Very accommodating, attractive and friendly staff at the entrance. What a truly significant building. A Renaissance/Baroque exquisite architectural building that was absolutely breathtaking, taking almost 190 years to build. The actual pillars are several metres wide. You cannot believe the work that has went into this, more than equaling the work in Rome( everyone was wanting to be more superior to the other, I assume) You will not be disappointed. From the outside it looks pretty insignificant, but go inside and see the splendour of the immense detail and symmetry, it is truly magical!
Our tour guide Marta was incredibly knowledgeable and deeply passionate about everything she shared. Excellent experience
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of the Cathedral and Granada facts. Very insightful and educational! Highly recommend a guide as there is so much to learn that is not otherwise explained . If you are in a hurry - 7€ gets you into the Cathedral- did not seem to be a problem with availability nor at the Royal Chapel
Alberto was an excellent guide. His English was perfect, and his knowledge was very deep. He brought all the things that he showed us to life with the amazing history in the stories in the background he provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a wonderful tour
Informative tour. Guide, Alberto, was great (I would give him 5 stars) but trip was significantly overpriced. Online instructions did not describe well where to meet guide. We were a little disappointed for the price.
Dear Mary, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a comment. We truly appreciate your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you found the price to be high. It’s important to keep in mind that the final cost includes several components: entrance fees to the monuments, applicable taxes, the guide’s fee—which is often considerable due to their qualifications and dedication—and also the high commissions charged by booking platforms. For this reason, we always recommend booking directly with the local company whenever possible. When all of these expenses are taken into account, we believe the price is fair and in line with market rates, with a very modest margin considering the amount of work and number of people involved in delivering a high-quality experience. That being said, we are very glad to know that you enjoyed the part of the tour led by the guide and that you considered giving 5 stars. Given that the guided visit is the core element of the experience, we hope you might reconsider your overall rating, as it seems you were satisfied with the most important aspect of the tour. Warm regards, Eric Zint
We had a walking tour with Pedro and it was fantastic. He was truly passionate about his work and the history of Grenada plus the Alhambra. One of the better tours I’ve had throughout Europe. I recommend requesting him when booking your tour.
