Traveler reviews
Excellent Guide
We really did skip the lines! It was an extensive tour, but interesting nonetheless. I would recommend.
Alhambra Visit
The tour was well organized in the sense it was easy to find our tour guide and getting our audio equipment and starting the tour was fine. However the visit to all the promised sites like the Alcazaba was not done and it was a rushed tour. I think the duration of 3 hours is not sufficient to do justice for the place and the tour operator needs to account for this when fixing the time. The guide was ok and knowledgeable and the level of English understandable but not at a standard one would expect for a tour guide in English which is why I would rate a 4 instead of a five for the lack of covering all the places and communication. The guide had another tour at 12 and our's was at 9 so from that itself one can see the duration of 3 hours promised could not be fulfilled.
Good experience
Bit expensive but was good to get a guide of the Alhambra together with entrance to Nasrid Palaces. Very thorough.
Excellent Tour
Small group is the way to go. The only complaint I had was that they didnt notify that the tour was rescheduled for a later time so I came there 45 minutes earlier.
Great showcase of Alhambra
Friendly and informative tour guide who showed us all the important locations. Very well done. The meeting point was a bit hard to find.
