Untrustworthy provider

The organizer did not provide the booked and paid ticket for the Alhambra and cancelled the tour to the Sacromonte. Nevertheless, he refuses to refund the amount of over 160 euros. The facilitator Tiqets is not helpful at all. I can only strongly advise!

Best tour of Granada

This is the best way to learn about the 3 unique neighborhoods of Granada, the palaces, and gardens. Our guide, Jaimie, was very knowledgeable with perfect English, and a very nice person. We loved this tour!

Breathtaking experience!

Truly remarkable experience. We visited the Alhambra in the morning and Albaicin in the evening. Perhaps would have been better to split into two separate days but due to our schedule, one day was all we had left at Granada. The tour of the Alhambra was magnificent, full of breathtaking views, knowledgeable tour guide Carlos and ample time to soak it all in. Three hour walk around the grounds sound like a lot but our guide kept a comfortable pace which aloud us to enjoy the experience without overburden. Luckily we had a few hours after the Alhambra to go get lunch, go back to our hotel to freshen up and later meet our next tour guide for the evening tour of Albaicin and Sacromonte. That walking tour was physically challenging. The Albaicin area is steep with narrow alleys and uneven paved walkways. However the information and the views make it worthwhile. Comfortable shoes and plenty of water are a must!!
