3.00It’s a very rushed tour we didn’t get enough time to spend time looking at the wonderful place. There was a lot lost in translation.
Great tour leader. Not good directions from Viator

4.00Excellent small group tour of Alhambra and Generalife precinct, led by Andrea who was passionate, knowledgeable and engaging. The tour goes for 3.5 hours, so take a snack and water. The tour was great, but the directions as to where to meet the tour leader were very vague, and it was quite stressful not knowing where to meet. It was actually in front of the main ticket office, but Viatour did not communicate this, and the map location they sent showed the wrong location. It was just luck that I overheard the tour group organiser say our names!

5.00The Alhambra is an amazing experience. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and constantly checked in on how everyone was doing as it is a 3-hour tour. This is a must do experience in Granada

1.00Our trip was changed at the last minute to a time that we couldn’t possibly do. The tour operator said they would refund us when they heard from TripAdvisor but there is no contact point for TripAdvisor, only the tour operator so we’re going round in circles trying to get a refund
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!
