5.00There are a lot of different things to see — buildings and gardens. Spectacular! Just wear comfortable shoes because it is a lot of walking up and down hills.
Sandra was amazing! We had a wonderful tour thank you!

5.00This was excellent and recommended. When we entered, some people (the other line) could not get in because they did not buy a ticket in advance. The guide was knowledgeable. Know it involves a good deal of walking.
Fraud! You are cancelled the guided tour the afternoon before by another with audio guide and does not include the Nasrid palaces

Let down from guided tour to self guided

2.00The Alhambra palace was great place to visit, however our guided tour was swapped the day before to a self guided one. I wasn’t very happy & unable to cancel as booked it as not able to cancel. My tip would be don’t book with the conditions you’re not able to cancel, book direct with the Alhambra Palace.

1.00Unfortunately the tour was cancelled 20 minutes before the scheduled time. The tour guide had a car accident and they didn’t have an alternative guide. They offered a tour at the end of the day but we had a train to catch to Cordoba. Thankfully we were able to book with another company at the last minute. Hope the tour guide wasn’t injured in the accident.
Misleading, palace not included!

2.00Very important—this tour does NOT include the Nasrid Palace, which is the whole point in coming to see Alhambra. Also, make sure you go to the right meeting location! (Hint, it’s not at the entrance to the Alhambra.)
We pay entrance with guide....

2.00We pay for guided admission. The day before, we're told there's no guide. In the end we do the tour with audio guide that is very brief and this treatment seemed unserious. We won't recommend it.
HORRENDOUS. USELESS... Run in the other direction

1.00Although we booked 4 months in advance, Viator canceled our 3 hour guided tour (they hadn't sold enough) and replaced it with two other times we couldn't make or an audio tour which consisted of 13 1 minute sound bites. The office agent told us we were LUCKY??? to have any tour and my wife had to argue with them to get some sort of refund (got back $5 per person which was insulting) The audio tour was as close to useless as you can imagine... I don't care what Washington Irving would have felt while he walked through the gardens!!! Information about how, why or when would have been far more appropriate. You RUINED what should have be a spectacular day.
I excellent tour with Ana

5.00Ana was very knowledgeable about the Alhambra. It was nice to have a guide who is deep rooted in Granada and passionate about the history. It was very easy to find the office, obtain our tickets, and meet with our guide. I highly recommend using them for this tour.
