Granada tour Maryla gave us an awesome experience of Granada! First off, she was extremely sweet and friendly, with great energy. She was Interesting and informative, giving us a complete historical overview, and created a perfect balance of a tour that was interesting, entertaining, and also educational. We got to see many different aspects of Granada, covering; the history, the entertainment, plaza’s, and of course the most magnificent views from near the Alhambra palace and also across from it. The 3 hours with her flew by and we loved every minute of it! She was also super helpful with guiding us and reaching out to her contacts so we could get to see the Flamencos, as well as tour guide in Madrid. Thank you Maryla !

I travelled to andalouzia with the sole objective to rediscover the life of my ancesters centuries ago. I spent 3 hours with Maryla who is just an amazing guide from a historical and archeological perspective with a huge research on the jewish history backing her. This was an amazing tour for me and I am now planning to go back with daugther to show her. These moment with Maryla was the opportunity to rewind centuries of history explained in a very simple manner. Just loved it and thank you so much for making this an amazing rediscovery of my roots.

Maryla was an outstanding tour guide, historian and teacher. We loved this tour so much and it was an especially great way to start our experience in Granada. Maryla was able to show us places - some small, some big — which were right before our eyes, but that we had no idea their context. She was especially knowledgeable about how all the religions worked alongside each other in all the complexity then and how it still echos. . She blends a passion for culture, religion, history, art and architecture in a very relatable way for my husband and my two daughter 20 and 21. I cannot more highly recommend Maryla. In fact. I have already recommended her to people who loved her as much as we did. Highly, highly recommend. 10/10.

Guillermo is a lovely and personable guide. He was excellent at conveying the history and patiently answered all our questions. It is wonderful when the guide is clearly passionate not only about the history of the land, but also about Spanish culture, customs, and way of life. He went above and beyond for us by accommodating changes in our schedule and frequent stops at local stores, suggesting restaurants, and all-around maximizing our stay in Granada. He is a typical and cultured man of Spain, and by interacting with him you will get an authentic taste of Spain in the best way a tourist can. We highly highly recommend Guillermo to anybody who wants to have the best experience in Granada!
