5.00This is a wonderful excursion to a must-see place in Spain that every cruiser should find the time to visit. And with our ship docked in Malaga this was the perfect opportunity to sign up for this amazing trip. Everything was superbly organised and on time, many thanks to everyone who worked hard to make it happen. We are 100% satisfied and can wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to all cruisers looking for a memorable journey to one of the most interesting landmarks in the entire country.

5.00Very nice tour. Great Tour guide. However, people with mobility issues should not do this tour. Although this is stated before reserving the tour, we had 7-8 people who could not walk without very frequent stops. They eventually had to leave the tour as they felt they could not walk further. It did slow down the rest of the group.

5.00We had two very knowledgeable and friendly guides. One was on the way to Alhambra the one was the tour guide for the Alhambra palace. Despite the far distance Viator managed the time very well and we were able to get back to the ship 45 mins before boarding time. Highly recommended.

5.00When visiting Malaga you have so many beautiful towns to explore but if you have the time, highly recommend the visit to Granada/Alhambra. You won’t be disappointed.

5.00The entire experience was wonderful ! Met right where they said at the port and the bus left exactly on time. Nice history of the area on the way. The Alhambra was magnificent and the local guide was fantastic. We also had time to stop for an hour in town and have a meal. All around fantastic experience. Just so you know… 3 plus hours of walking there with no breaks. So much to see !
