Delve into Spanish History. 🇪🇸 - The castle is well worth a visit . Entry fee is minimal and helps support with continuing repairs . Great view from the top over Malaga . The castle is well maintained and is fantastic for photography.

Perfect mix of group tour and solo time - Amazing expérience.
Thé Al Hambra is breath-taking and Christina was a perfect spanish/french guide.
First part was also great because you could explore Granada on your own and not as a group.

Four very popular excursions - Good morning,
During our stay in Torremolinos, we took the opportunity to make several excursions: Gibraltar, Ronda, Mijas/Marbella and Granada.
I must first congratulate Elena from the Julia agency on Calle del Peligro who took the time to explain to me what the different tours included and who gave me a lot of advice and relevant information. I have rarely seen such efficient customer service. Well done Elena and I will refer people to you when they go to Torremolinos.
As for excursions, it is true that the journey is long when you have to pick up several people from different places, but we preferred to relax on the bus and enjoy the landscapes than to drive.
The guides are all very knowledgeable and eager to help and inform us. The French of some guides was less good, but fortunately we understood English and a little Spanish, so we didn't miss any details.
The only point for improvement: during the visit to Granada, we had far too much free time to visit the old town before the visit to the Alhambra. We would have preferred that our guide took us to see the places of interest and gave us facts about the history of certain buildings and other places, (thus a guided tour) rather than letting us wander for three hours in the streets of the city. It was a long walk... On the other hand, the guide at the Alhambra was competent and captivating. In addition, if the stop at the restaurant in the morning was appreciated, the one on the way back at the end of the afternoon was not necessary. This lengthened the return trip unnecessarily.
Thank you, we loved discovering the Costa del Sol with your company.

April in the Alhambra - The Alhambra was lovely and definitely worth the visit. The gardens, the views, the fountains; it's worth the visit.
The bus trip was memorable as well.....it seemed like a full bus and people were not acting like adults. The guides did their best to deescalate the situation and my husband and I now have a great inside joke (you had to be there) but Julia needs to not book their tours so full or buy more comfortable buses.
It was a good trip but not a great trip.

Beautiful place but rushed around - Alhambra wonderful guide knowledgeable at Alhambra but rushed us to the shop and then disappeared from 15 minutes withoutv waiting for people who were struggling to keep up
There was no need for so long at souvenir shop but it was inexcusable that she didn’t m ake sure everyone was accounted for

Bad organisation , not adapting to the circumstances - Thr trip was not well organised. The time at Alhambra was 2:30.
We started from the hotel at 7:20and had to spend 3 hours in Granada on a bank holiday with all the shops closed. Fantastically boring !

Avoid at all costs - Booked and paid for this tour 2 months ago. Had confirmation email. Emailed to confirm pick up address to be advised sorry not booked as they can’t get the entry tickets to the palace confirmed. All other tour operator options are now booked meaning we can not visit the Alhambra palace on our trip to Spain. Will not be back since coming from NZ which is a 30 hour flight. So thanks to Julia travel will miss what was anticipated to be a highlight of our trip. If I had not contacted them would they ever have advised the tour was not actually booked? Will I ever have my money returned from them… Can not warn you off ever booking with this company more. BUYER BEWARE you will not know if your apparently confirmed tour is actually booked for you until you get on it it seems

Hidden fees - Alhambra was very nice and is well worth a visit, but the operator requested additional fees not included in the price.
