The evening tour turned...

The evening tour turned out to be a private tour, which was much better. Our guide took excellent care of us. I think they should highlight that these excursions are not stroller friendly. When we got to Alhambra, we got sauce, surprise that stroller cannot be taken inside, which made the activity very difficult for us.

Alhambra thumbs up

The Alhambra tour, was a bit muddled to begin with. Maybe a few more people checking off names would be of immense benefit. Once we were off, Laura, our guide was superb. She was knowledgeable, caring, ensured we didn’t stray in a nice way and walked at a respectable pace. We nicknamed her Laura Croft. The evening tour not so positive, and not what we expected. The guide was difficult to understand. We expected to see caves and locations where the flamenco took place. We saw lots of viewpoints for the Alhambra, lots of very steep dirty streets. Don’t mind the dirty streets, but I’m sure there were nicer routes. As he said there were lots of routes to take. Also one of our party struggled with the walk, perhaps a warning about shoes and the difficulty factor or the walk would have been beneficial

Impressive monument, disastrous organization.

9/9/23, 9:30 p.m., guided night tour of the Alhambra, reserved and paid one month in advance, €36 per person. One hour before we are in the Generalife area, (where the reservation indicates). There a security person tells us that it is not there, that we should go down to the door of the Palaces. We go down. There another security person tells us that we have to go up to the Generalife area ticket offices... An hour of wandering around. Please, a little seriousness, and a little education and kindness with visitors. In the end we made the visit, the Alhambra was spectacular, as always, and the guide, Ana, was very good, and tried to solve all the problems.
