5.00The tour was exactly 3 hours long, and it was definitely worth it to have somebody bring you through and tell you the history of the Alhambra because there is so much history in that place! My tour guide, Felipe, was super knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour to people who are interested in being shown around. I did see several tourists lost as they were trying to navigate their way around the Alhambra and totally think this is worth the money to have somebody who knows the grounds with you. I would pay to do this again.
Enjoyable and Organized

5.00We enjoyed our tour of Alhambra with Alberto. The tour was comprehensive without wearing us out. The walking pace was perfect - we kept things moving but there was plenty of time to appreciate the sights, take photos, and get a snack. The portable audio system was great, you could hear everything but move around too.
Impressive place, knowledgeable guide, not the small group feel we had planned.

3.00Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. He explained things well. It is a beautiful, impressive place! However, in the description of the tour at the very top it says a maximum of 10 people. We were traveling with 10 people, so thought it would be perfect and chose English as the tour language. But when we arrived there were 8 additional people, none who spoke English. So our guide had to say everything twice, which took a lot of time and made it a bit harder to pay attention. Also, make sure you bring your passports to your tour! It was only a very small note at the bottom of the information and most of the people in our tour did not have it, and it delayed the start of our tour.
Great guided tour of the palaces with Carlos

Unforgettable tour

5.00My friends and I enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the Alhambra thanks to the best guide we have ever had, Hector. Despite the crowd (the Alhambra receives more than 6,000 visitors daily), Hector gave us an exclusive experience, as if only we were there, surrounded by the stunning beauty of this architectural gem. Capacity (in covers) to convey cultural and artistic details in a pleasant and didactic way kept us totally enthralled with his stories. In addition, his deep knowledge of the Arab world helped us appreciate unique nuances that often go unnoticed. I highly recommend booking the guided tour with this company, especially with Hector as your guide.
Excellent guide

5.00We had Antonio as our guide and he was terrific. He was informative and entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He seemed genuinely proud and interested in the history of the Alhambra and the region. Cannot recommend him highly enough as a guide. Our booking time was changed at the last minute from morning to afternoon, but the company responded immediately to all my messages and questions which I appreciated.
Amazing site, great guide

5.00We had a great tour of the Alhambra--it's a can't miss experience and among the most wonderful individual sites we've ever seen. Gustavo was our tour guide and was wonderful. His English is awesome, but even more, his ability to explain the etymology and history of all the terms involved added depth to the visit. He's thoughtful and fun, and shows an obvious love for this site that is infectious.
A very good experience
