I agonized over whether to do a cheaper large group bus tour versus a small group private tour. I'm so glad that I chose to go private with Andalucia Experiencias! They did not disappoint. We were picked up promptly in a comfortable Mercedes van and our driver-guide was very personable as well as knowledgeable about the landscape and towns through which we passed on our drive from Seville to Granada. We were handed off to a special guide for our private tour of the Alhambra, who was so thorough that we felt that no stone was left unturned. The Alhambra is quite majestic, and we were so glad that we made the investment of time to see it. We had lunch at a restaurant near the entrance to the site, which I was certain was going to be a tourist trap but was actually one of the better meals we had in Spain. Our walk through the Albaicin neighborhood was interesting. The best part is that we survived the 41 degree Celsius heat!
