the views, the bull fighting arena, the bridges (new and old) and more. Could have asked for more on this tour.Written 26 September 2024
- Dreamer112517901560 contributionsExcellent tour of a beautiful part of Spain.This was a wonderful day trip to a very beautiful part of southern Spain. Our driver and tour guide Gonzalo had a very deep knowledge of the ancient and modern history of the Alpujarras and the communities that live there. The villages and the beautiful white stone dwellings, cobbled pavements along with breath taking views of the mountains was something to behold and treasure. The tour guide Gonzalo was charming, friendly, totally professional and had a great sense of humour. I couldn't recommend this trip strongly enough.Written 24 September 2024
- LondonRaT0 contributionsA step on the wild sideAmazing scenery with breathtaking views and an engaging guide. More info required however about the start (ticket and time entry) and end (see later). Groups too big or radio too poor as sound regularly dropped out or crackled. No mention at all of the long walk at the end which was uphill in the heat still carrying helmets plus no mention of where to pick up the bus to get back to start point. Had to pay for bus back which again wasn’t mentioned.Written 23 August 2024
- buzinapt0 contributionsPerfect tour for Alhambra and surroundingsMy visit to the Alhambra was absolutely fantastic. The tour agent managed everything with great care, even calling us 20 minutes before the tour to help us find the meeting point. The equipment provided worked perfectly. What stood out the most was our guide, a historian professor, who was incredibly detailed. He focused on the most important aspects within the available time and answered every question we had. Considering the number of sites to explore, the time constraints, and the security measures required to enter each building, the experience was well worth the cost. Excellent value for money! WARNING: Please bring your passport or ID card (they will remind you of this beforehand) as you could face issues with the strict security measures. This isn’t the tour agent’s fault, but it might delay the group visit or even result in you being left behind. My daughter forgot her ID, but the staff managed to make an exception, which we greatly appreciated, though it could have gone wrong.Written 17 August 2024
- Dianna M0 contributionsGreat day out at GeoparkHad a great day out at the Geopark with our lovely guide Carlos. There were only 5 of us on the trip 2 Welsh and 3 Spanish and Carlos patiently translated everything for us. We were able to visit sites that would be missed had we not been with a guide and learned at lot on the day. We had spectacular views over the valleys and enjoyed Guadix with its quirky houses in the caves. Great day outWritten 11 August 2024

Baños is a small town in the province of Jaén. If you have time, it is worth spending a day to see how much tea it offers. As soon as you arrive, visit Burgalimar Castle, from the outside it is impressive, inside you will have to use your imagination to bring its ruins to life, but with everything It's magnificent. What fascinated us the most was the hermitage of Jesús del Llano. Be sure to see the Crypt and the apse of the church of Santa María.....it cannot be explained in words, you have to be there, you will be amazed
