Doing what: Granada Day Trip including Alhambra and Generalife Gardens from Seville
This is the best way to see the Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens since only a certain amt of tickets per day are allowed. Prior to seeing the Alhambra, we had 2 hrs to explore the other sites of Granada on our own so we came prepared with our own maps, etc. Others on this tour were not so they expressed disappointment at not having a "guided" tour through ALL the sites. We had a great time viewing the sites on our own. There's alot to see and 2 hrs doesn't do it justice but it makes you want to return for a longer trip in the future. Excellent guide for the Alhambra; Juan was very, very knowledgeable and enjoyed what he was doing. He took the time to answer our questions and gave the group tidbits on the history and personages of the Alhambra and of Spain in general, as it related to the Alhambra. I would highly recommend this trip. Juan allowed for enough time for pictures and would even offer where best to take a certain picture to maximize the background, etc. Can't say enough about how GREAT this tour was.

My husband, son, and I toured the Alhambra and Generalife Gardens in Granada, Spain during Holy Week. The pickup was at a hotel that was a 3 minute walk from our hotel, very convenient. The tour was extremely organized and the breakup into language groups was quick. Our guide, turistic guide, was a wealth of information and often added the extra interesting tidbit to enhance each segment of the tour. I would highly recommend travelers to choose Viatour when visiting the Alhambra.

The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens Half-day trip completely met our expectations. We were picked up at our hotel without any problems, on time. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a well-spent half-day that we would not hesitate to recommend to others.

The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens tour was outstanding. The Alhambra and Gardens by themselves are impressive. They were made even more so through the knowledge and care of our tour guide. Would definitely do it again.

My wife and I were in Granada at the end of January. We had a great experience at Alhambra and Generalife. Our guide was very knowledgeable. For someone who likes history, I would definitely would recommend taking this trip. The price is right too.

I really enjoyed the Alhambra and Generalife tour. The guide was very good. I just wish I had more time in Granada so that I could have stayed to wander around the grounds, museums and workshops after the guided tour ended. If I am lucky enough to visit Granada again, I won't hesitate to revisit the Alhambra.

My wife and I enjoyed our full day to Granada. The pick up was prefect. The drive with the stop midway for a snack was nice. The Alhambra tour and entrance was great. If it wasn't for this tour, we wouldn't have had the chance to have seen it. I wish we had another 30 minutes for free time at the Alhambra. We had time to see the fort on our own. But I would have liked to have some shopping time. So after walking the Generalife Gardens some free time would have been nice. But we were rushed out without knowing we would leave and wouldn't be able to come back.
And it was great to have some free time in the city. Got to visit the view at St. Nicolas, shop at the Alcaiceria, and see the cathedral. But I did my research before the trip, so I knew what to do. Took a taxi to the farthest site and walked back. I felt that some people didn't know what to do except go to the Corte Ingles. Thank you. I was lucky to have had the chance to join the tour with Viator. My wife and I had a wonderful time.

I was an interesting trip. Alhambra and Generalife are indeed very big, so to have a guide is the best option. Only plan your trip to be finished after 2pm not earlier.

The bus trip was long - and nothing happened - could have been used to tell a little about Andalucia as we passed through the region. Alhambra and Generalife Gardens was outstanding. The guide was really good.

The actual tour guide was quite good. He spoke excellent English and had tremendous knowledge, both historical and otherwise, of the Alhambra and Generalife. The only reason I did not give this tour 5 stars is that the individuals from the tour group who met with us spoke limited English and were quite abrupt before turning us over to the tour guide, Antonio.

Doing what: Granada - The Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens
The Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens tour was very interesting. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and welcomed questions. The architecture is amassing as is the history. We had a very nice lunch stop at this location and the tour had a reasonable pace. Good tour for those interested in history, architecture and seeing new, interesting places.
