Very disappointing experience

1.00We were very disappointed with this small group tour. Being a small group tour it was very expensive and I expected a much better experience. We were a small group of about 10 people which I liked. However the negatives: 1) Rushed - the tour was extremely rushed. We could never stopped to take in the rooms/decor/view/gardens etc. Hardly had time for any pictures. We were just herded through like cattle. 2) We chose this tour as an English tour but the guide spoke in both English and Spanish. Every sentence was said in Spanish and then English so fast. Being that all he said was spliced between the two languages for each sentence, we had no continuity of a single explanation. It would have been better if the entire description for something was said in one language and then the other if it was a bilingual tour. The guide spoke English well and had the knowledge, so that was not the issue but how the two languages were intertwined. I learnt more from reading my tour book afterwards than what I leaned there. We were very disappointed and did not appreciate the Alhambra like it was meant to. Would have been better if we did it ourselves and read the book along the way.

5.00Small group tour is the way to go for Alhambra. Our guide Jenny was engaging and captivating. She moved us along at a reasonable speed while speaking both English & Spanish. The only negative was that the local tour company moved our start time back by one hour. Luckily we had enough buffer with our train schedule.
