4.00The tour was well organized, covered the key areas of the Alcazaba and Generalife. Our guide Sandra, was great guiding us through the huge complex and providing interesting info. Note that there’s 30-40min walk from meeting point to actual entrance, going through the gardens

1.00Booked through your app Received a confirmation and less than 24 h, we receive a message from guide cancelling our tour . However he didnt want to refund us ; only give us didfetent options not suitable to our schedule Fortunately we were able to contact customer service of Viator and received a refund ; however our 1st time $25 voucher from your app was not honoured In order to do so we need to contact cs once again to apply $25 voucher Far too complicated and unpleasant during vacation Get your guide is an easier and more accomodating app according to our experience,
Steep hike upwards.

3.00The tour should enclose that there is a steep mileish climb up from the gathering point. To get started with the Alhambra tour hiking that steep hill is kind of exhausting. The grounds are very beautiful. Instead of having everyone attending the tour hike the climb for 1.6 euros with the mini bus from the gathering point the people could have started from the top of the palace and worked their way down.
Nightmare trip

1.00This company let us down from start to finish. The booking was changed by Viator and we had to get a taxi from the venue to go and pick up the tickets. Instead of a guide we got an audio guide which proved to be almost useless. We had a terrible frustrating day after driving 2.5 hours to get there.
Alhambra & Generalife

5.00The Alhambra is an amazing attraction with a lot of up hill climbing, just the way I like it. The views of Granada are spectacular. Generalife is great, the gardens and views of the city are breathtaking.
