Great tour and very organized when checking in. Tour lasted about 4 hours and our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the Alhambra.

The whole organization of the tour handling approximately 50 people with multiple languages were done very professionally. The whole experience was highly educational and fruitful. Our guide Antonio was so polite, passionate and detailed. He is one of the most articulate guide among my other tours. I highly recommend taking this tour rather than a self-exploratory tour in the Alhambra. Definitely worth every cent spent!

Alberto was a great guide. He was very informative. I felt we had the best tour of any of the other guides that I witnessed. After we left Alberto we were on our wn to find the Hammam. The check in was very disorganized. If you didn't speak Spanish you would not know what to do. Get to the Hamman early as people were lined up out the door when we arrived 20 minutes before our reservation time. Don't assume your Hamman visit is directly after the Alhambra tour. Ask what time they made your reservation. Our reservation was not until 6pm. After understanding what to do we had a great time.

I had visited the Alhambra before but the other 3 people in our group had not. I got SO much more out of this visit than the last because of the tour. Our tour guide was WONDERFUL. Thanks for such an interesting and educational experience.

The Alhambra was absolutely fascinating. The tour company was very organized and had a group of several dozen people, separated by language for the tour. Our English tour guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the Alhambra and provided us with information thorughout the 3-4 tour. His passionate dialouge, partnered with this well preserved historical site, served to provide a stimulating tour. The partner tour company provided timely pick up and drop off.

Best $ I spent on our trip. We had a great tour guide who tremendously enhanced our visit to the Alhambra and Generalife. No way we would have enjoyed the visit or learned as much on our own.

We really enjoyed our tour. Pick-up at a location close to our hotel was prompt and in a nice, new bus. Everything seemed very well organized when we arrived at the Alhambra grounds. Visitors were organized quickly into language-specific groups. Our English-speaking guide was well-informed and knowledgeable - a native of Granada. The tour worked doubly well for us on this particular day as it poured with rain the entire day. If not for the tour, I doubt we would have found our way around the vast Alhambra grounds. Also, we proceeded directly into the main buildings without having to queue outside in the rain, as many people were forced to do.

What a fantastic trip of the beautiful Alhambra with a wonderful guide, thank you Gus! Only negative was that we were told to meet 15 mins prior to the 10am start time but we stood around waiting until almost 11am!

A guided tour of the Alhambra is essential to getting the most out of the experience. This tour allowed us to avoid having to worry about tickets and transportation.

Our tour of the Alhambra was the highlight of our trip to Spain. Enrico made all of the difference. He was very knowledgable about its history and especially its tie to Islamic culture, with which I am quite familiar. I would highly recommend anyone wishing to take a tour of the Alhambra to consider a guided tour, there is just too much to see and absorb.

Our guide simply walked us through the rooms, commenting on the view and where we could take photos. She did not seem to know anything about the Alhambra or even take an interest in it. At one point, she was texting on her phone, and when my husband asked her a question she told him to 'hang on'.
