Georgia Was a Great Guide for Kids, Beautiful Site

Myself, my husband, and our two young children (7 and 9) had tour guide, Georgia, all to ourselves. She spoke clearly, was attentive, and included our children regularly; answered their questions, have information in age appropriate ways, offered us breaks when she noticed either of the kids were getting tired, and was overall kind. La Alhambra and Generalife are beautiful sites. The gardens are colorful and regularly separated by water fixtures. The palace tiles and intricate carvings are impressive and beautiful.

Top-notch history lesson!

Our tour guide Carlos Serrano fascinated us throughout the entire tour with his enormous knowledge, and we almost couldn't get enough of it! It was a true pleasure to traverse this historical site with Carlos! Thanks again, Carlos, this was really top-notch!!

Ghost tour guide, no name, no telephone- phantom! lost trip

It was a complete disaster. We arrived just on time and The guide was not there at the meeting spot with a blue umbrella Nuher as noted. Looked everywhere, asked around other guides and ticket box. Normally the guide connects beforehand so we know their name and number to call. Usually they check in before leaving the meeting spot. I noted i was with an older person that walked slower, so the more the reason. I didn’t know were the left my tickets ( I had to go searching, finally at the bar) I never got a text a call - no word or next meeting point in tour. Missed all of it completely! I am very upset. Guide chose starting at bottom, so uphill ( instead of common sense downhill ) we moved fast to catch up, asked every guide we saw as well as, the entrance monitors in each area if they saw Nehur/ Viator group and no message was left with any of them! I demand my money back for the guided tour part for both of my tickets please. This lack of communication destroyed the experience, the running to catch up and never seeing or hearing from the group nor getting the historical value after traveling from so far away is un repairable. My older Mother really struggled for nothing and the guide never cared to contact us at all. We had no way to reach him/her, no name no number! Awful Please return my payment thank you.
