Best thing to do in Granada

5.00We had a great tour of the Alhambra, Generalife gardens and Nasrid palaces originally built by the Nasrid dynasty with some additional by the Spanish Christian monarchs. We had a great guide who shared insights on how Granada was ruled over the centuries. Beautiful architectures from the Nasrid influence. Well worth the visit.
A lovely experience.

5.00While an amazing experience, it is a lot of walking, uphill and going upstairs. I enjoyed the exercise but a couple people were pretty tired by the end of it. I can’t emphasize this enough - wear proper walking shoes. Lots of cobblestones and dirt paths. Our guide, Celia, was quite personable and knowledgeable. She knew a lot of history & anecdotal stories. Overall, I recommend the experience.
Interesting and engaging tour

5.00Tour started promptly and guides were at the meeting point well before the start time. The tour was excellent l. Georgia had excellent knowledge of the Alhambra and history. Ear pieces were great so you didn’t miss anything if you were further behind. Would definitely recommend.
Bucket list Alhambra!

5.00Book this tour! The Alhambra is a bucket list destination and it's best to go with an informed guide to get the most out of it. Our premium English tour group was a bit larger than promised, but the guide was excellent. She used a headset and we each had individual earpieces, so it was easy to hear her commentary despite the crowds. The tour starts early, so you get ahead of most of the other tourists and can even beat the heat. The Alhambra over delivers!
Could have been better

4.00The tour was great . Customer service was horrible. The tour time was changed and we weren’t notified even after I called Maria at customer service as the directions tab on the Viator invite directed us via a back entrance to Al ham bra in order to get to the main gate. Nonetheless, it was a very frustrating experience until the tour actually started. Itana was awesome guide.
Great tour

4.00The tour guide explained everything very well. Unfortunately we had the leave the tour early as the delayed start time meant that we would’ve missed our train.

5.00Skip the line access to all sites and excellent guided tour. Our guide was a historian and expert, he stopped for photos and breaks. Even with it being three hours, it was great!
A great tour & tour guide!

5.00This was a very good tour of Alhambra & Generalif. It was a small group of only 7 and our tour guide, Aitana, was excellent. She explained everything in good detail and was easy to understand. I highly recommend this tour.
