Exceptional guided tour of Alhambra

This was a 3-hour walk within the Alhambra with a super knowledgeable guide (Georgia) who brought this incredible monument to life! Book well in advance, take water, and wear comfortable shoes— prepare to be awed by the beauty of the palaces, the views from the Alcazar, and the verdant Generalife gardens. The Alhambra is incredible and there is always more to ponder and marvel at. Take your time here.

Make sure you arrive in...

Make sure you arrive in plenty of time, we were a couple of minutes late and they left without us, there was no communication as to whether we could still use our tickets or if they had been left for us, dissapointing as i tried to contact the guide but was ignored

The Alhambra and the tour...

The Alhambra and the tour are incredible. Our tour guide was good but a little bit monotone. Overall enjoyable.

Thieves.

A bunch of thieves, in every sense of the word. A service that costs 12 euros is sold for 50, claiming that they provide a service. Do not go with them. They are going to scam you.
