The Alhambra is fantastic and, luckily, there weren't that many people. Our guide was well-informed and had a great personality. Since this was a birthday to myself, I opted for the baths. Certainly worth it. I was a little nervous about how I would know it was my turn for the massage because I was lounging in the sauna and the hot water area - I thought I had missed it. After a half hour of lounging, I asked the guy and he said another 30 minutes. Aaahhhhhh!!!! - more lounging - fantastic. I really enjoyed my day.
Great experience !
The Alhambra is gorgeous and the gardens really set it apart from other historic buildings. I appreciated the information the guide gave to help me appreciate my surroundings. Also, the strict rules about when to see what would have been impossible to decipher without a guide. I'm glad I decided to upgrade to the Arab bath with a massage. It was very relaxing and different from other touristy things. It wasn't crowded and it's unlike any activity in America that I can think of. The baths are separate from the Alhambra and slightly hard to find. It's in an alley further down from the tourist office in Plaza Nueva. The massage lasted about 20 mins. There are lockers when you can change into your swimsuit and store you stuff. No cameras allowed. Also, if you want to freshen up afterwards bring a brush. There are plenty of mirrors, lotions and hair dryers in the locker rooms.
Granada and the Alhambra are realy beautyful.
The hamam is also a great experience.
But i think it is maybe cheaper to book you one tour with a headset and a map and buscard for a few days.
But it was perfect.
well organized
My wife and I had just finished a bicycle tour from Seville to Granada. On the tour we visited many Moorish ruins, including baths.We had an excellent guide on our trip to explain the baths and their workings but it never came together until we experienced the bath. With the limited number of persons admitted, we were truly lost in time. The incense,candles,and music,along with the hot room, cold room, steam room,tea room, and pools gave a sense of what it was like a thousand years ago. The experience was unparalleled.

a wonderful way to end the day
Great tour guide at the Alhambra! Baths are a must!
Wonderful Alhambra tour. Really enjoyed Robert our guide. Groups could have been a little bit smaller. The Arab baths and massage were a treat at the end of a long day.
Loved it - place was beautiful. It was well organized and the guide was good.
The guide was fabulous.
The tour of the Alhambra gave intense meaning to the wonders of the site. Our guide was most knowledgeable and patient. The Arab baths were a wonderful, unique, relaxing experience - though very difficult to find.
This was a great tour. Several other people were on the tour who had booked through a different tour company, and their reservations got messed up. My reservation, however, was perfect with no confusions or mistakes. This is my second time using Viator in Europe, and I have really enjoyed it. The Alhambra was amazing and the Arab bath definitely worth doing.
The trip was great. The Alhambra was excellent, and the guide knew exactly what she was talking about. Will definitely go again.
The Alhambra was breathtaking. he start of the tour felt shambolic, but the guide we had was awesome and the experience was definitely enhanced by his knowledge and presence. We had to work to get the address of the baths from the tour company when the Alhambra tour was complete as they took the voucher right at the beginning, it wasn't needed for the bath. There really needs to be a system where you are given a brochure from the baths so you have a name and address, instead of someone pointing at a map. That being said, the 11th Century Arab baths were an amazing experience and one we will never forget.
