Jose as our guide did a wonderful tour throughout all of Alhambra. Highly recommend the tour of Alhambra and General Life with Madrid Palaces
Esther_G, Apr 2026
Emilio was an amazing tour guide who gave us a great understanding into the history of the Alhambra. He also went at a good pace for us to appreciate the different areas, take photos and ask questions (including breaks and pace of walking given the Alhambra is a huge area to cover with plenty of other visitors). We would highly recommend this tour!

It was drizzling and we were told to be at the meeting point 15 mins before the tour but the guide turned up at 9.35am which was frustrating as the tour was scheduled to start at 9.30am. Her heart didn’t seem to be in it and she spoke too quickly, was difficult to understand and the group was way too big as she’d stop and speak about something but due to the crowds if you weren’t basically beside her you didn’t really know what she was referring to which is why we paid for a guided tour. Seemed like just a job for her no enthusiasm. Other people on the tour shared their disappointment with us. For the money that we paid it was a waste - should have just walked around ourselves .

I was a bit wary at first - needing to spend quite a lot extra on a guided ticket to ensure we could visit the Alhambra, not really that excited about a group guided tour… but but but, we had an AMAZING visit! A lot of that was because Jose was truly a special guide. Such detailed expertise and breadth of knowledge, but delivered in a thoughtful, digestible and engaged way. Never overbearing, attentive to the group. We learnt so much about the social and political history of that period, the Islamic influences in Spanish culture, the architectural styles, the poetry, so much layered detail through which to see the beauty around in multiple dimensions. The earpiece based approach also helps to make the tour your own, and it never felt we never felt like herded sheep. A very big thank you to Jose!!
As for the Alhambra, and especially the Nasrid palaces… I’m lost for words. After all the hype and expectation, it achieves something on a sublime plane that our vocabulary has not yet captured. Mesmerising, an experience of a lifetime…

The Alahambra was an amazing palace. The guide was so knowledgeable on the history of the place and of Grenada.
Should not be missed

I received a WhatsApp message from the tour operator Viaternum Tours the day before our scheduled tour to tell us that they had had a system error and that our tickets (booked and paid for a month earlier) had been cancelled! They offered to reschedule us in the upcoming weeks which of course made no sense as we’d be back home across the Atlantic by then. We now must wait for our expected refund……bush league!

A truly remarkable area to visit with so much history and so much unique architecture. Our guide Lara made the visit truly incredible with her upbeat personality and extensive knowledge of the entire region, not just the Alhambra. Would definitely recommend this to her to anyone who enjoys history and wants to get 10 times more out of their visit than they would if they just walked around without a guide.
Jeanne_F, Mar 2026
Emilio gave a wonderful tour & he was an interesting, informative & knowledgeable guide. He provided lots of tidbits of information that made the Alhambra come alive. I would highly recommend this tour and Emilio as the tour guide!!
Corinne_W, Mar 2026
Great…very informative. Our guide was easy to understand. Wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking involved
Gregory_L, Mar 2026
The Alhambra is a wonderful world-historical monumental site, stunning in beauty, of course. Everyone should see it. Our tour with Eva made it even better. She's well informed, bright, and fun to be with.
Kr_S, Jan 2026
We had a very good conducted tour (conducted through Viaternum Tours). Emilio explained things very well. The one thing that people booking these tours should be aware of is that the time slot for the Nasrid Palace is known quite late (through Whatsapp) and they need to keep adequate flexibility for the day.
Heather_W, Dec 2025
Great tour, Emielio was an excellent guide.
Would highly recommend if visiting the Alhambra, very knowledgeable and plenty of time for photos & questions
Mariel_G, Nov 2025
Excellent tour! Our guide was great! So friendly and knowledgeable. The earpieces were great so we could explore and still hear her. Highly recommend!
Kristin_M, Nov 2025
They literally cancelled the tour the day before and gave us a “partial refund” which was still way more expensive than buying tickets to the palace would have been. Avoid this tour at all costs.
Jill_R, Nov 2025
Alhambra is a fortress, a series of beautiful palaces and gardens and a summer palace. A guided tour provides the context and the organization to really enjoy the experience!
Mara_D, Nov 2025
Well organized. Timely start. Our guide (Emilio) was very good. Very good and clear communication prior to start.
NicholasW, Nov 2025
It's a huge site and a guide helps one make the most of it to understand more of the history and culture of the time.
Calvin_C, Nov 2025
The format was good for us. We made our own way there. Meeting point was near the Alhambra. Easy to find and quiet location. Eva, our tour guide, was right on time. She was most personable and knowledgeable. Group size (20) was good. We could have spent more time at the Alcazaba and Nasrid Palace but that's the constraint of a three-hour tour, which nears the limits of my attention span, anyway 🤣. The tour ends inside the Alhambra so you can explore on your own but there is no re-entry to the palaces.
The Alhambra is truly a gem. Eva helped us learn about its architecture and history. We fully enjoyed ourselves.

An enjoyable three hour tour of the Alhambra complex. Our tour guide. Marta was very knowledgeable. It is a full on three hour tour, and whilst the highlight the Nasrid Palaces are not to missed, it would have been nice to have had a little more free time in the beautiful General Life Gardens.
Naomi_R, Oct 2025
The tour of the Alhambra was excellent. Our tour guide Marta, was delightful, spoke good english clearly and offered great information regarding the history of the Alhambra. She timed the tour very well allowing everyone plenty of time to take photos. She was very friendly and accommodating, and kept a head count as we moved from space to space so no one got separated from the tour (there are many tours going on simultaneously.)
Angela_D, Oct 2025
We liked our guide; she did a good job. Lost a star was purely due to the fact that it was VERY crowded and kind of boring. The gardens were beautiful. Was there in early October.
Jenniffer_G, Oct 2025
From the start, the tour company was very open, information was clear on where to meet and details related to the tour were communicated and aswered promptly. During the tour, our guide Eva was very approachable and knowledgeable, she kept the group in good spirits, tour had a good pace and made our visit to Alhambra a very enjoyable experience. Would recommend!
Dana_W, Oct 2025
Beautiful tour. A must in Granada. Eva was wonderful, knowledgeable and very motivated as a guide. She worked the group or like she likes to say, family perfectly through all the must see in and around Alhambra Palace. Thank you so much.
Nancy_S, Aug 2025
My tour guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The only reason I am giving a 3 star rating is because the tour was bilingual. Commentary was provided in English and Spanish. I did not realize this when I booked the trip. If the tour was only in English, I would give 5 stars.
Paul_S, Jul 2025
A very thorough tour of the Alhambra and Nasrid Palace. Emiliano was a great tour guide. He spent lots of time explaining all of the history, pointing out little tidbits and interesting facts, and was more than willing to take pictures for our family. We really enjoyed this experience.
Josefine_S, Jul 2025
Emilio was the best guide he knew a lot and had lots of fun facts. We got to see all the beautiful places inside Alehambra.
Sergio_R, Jun 2025
There is a lot of conection between Nature and Jesús Life . It was Gaidi s intention to express this ideas through out this spectacular monument
Niurka_D, May 2025
This was an excellent tour guided by Emilio in English, he was impresive with all information he shared that we would never know doing the visit by ourselves, 100% recommended.
Robert_C, May 2025
This was a great tour. The guide was very good, giving us a lot of information but not too complicated. Given the amount there is to see, she did a great job of keeping us moving through the different buildings and gardens.
ElisaAji_N, Apr 2025
We love Emilio and his quizzes, especially my husband 😆 Emilio is knowledgeable and he ran the tour nicely.
