Not worth the cost

Guide was generally uninterested with sparse information compared to other tour guides going around at the time. Tickets cost 10x the face value - which would have been worth it if guide gave any useful information. Very poor English which made it difficult to understand on this “English” tour. Also a large group of 18 people not a “small” group as advertised.

Short in time and content

Disappointing tour in that it was advertised to last 2 hours but the actual time was 1 hour 15 minutes. Also advised that it included a guide around the Alacazaba but this section was not visited as part of the tour. More disappointingly they failed to provide details of their complaints procedure although I did obtain a refund thanks to a very efficient GetYourGuide Agent. Go to Alhambra of course but not with this tour company.
