They literally robbed us
Xiao Q,,Dec 28, 2025
- Review from Viator
1.00We arrived late at the meeting point (which was our fault—the traffic from Sevilla to Granada was full of unexpected delays). We asked if we could simply collect the tickets and tour the site on our own, and they agreed. However, we were still charged €10 per person for the audio guide, which is almost the price of a full ticket. I also made the mistake of not researching thoroughly beforehand and didn’t realize that this tour DOES NOT include the most important part—the Nasrid Palaces—despite costing nearly four times the standard ticket price. This tour offers very poor value and is not worth the money. I strongly recommend NOT purchasing it.

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.

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.

Let down from guided tour to self guided
Jason M,,Dec 3, 2025
- Review from Viator
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.
