What To Expect
The Alhambra
This is a site you would not want to miss because of its grandeur and historical significance. This palace has been named the most visited monument in Spain, with over two million visitors in 2014. That's even more astounding when you consider the rest of the country's sites.
Nasrid Palaces
The Nasrid Palaces, undoubtedly the most well-known component of the Alhambra, were the formal palace of the Moorish monarchs of Granada. This section alone has a number of elements. Various sultans that occupied the Alhambra throughout the Moorish period of Granada began to add various royal houses to the palaces, completing them into the iconic complex that we know today.

1.00At 10 o’clock in the evening we received the message that the visit to Alhambra was cancelled. As a result, we have not been able to visit Alhambra.
Do not buy tickets on Viator for the Alhambra.

5.00Great activity. The Alhambra is so beautiful. I am just terribly annoyed that Viator is buying tickets in bulk and selling them on to almost double the officicial price! (No guided tour in the Viator price no audio guide! )So please visit the Alhambra but buy your tickets directly from the Alhambra or other agencies in Granada.
Absolutely worth seeing. Man...

5.00Absolutely worth seeing. You should take enough time for the Alhambra. Not only the Nesrid palaces, but also everything else is worthwhile. The ticket purchase and mailing was straightforward. We are very satisfied
No one should use this dishonest service

1.00Absolutely awful. Booked a tour of Alhambra in Grenada weeks in advance, had numerous emails from them leading up to it, only to then have them outright lie multiple times that tickets would be sent shortly, then they were having “issues”, then telling us they would be sent morning of, then that day they cancelled it outright. Incredibly unprofessional, dishonest and ultimately ruined the only reason we were in Grenada by failing to do the one thing paid for. No one should ever use this site. I say this as a global traveler. Of 30+ years
Being canceled before 6 hours of my trip

1.00I booked the ticket about a week before and on the day my trip which I was very excited about and I came all the way to Granada for, the tour said this tour is cancelled and refunded back to me. They did that on the same day of my trip, not before. They should have at least let me know days before that there are no ticket left and the tour was canceled on me. I just don’t understand why they still open to sale and they canceled like that. Very bad experience!

5.00The experience was really excellent: the system is gorgeous and everything is organized at the top. Tickets arrive on time and are described with great precision, so you know exactly what they contain. Telephone support is also impeccable: it responds immediately and with availability.
