We had a wonderful time on our Alhambra tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the weather was fantastic allowing for great views. It is a bit of a long day when coming from Seville but well worth it. I would highly recommend this tour.

The bus was on time, modern, clean, and comfortable. The guide on the bus was friendly and entertaining though a little loud for sleeping passengers on the way home. The guide at the Alhambra was extremely knowledgeable which was invaluable since most of what there is to see is the grounds rather than decorative arts preserved in the buildings.

Our tour guide was very good and the trip was wonderful. I would use Viator again. The bus picked us up at the hotel as confirmed.

Our family had a fascinating and memorable excursion to the Alhambra Palace. Our tour guide was particularly excellent. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and articulate and was part of making the trip special. The experience stunning Alhambra was worth the long bus ride.

We did not have a lot of time to spend in Spain and wanted to see everything that we could. We were staying in Seville and a day trip down to Granada to visit the Alhambra was well worth it. The guide and bus ride from Seville to Granada was pleasant. We were picked up at the hotel and dropped off at the hotel as well.
Our guide at the Alhambra wasn't that great, but just walking around the grounds was amazing enough. I say, if you don't have a lot of time and want to visit the Alhambra, pick this tour.
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.
We enjoyed the day very much. Very well organised, great tour guide, good pace.

The organisation, the quality of the tour, the value for money was absolutely great. We arrived on time, we saw as much as possible, and the balance of the free time was good, as well.

Good guide and so beautiful! Bus had poor A/C for the hot summers. Even so, would recommend this trip.

Since we stayed in an apartment pick-up was at 610 outside a post office nearby. Bus was on time. '3 hour tour' with local guide at Alhambra stretched to 4 hours, leaving only 1 hour in Granada to get lunch no time to shop or explore. I would suggest bringing a lunch to eat on the bus, leaving more time in Granada center.

Great guide. Tour felt rushed, but I guess that is to be expected when factoring in the travel time to and from Seville.

Guide on bus to Granada was a little difficult to understand despite speaking English. Guide at Alhambra was excellent. Directions to restaurant for lunch were very good; the restaurant was excellent. Good timing, prompt departures, etc.

The guide on the way to Granada did not say a word for 3 hours each way. However, the English-speaking guide at the Alhambra was the best guide we had in the whole trip to Spain. He guided us through Alhambra for the whole 3.5 hours. During that time, he shared an overwhelming wealth of information and history. Overall, the trip was worth it. Alhambra visit is an absolute must if you are touring anywhere in Andalusia. Only 1.5 hours was given to explore Granada; this time includes lunch. Definitely not enough time! Once you are dropped off in Granada, you are absolutely on your own. Guide did not even give accurate directions to the center of town. I am not sure if taking a train to Granada and then taking the same tour from there to Alhambra would be time saving and more cost-effective - something to consider.

It was definitely worth the 2 hour drive to see the Alhambra. The motor coach was very comfortable; guide on the coach was entertaining. The tour through the Alhambra was a bit fast paced; the guide lost part of our group at one point, but we did find him. There is so much ground to cover; don't know how you could slow it.
