The Alhambra was my favorite. The guide was so interesting. The 3 hours went by very quickly. It was magnificent.
Myself, my husband, and our two young children (7 and 9) had tour guide, Georgia, all to ourselves. She spoke clearly, was attentive, and included our children regularly; answered their questions, have information in age appropriate ways, offered us breaks when she noticed either of the kids were getting tired, and was overall kind. La Alhambra and Generalife are beautiful sites. The gardens are colorful and regularly separated by water fixtures. The palace tiles and intricate carvings are impressive and beautiful.
The guide was amazing, lovely guy
Our tour guide Carlos Serrano fascinated us throughout the entire tour with his enormous knowledge, and we almost couldn't get enough of it! It was a true pleasure to traverse this historical site with Carlos! Thanks again, Carlos, this was really top-notch!!
It was a complete disaster. We arrived just on time and The guide was not there at the meeting spot with a blue umbrella Nuher as noted. Looked everywhere, asked around other guides and ticket box. Normally the guide connects beforehand so we know their name and number to call. Usually they check in before leaving the meeting spot. I noted i was with an older person that walked slower, so the more the reason. I didn’t know were the left my tickets ( I had to go searching, finally at the bar) I never got a text a call - no word or next meeting point in tour. Missed all of it completely! I am very upset. Guide chose starting at bottom, so uphill ( instead of common sense downhill ) we moved fast to catch up, asked every guide we saw as well as, the entrance monitors in each area if they saw Nehur/ Viator group and no message was left with any of them! I demand my money back for the guided tour part for both of my tickets please. This lack of communication destroyed the experience, the running to catch up and never seeing or hearing from the group nor getting the historical value after traveling from so far away is un repairable. My older Mother really struggled for nothing and the guide never cared to contact us at all. We had no way to reach him/her, no name no number! Awful Please return my payment thank you.
Sentimos mucho su decepcion, pero en el voucher indica paraguas blanco, no azul y la compañia es Nhue, no Nuher. Lamento que no nos encontrara. Por otro lado, los tickets se dejan en el bar para las personas que llegan tarde, lo que me da a entender que llego tarde y además debió hablar con nosotros en algún momento, dado que sabia que tenia que buscar los tickets allí si llegaba tarde y eso no esta escrito en ningún lugar, se lo tenemos que decir nosotros. Estuvimos en el lugar indicado, a la hora indicada y el tour se hizo como siempre, en el idioma indicado, como puede atestiguar el resto del grupo que estaba allí 15 minutos antes del tour. Si usted necesitaba un tratamiento especial, debería haber contratado un tour privado y en ese caso, esto no habría ocurrido, pero en los tours regulares hay que adaptarse a todo el grupo y esto requiere cumplir con lo pactado en el voucher por ambas partes.
Andrea was excellent. So nice, friendly, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend this. My kids said this was the best tour
We couldn't find the meeting point. When speaking with the tour guide on the phone she was super rude. I asked her if we could meet her at some point along the tour, since it was a 3 hour tour (I'm certain the tour guide has a rough idea of what time they will be at which spot along the tour). She said no, yet sent me a pin of her location of where we should have met her. She could have sent me her live location, and I could have navigated. Very disappointing in the lack of flexibility. I by no means expected her to wait, however, we could have met her at some point over the 3 hours.
Buenas tardes. Usted habló con personal de oficina. El telefono de la guía es personal, ya que son trabajadores autónomos y no estamos autorizados a enviárselo. Además, durante el tour esta terminantemente prohibido coger el telefono, ya que están trabajando y es una falta de respeto para el resto de viajeros. Aun así, tenga en cuenta que la alhambra tiene unas 16 hectáreas, el recorrido se aproxima a 7 kilómetros y cada uno de nuestros 50 guías hace el tour de diferente manera, con lo que difícilmente podemos indicarle donde va a estar. Dicho esto, como indica en el servicio en viator y en su bono, llegar tarde es no show y pierde su tour. Sentimos mucho que este descontento y no pudiese disfrutar del tour, pero son las normas.
Wonderful Vanessa very informative Alhambra came alive and all Nasrid was a WONDER to behold . Definitely a MUST SEE TOUR !!
Our guide was excellent. The small group helped for everyone to stay together. The length of visit was right, it .can not be shorter than it was
A very friendly and very knowledgeable guide. Wonderful tour.
