5.00I lucked out and was able to get a ticket my last day in Granada and join this tour which turned out to only be 3 of us! I had tried another company the day before, but they did not come through. Maria Jesus was an incredible tour guide and I cannot recommend her more highly. I learned SO much about the history and culture - it was so interesting. I loved Maria's energy and really appreciated her checking in on me to make sure I joined the group.
WARNNG! DO NOT BOOK with this company! They may cancel your ticket reservation at the last minute!

1.00Please do NOT book this experience with this company!! I had booked this tour several months in advance using Viator and our family was excited about visiting the Alhambra. After midnight the night before our scheduled visit, I was contacted by email to be told that they had made a mistake and there were not enough tickets to accommodate our small group of 4, asking us if we could visit the next day instead which was not an option for us. It was lucky that I even saw the message, because while traveling and touring around Spain, checking email is not often a priority. We did travel up to the area and explored the areas that were free of charge which was nice. Also, a refund through Viator was issued within a few days for the total amount.

5.00It’s been almost a week since we visited and we’re still thinking about how beautiful the palaces and gardens were. We were so fortunate to have been able to get tickets to this tour and our 2 hour drive each way from Marbella just for this tour was absolutely worth it. Our guide Alfredo was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We’re so glad he was there to guide us and also share his perspective. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
