The crew were caring for everyone's welfare and could constantly be seen offering blankets if anyone was cold or feeling a bit sea sick. The experience itself was memory making. Having taken our three children with us, the experience just made fantastic memories for us as a family and we thoroughly enjoyed the two hours.”

“Even though I have visted Granada and Alhambra 10 years ago, this was revealing and fascinating experience. My sister, first time visiting, shares same feelings about Alhambra. This is to a great extent due to Jesus, our Alhambra guide, who was absolutely fascinating and inspred as this was his first visit himself. He shared information and took good care of us in many ways, for which we are most grateful (particularly so because Alhambra was crowded with visitors). We are also very grateful to Kevin, our guide to/from Granada who contributed to good atmosphere within the group. All members of which were punctual. Many thanks! To Carmen, our driver, too.”

The guided walking tour option was the best part of Ronda as we learnt and discovered so much more about the town and its bull fighting history. Highly recommend this tour!”
