1.00The photos misled us to believe it included Nasrid Palaces , misled tourists who are unfamiliar with there to believe they’ll have a full experience , but in fact miss the most important part of the journey especially for those who travelled across the world to come .
No palace

1.00Bad experience as no palace included and we didn’t know at first as the photos misleading us .Also we need to climb a lot of steps to go to the entrance . They should have changed the meeting point to the entrance to save us these steps.
Sandra, our guide, was terrific!

Waste of money

1.00We spend 3 times more for tickets to the palaces than the price online directly from Alhambra website, and still had to stand in line. No guide - we were given codes for audio on our phones which was terrible and did not work because of the WiFi being weak inside. It was a scam
Amazing place and very good guide

5.00The Alhambra is an amazing place. We had a 3 hours tour with a very good guide, Miriam. The palaces unfortunately were not included as they have to be booked a lot in advance. However the tour of the Alhambra and Generalife is still worth the trip and the price paid.
There is a very steep...
