5.00Well-paced tour of all the major components of the Alhambra. Our guide, Christina, was exceptional. Local, really knowledgeable and engaging. Skipping the queues to enter each of the palaces and gardens was really beneficial on a baking hot day. The extra snippets of the history beyond what’s written in the guidebooks was also great. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended.
Great tour from a super guide

5.00Alhambra is a huge site and has some very specific “rules” about entrance. The City Wonders directions/instructions were perfect. Our guide Anna was easy to understand (English), very kind and welcoming throughout our tour. She has so much knowledge of Alhambra which was exactly what we wanted from our guide. I’d highly recommend a tour with Anna to anyone!! So glad we did a guided tour rather than walking through on our own. There is so much history at Alhambra - a guided tour brings to life everything that this site once was. Thank you Anna for making this a great experience for us.
It’s very hot in the...

5.00It’s very hot in the summer. Lots of walking and takes about 2 plus hours. Take a taxi or tourist train to La Hambre
Bring a fan and wear comfortable shoes.
