I loved the Alhambra tour. Our guide, Antonio, explained the history and beauty of the place with a sincere passion. He was also very patient with those who had disabilities as well as those who had ticket issues.
First time to visit. A bit chaotic at the meeting point, but fine when we got going. Antonio, our Guide was very good and entertaining. Could have done with a Coffee break after 2 Hour not two.
So you. Pay to visit several sites You go see Alhambra and Generallife But unable to see the the rest of the sites because someone used your tickets. So basically we were I. 2 different places at the same time. Fraud
Visit recommended in the morning during the summer season, and an interesting museum to visit as well (check the days and hours of operation).
We loved this tour. It is a lot of walking but it is like nowhere else in the world. Our guide (Antonio) was fantastic and helped a lot with my mom with limited mobility
Very interesting but it ran very long and we were very pressed for time. I had hoped to see the harems but we mainly saw the main rooms and gardens
Highly recommended. Our tour guide Itana was witty and informative. Really helpful to interpret and appreciate the Alhambra.
The visit was definitely more enjoyable having a great guide like Marco. He was knowledgeable, of course, but also very engaging and funny. He was friendly and no question was too insignificant. We came away with truly understanding the significance of the Alhambra in Spanish history and the people who built and lived in it. BRAVO Marco!
The gardens are beautiful and the views are stunning. I went with my elderly mom and my daughter. Our guide was very nice. She was walking so fast that my mom was having a hard time keeping up. There are a lot of hills, cobblestone, and stairs so it was a lot. We finally got a break, which wasn’t very long, and we decided to miss the second half of the tour. I know they need to move people through each area pretty quickly for other groups but it felt really rushed. The guide was so far ahead of some of us in the group all we heard was static in the ear pieces. We really wanted to see the inside of the palace but that was on the second half of the tour. My mom had already walked almost 2 miles for the first part of the tour. The tour is 3 hours.
Terrible experience. I selected the wrong date and as soon as I did, contacted the vendor to move back by one day. They flatly refused. Yes, I realize their website says no refunds; I wasn’t asking for that, simply to move our reservation by 24 hours. It would’ve been no skin off their nose to do this, no loss of money on their part. Instead , I had to pay another $200+ for tickets that should’ve cost me $27 each direct from the Alhambra (and why were those tickets sold out? Could it be that greedy third party operators scoop them Up, so they can then increase the price by 400%. And why in the world does the Alhambra allow this???). The third party operators scoop could’ve chosen to be kind, and helpful; instead they chose greed. Shame on them. There were no paper maps when we got there, no audio guides (other problems arose and we missed the walking tour time, so we had to just walk around on our own). The website maps didn’t work, and all the Alhambra staff did was shrug, say “it’s blocked,” and walk away. The palace is beautiful; the experience visiting there was not. Hugely disappointing.
