We didn't hear most of the details because the guide had a faulty microphone. This was a walk through free access areas and we were purely paying for a guide who was not of much help. Overpaid hence. Will not recommend.

The guided tour in Spanish, around the Alhambra is very worthwhile when you do not get tickets inside, and especially with a guide like Angel. He knew a lot and was super friendly and entertaining.

Arrived 5 mins late to the tour and was given no assistance from the staff as to where the tour might be/ what direction they go in / any attempt to contact leader. Although I’m aware it is my own fault for being slightly late, the lack of any attempt to contact the leader or give us any information was very disappointing.
The staff said something different.

No one comes to the rendezvous point because each of the staff has different things to say, and when I asked the staff they told me to go downstairs, and when I went downstairs they told me to climb up again, and when I asked the staff they told me I had already left. I had arrived at the rendezvous early but couldn't join.
Super experience with a good guide

I was expecting a lot more. The ad talks about two long hours of visiting, but in reality the activity barely lasted an hour and a half. The guide was correct, but without great boasts. We could not see the hammam nor could we access the current Parador de Turismo. We didn’t even try to get close (we did it later on our own) to see the views of the Albaicín... Anyway, an expensive walk that can be easily done for free. I found it disappointing.
