Thieves.

1.00A bunch of thieves, in every sense of the word. A service that costs 12 euros is sold for 50, claiming that they provide a service. Do not go with them. They are going to scam you.
They are a bunch of scoundrels.

1.00They are a bunch of scoundrels; if you buy it directly from the Alhambra, it costs 12 euros, but if you buy it from them, it costs 49 euros. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.
Operator unfriendly and inconsiderate

2.00We had an amazing guide, knowledgeable fun and very considerate towards the groups interests and requirements. We had a lovely small group so that too made it really nice, however for a small group we paid a premium. However the operator ( the company providing the tour) was unfriendly and customer service was very poor. We had booked 2 tickets one of our friends was unable to make it due to an emergency and we wanted to simply change the name for another person. we called the operator 24 hrs before the start of the tour but they told us that apparently they need to send the names to the government hence at such short notice changes can't be made. However 6 hrs before the tour we bought another ticket and this time apparently the government was not an issue. They were clearly lying and I checked with others changing the name is pretty simple and very much possible.SO by all means go ahead with this tour but not with this operator. We also called up Viator to help but though they were friendly the could not convince the operator. This operator is definitely not to be used and since there are many tour operators offering the same activity pl choose wisely. It's only under such circumstances one realize what service can be expected.

Fantastic tour

5.00Great tour. It was a very hot day but our guide did a great job keeping us in the shade where he could, while sharing his knowledge of the Alhambra. The palace and whole fort is stunning. We learnt a lot about Spain’s history, both of the royals and religion. Really pleased we took a tour instead of doing it ourselves.
Insightful tour

5.00Whilst you can visit again after the tour you are not allowed back into the Nasrin palace. Carlos our guide was very knowledgeable and painted a really good picture of history. Weaved really well.

The only way to see the Alhambra

5.00Today we toured the Alhambra with Andrea. She was so pleasant and SO knowledgeable about the grounds and the history. Our friends did an independent visit and said "it was pretty, but I don't know what I saw." Ifelt bad that they spent 3 hours without learning anything. We cannot recommend this tour enough!
It’s a very rushed tour...

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.
