Great tour. It was a very hot day but our guide did a great job keeping us in the shade where he could, while sharing his knowledge of the Alhambra. The palace and whole fort is stunning. We learnt a lot about Spain’s history, both of the royals and religion. Really pleased we took a tour instead of doing it ourselves.
Whilst you can visit again after the tour you are not allowed back into the Nasrin palace. Carlos our guide was very knowledgeable and painted a really good picture of history. Weaved really well.
Our guide, Carlos, was very knowledgeable,helpful and light hearted. He made the experince enjoyable and so interrsting.
Today we toured the Alhambra with Andrea. She was so pleasant and SO knowledgeable about the grounds and the history. Our friends did an independent visit and said "it was pretty, but I don't know what I saw." Ifelt bad that they spent 3 hours without learning anything. We cannot recommend this tour enough!
It’s a very rushed tour we didn’t get enough time to spend time looking at the wonderful place. There was a lot lost in translation.
Excellent small group tour of Alhambra and Generalife precinct, led by Andrea who was passionate, knowledgeable and engaging. The tour goes for 3.5 hours, so take a snack and water. The tour was great, but the directions as to where to meet the tour leader were very vague, and it was quite stressful not knowing where to meet. It was actually in front of the main ticket office, but Viatour did not communicate this, and the map location they sent showed the wrong location. It was just luck that I overheard the tour group organiser say our names!
The Alhambra is an amazing experience. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and constantly checked in on how everyone was doing as it is a 3-hour tour. This is a must do experience in Granada
Very good guide, helped us get through all the controls as this a UNESCO heritage site, security is very tight.the site is quite big so you need to be reasonably fit. Beautiful place, the guide Mar was very knowledgeable and lively.
Our trip was changed at the last minute to a time that we couldn’t possibly do. The tour operator said they would refund us when they heard from TripAdvisor but there is no contact point for TripAdvisor, only the tour operator so we’re going round in circles trying to get a refund
We had a great tour of the Alhambra, Generalife gardens and Nasrid palaces originally built by the Nasrid dynasty with some additional by the Spanish Christian monarchs. We had a great guide who shared insights on how Granada was ruled over the centuries. Beautiful architectures from the Nasrid influence. Well worth the visit.
