Before then I have lived in different countries such as Paraguay and thee Netherlands and have had scholarships in New York and Paris to learn English and French language.

“OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!”
Mercedes provided my wife and I an informative, interesting and illuminating tour of the Alhambra palace and gardens complex. Her knowledge of the history was impressive, and she new little details about life in medieval times that were very interesting. Her English is outstanding, and her international experiences come through in her perspectives and the discussions that we had with her during the tour. She also provided information that we used on our visit to Burgos later in our trip. We highly recommend her -- she goes above and beyond what we expect from tour guides. Thanks again, Mercedes!
