5.00Sandra was a very engaging tour guide! Being able to learn some of the history of Granada as we approached the first gate was a big bonus of the tour. We learned so much more generally through going on a tour.
Alhambra was great. But for the money you can skip Nazaries

4.00Alhambra was nice and had a great tour guide. However, after I booked I kept getting pushy sales calls to also book Palacios Nazaries. A decision that do to time constraints I regreted.

5.00We were unable to get tickets last time we came so made sure to prebook this time. Well organised. Guide tried to phone us bedsorehand and as I failed to pick up, left a text. Met as per clear instructions. Informative guide speaking excellent English. Beautiful site needless to say. Delighted with our experience.
Fantastic day at the Alhambra

5.00This was a well paced tour with the very knowledgeable guide (Sandra). Sandra kept it interesting and has a great sense of humor.
Cancelled my tour last minute

1.00Less than 24 hours before the tour started, the tour operator contacted me to say there hadn't been enough sign ups and so they were cancelling my tour. I was offered a choice of a full refund or to (for the same price) take my ticket and explore on my own (with the "help" of their app---in quotes because the password they gave me didn't work in the end) As I'd already committed to the visit from an itinerary perspective, and I knew a lot of tickets were sold out, I felt I had no choice and accepted the offer to take my ticket with me and go on my own. So I ended up paying 4x what the regular ticket would've been. Although it does warn upon sign up that in some "extremely unlikely" situations this can happen, and I understand if no one signs up then the tour isn't profitable, I think they could've reimbursed some of my fee, considering that the tour company provided me with nothing apart from a different location to get tickets from. Also to note: this tour does not include the Nasir Palace, which wasn't entirely clear. The gardens and the castle are amazing and well worth the visit though. (The castle is quite unique!)
A tour you won’t forget.

5.00The history and beauty of the Alhambra was mind blowing, all explained with clarity, insight and humour by our guide Sandra. I urge anyone to come to Granada (it’s a beautiful city with warm friendly people) and visit the Alhambra. You won’t regret it! Wes K.
