Amazing days in Granada and Seville

Rated 5.0 out of 5
16th May 2016

My husband and I and another couple spent a week in Marbella this past April. We enjoyed two all-day tours with Marbella-in-Style, one day to Granada and Alhambra, one day to Seville. Julio was an excellent guide. The two hour drive each way was very comfortable in their mini-van. The day spent in each city was well planned with an efficient use of time that allowed us to see and spend adequate time at all the main sights of each city. Julio spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable and capable in sharing the history, background, culture of the cities. All the sights were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our days in both cities. I highly recommend Julio and Marbella-in-Style

Visit To Granada

My husband and I had a private tour of Granada for the day. Julio, our guide was very friendly, spoke excellent English, informative and showed us all the sights we wanted to see. Our driver was very good and we had a very comfortable journey there and back. The guide at the Al-Hambra was excellent and we had a great day out. We were shown the streets of Granada and witnessed students hanging out on the streets and in the snack bars. We found the tour fascinating from start to finish and we were delighted with the whole experience.

I would definitely recommend this tour company if you fancy a private tour seeing the sights of Spain.

We booked three different tours with Julio from Marbella in Style. Each was unique and wonderful. Julio told us about the history of each place we visited, brought us to interesting out of the way places to eat, lunch in Granada at Ruta del Veleta. Tour to Ronda was amazing. Visited the bullfighting stadium, walked along the gorge and then headed to wine country. First we visited Juaquin Fernandez Bodega. Excellent tour of the winery, delicious wine. Next up was lunch at Bodega Garcia Hildago where we toured the vineyard, ate grapes right off the vine, and had an amazing home-cooked meal made by Isabella alongside wines made by Miguel. Top notch all the way. By the time we parted, we felt like Julio was not just our host but a good friend.
