Traveler reviews
Alhambra Paradise
Outstanding! Maria Theresa, our guide, was friendly, knowledgable and patient with all the many questions we had. She provided good knowledge of the history and architecture of the Alhambra. She came ready with our tickets - very organised - and able to skip the lines. Although it was very crowded with tourists she easily navigated us through the crowds and allowed us to take as many pictures as we liked. We did have some difficulty with the meeting point, but shared this with Maria Theresa, who already thought of a good solution to make it more clear for future clients.

Our guide Anna was thorough and friendly. Knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. The meeting point however was a bit confusing as Google Maps led us to another place. Access to attractions was no fuss.

We had an amazing tour guide, Anis. He was a wealth of knowledge and was happy to answer any of our questions. It was a private tour that encompassed the entire compound and he shared details about everything including the plants and trees and the gardens. He is very passionate about the history of his home town and the Alhambra. We couldn’t have had a better experience.

This was an extremely well thought out tour. Our guide, Guillermo, had enclopedia-level knowledge of the Alhambra and he made it so interesting that we loved every minute. Absolutely fascinating experience we would highly recommend!
Ripped off
First of all, my wife booked this very expensive ticket without realizing that it includes municipal bus fares for nine trips and free entrance to numerous other monuments and museums in Granada. Fair enough. The tour of the Alhambra was fine - but still involved standing in line. But when we went to use our free entrance barcodes, one of them was always rejected. I was told “you already used this this morning at 10 AM” or “yesterday at 4 PM.” So this was kind of a rip off. I don’t know if it’s a computer problem or what but beware. This is a lot of money to pay for promises that are not kept.
