Estella was a fantastic tour guide. She could answer all our questions about the history of Spain and the architecture of the town.
I’m not sure why there is tapas deceived in the tour description - maybe your itinerary needs updating? We took an English tour on 11th April

We did the Ingles (English) tour with Estella. She was amazing and knew every little detail. We got lucky and it was just me and my husband so we were able to ask questions and she knew all the answers. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a bit stressful as we were driving in from Malaga with a 10:00 am time and we had to find parking and then get there to the meeting point. We had less than 10 minutes to spare. I'm so glad we got to pay our respects to Isabella and Ferdinand. Beautiful cathedral. There are shops all around and in the corner of the square where you meet is the best chocolate and churros at Cafeteria Alhambra (to go or you can sit). Anyway... Tour was awesome and Cathedral is a must if in Granada, especially for Americans. Thank you Isabella and Ferdinand for funding Columbus ~

Ho fatto questa visita con una guida molto preparata e simpaticissima. La ragazza mi ha spiegato sia la cappella Reale che molto sulla storia correlata in modo impeccabile ed esaustivo. Nel negozio mi ha consigliato un libro che ho comprato. È stato un’esperienza molto positiva che consiglio. Mi ha sorpreso molto che non c’è un minimo di partecipanti e così ho potuto usufruire di un tour privato. ¡Muchas gracias!

La capilla es interesante, pues estan enterrados los Reyes Católicos, además hay una exposición de cuadros muy bonita.
La catedral solo la vimos por fuera pero es inmensa y esta en una plaza no muy grande pero con buen ambiente.Hay músicos cantando .
También puedes ir de tapas alrededor en los bares y restaurantes.
Fuimos por libre.

We only had time for the Royal Chapel portion of this tour, but it was excellent. Our guide Cynthia provided so much information and was able to answer all of our questions in great detail. We learned a lot about the chapel, the royal family and the city of Granada
