Tile should be “ Walking Tour “ !

The palace is already a long long walk up and down and make it worse they make you walk all the way uphill steep from the city center to the palace on a hot day although shaded in some areas still the air is hot . By the time you get to the palace you’re already so tired ! The title of this tour should be walking tour ! Yes they say no transportation at the end of the list . But they never tell you it’s hard on old people and making you even walk to the place on a steep mountain ! Plus we were staying at a hotel uphill next to the place along their walk way and we asked if the group would allow us to join ( way before the palace tour even begins ) , they refused . So we have to walk down hill and then realized no shuttle or bus and walk uphill all over again .. And the guide half the stuff she says can’t understand - Maria . People have to ask and she has to repeat 2-3 times . It’s better to get your ticket and do it yourself . We saw no lines or us skipping any lines . All entries to the entrance were no lines . The place where this is a line is the nasrid palaces which they won’t take you anyways !

Good tour.

This tour was informative and the guide was great. I should have realized that it didn’t include the Nastrid Palace. So know that going into it. Knowing that I actually would have rather done a different tour. But the guide herself was the sweetest!!!

The place is precise,...

The place is precise, but Play Granada, the tour company, did a very poor job. He changed my schedule twice. Finally, he sent me alone, without even informing me that it was more than a 30-minute walk from the entrance. We arrived super late and they almost didn't let us in. Take the tour, but with another company.
