Beautiful and historic. Well deserving of its designation as a World Heritage site.
We upgraded the Hammam for a longer massage. Definitely worth the extra charge (€13 per person) for the 30 minute massage. Who gets a massage in 15 minutes? :)
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thanks a lot!
In Granavision makes us happy that your experience was as you expected. Also we are glad that you enjoyed the Hammam experience.
Kind Regards from Granada!

Awesome tour. Wonderful guide. So many wonderful stories. One small thing, I think showing an orientation map at beginning and referring back to it during tour would be helpful. It’s so big, it’s easy to get lost.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thank you for your positive review and recomendation. We will consider showing a map at the beggining of our tours. We hope to have you back soon!

Being inside the Alhambra with a well-informed guide who spoke fluent English and willing to dialogue with the group.
Frank_U, Jul 2019
Alhambra was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable & entertaining. The Arab Baths were an unexpected treat. Highly recommend this trip
Linda L L, Oct 2017
This was the best tour I've ever been on. Our guide, Sergio was exceptional. His knowledge of the Alhambra was incredible. He was able to field all questions and kept up enthralled. There is allot of walking and the ground is uneven. I'm 69 but had no trouble, I do have a trainer and was averaging 20,000 steps a day on fit bit. There are plenty of places to get out of the sun and water for purchase at the gift shop but I took my own bottle.
After the Alhambra we did the Granada Hammam. Couldn't believe what a fabulous experience that was. Decor much like the Alhambra with replicated tiles. There are several pools of varying degrees, a hot sauna and then a 15 minute massage, where Javiar rubbed me with pomegranate oil. Wish the massage was longer but for 19 what can your expect. I'd recommend to everyone visiting the Alhambra. The ice pool was very healing to our feet. They also had lovely warm tea as you relaxed.

Collected from our beautiful hotel and taken to this amazing Alhambra, high in the Sierra Navada mountains. Beautiful, spacious gardens, magnificent views and a passionate knowledgable guide transporting us through history.
The Grand Hannam was fantastic; historical, destressing and a must see.
DON_G, Sept 2017
Fabulous tour with Alberto. Knowledgeable and great sense of humor.
Maritza_R, Sept 2017
Our tour gave the Ahambra the justice it deserves as a cultural, historical jewel! She was able to impart her encyclopedic knowledge to transport us to a time when this palace was full of life and guided us through it's transformation overtime, thank you!
Victoria P, Jul 2017
The guide was well versed in history and multiple languages. The Alhambra is an amazing place and Granada is a beautiful special city. My favorite in all of Spain and we have been to Barcelona,Cordoba,Malaga and Majorca...

All in all, a fantastic tour with a funny, knowledgeable guide named Gustavo. The weather was very hot, but he managed to lead us around in the shade as much as possible.
The only glitch was with our visit to the Hammam which was by appointment. Everybody seemed to have a different idea about our 'tickets'. We were expecting our visit to be quite soon after our Alhambra tour which wrapped up around 1:30. We had to go back to the ticket office, where the young woman who picked us up told us she had misunderstood and gave us back our original voucher and told us our visit was at 6 pm. It was very hot. We walked down from the Alhambra into the Plaza Nueva, had some lunch and decided we were not going to hang around until 6 pm, so we decided not to do this portion.
Matteo A, May 2017
Alhambra is an amazing site. Anyone that visits Granada should have the Alhambra on their list to see. On a negative note, our tour guide seemed annoyed to be there and even more annoyed when anyone asked any questions. Also, we missed the second half of our tour the baths because no directions were given to meet and/or be transported to the baths.
Julio L, Feb 2017
Definitely get the skip the line. Hamman in Granada is awesome a must visit
Michael T, Dec 2016
In the end, I think I would have just preferred the Alhambra tour. The guide was excellent, and I enjoyed listening to the tour in both English and Spanish. The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens are, of course, incredible. Walking with a guide maximized the most of every moment with a chance to hear the history while walking from one part of the site to another. The break between the Alhambra bit and the Hammam, for me, was quite long--I had plenty of time to explore more after the guided tour ended. The Hammam, though, was not a win for me. I thought it would be different from what it was. I didn't have the right clothes to make it work, and, in the end, I just ghosted without actually taking my turn in the Hammam. But, if you do like Hammam and it would be especially nice in colder weather!, the combination of both parts fills the day nicely, but still leaves plenty of time in between to do other things as well.

This tour was mis represented to us. We were told it was an 8 hour tour at 135 sounded expensive but for 8 hours we thought it was okay. We asked the operator about lunch and she said it was not included but the tour guide would probably take us somewhere to have lunch. It was just under a 3 hour tour of the Alhambra until 1 pm the we were supposed to wait until 6 pm for our Arab bath experience. This would have been a 2.5 hour drive back to Ronda at 7.39 pm in the dark having left at 6 am to get to Granada. We were expecting a lot more than being left to our own devices in Granada for 5 hours. We did manage to negotiate with the bath house to change it to a 4 pm booking so at least we were heading back at 6.30. The operator was ill informed about what was involved in the tour and she probably did not lie but somehow interpreted the tour as 8 hours. We felt mis led and I am now very hesitant to use viator again as you obviously outsource everything and are not well informed on what you are selling.

Guillermo was a fantastic guide and this tour was fantastic.
Tammara H, Aug 2016
The whole day start to finish was fantastic. Our Guide was phenomenal. The only issue that could have been improved upon was instructions for the Baths.
Glen_B, Jul 2016
Fantastic to be there before the crowds, it gives the place a different feel and enables you to experience the tranquility and holiness of the place. Enjoyed seeing the inside of the church. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and cheerful. An unexpected bonus for us was all the information proved on the sights of Barcellona as we left.
Harriette B, Jul 2016
The staff were very helpful and obliging. Our guide Fernando was excellent, both in his presentation of the information and his personal observations. Given the number of people walking through Alhambra, Fernando made sure we all had an opportunity to see the best on offer. A visit to hammam a must!
Marisa C, Jun 2016
We had a delayed flight and had to miss our scheduled time for the tour. They were accommodating and able to get us into a later tour. We enjoyed the visit to the Alhambra, but our guide was a little monotone. We didn't get any instructions for how to arrive at the Granada Hammam, but once we called, they cleared that up. The Hammam was wonderful, especially after a hot day touring the Alhambra... wish we had booked massages. Next time we'll do that.
Ruxandra M, Jun 2016
Alhambra Tour was rushed and not well organized. From pick up point we had to walk a long way to the office to take the bus to Alhambra. There we waited for 15 min to get headphones and be assigned to a guide. Our group entrance hour was at 11 so we had an hour to kill and we had been taken to another museum. Too much walking back and forth for older people uphill.
AshikaA_E, Jun 2016
Absolute disgrace. Late panicking pick up, taken to the visitors centre as cattle and told to wait for an English speaking guide. Good local guide took us around. No pick up ready when we finished our tour and was told we had to wait at least a half an hour or more for others to finish their tour. As for the hamman, a joke. No help from any of your suppliers and they did not have any details of what we had paid for and when was my appointment. Only a 15 minute massage and busy haman/arab baths. will write to others not to bother going through you, as you are too expensive, no service what soever locally. It is a disgrace what you offer. Ashi

This tour is organised locally by Granavision. For reasons that were not clear our all day tour was rescheduled to the following day in the afternoon for the Alhambra visit. That was fine however they seem to have forgotten the Hammam baths part. This required some sorting our with the help of the hotel. However we did get our tours and even if done separately they are definitely worth doing. Remember your bathing costume for the baths! Our guide for the Alhambra tour was excellent and spoke very good English and also French. Recommended.
Iftekhar I, Feb 2016
Excellent addition of Hammam was out of this world!
Michael W, Feb 2016
Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable however, the tour is too fast and doesn't provide ample opportunity to really get to understand the Alhambra. It was also very difficult to manage this tour with pre-teen kids as you have to listen to the guide through headphones - which only the adults got. The bath was wonderful and a great experience. I would skip the tour and see the Alhambra on your own or with a smaller group guide if you have kids in tow.
Sarah G, Oct 2015
Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Victor's tour was both educational and fun. His passion for the Alhambra comes through so strongly and his delivery of the tour sounds a fresh as the first time, even though he must have done it so many times. He answered all our questions with a wealth of information and knowledge. We look forward to coming back again. The Arab bathes were also a wonderful experience and again, all the staff were so warm and friendly. I would definitely use Viator again and recommend you to others. Thank you for helping to make our trip such a great one.
Alan D, Aug 2015
everything easy and exactly as we expected - in my opinion the only way to see the Alambra
Marnie-Anne S, Nov 2014
I recommend doing a guided tour, rather than using the audio guide. It is much better having a guide to tell you about the history of granada and so you can ask questions. I really recommend the tour. Antonio was our tour guide and he was very, very good.
The Hammam baths were beautiful, and very relaxing after all the walking you do around Alhambra! Just sensational.
Lydia S, Nov 2014
Well it started off great the driver was on time and very friendly, he picked us up from our hotel which was great since it was not located down in the Plaza area! The tour of Alhambra could have been better, the radios did not work well and the head phones were the kind you put in your ears! My ears are small so they didn't fit so I had to hold them in my ears for 2 hours what a pain! Other tours had nicer head phone that went around your ear which are so much better! Our tour guide was sick and we had 3 languages in our group so he had to go from English/Spanish then talk in French! I really feel like we didn't get very good information and I really think other tour had better guides! I would have even rather had a rented hand held radio instead but this tour was the only tickets available because they really limit the amount of visitors each day and you can't just show up and buy tickets because you might not get in and we only had 2 days there!
If you are staying in a hotel that's not in walking distance just pack a backpack with you swim suits for the Bath house because you can walk down to the Plaza after the Alhambra tour and look at all the shops and have lunch! We didn't go back on the tour bus to our hotel because we wanted to enjoy all the museums in the Alambra and the other parts that the tour didn't cover, which was a lot! The ticket were very expensive so we wanted to everything that was included by the Alhambra! After the your we walked down into the Plaza and enjoyed lunch and people watched! We jump in a cab and went back to the hotel to grab our swim suits then a cab back to the Plaza where the bath house was located, cab ride was about 6e each way!
The Hamman was awesome and I really wished we would have got massages and we tried to get one but they had no appointments available so note totally book a massage! Our tour did get big spa towels to use while everyone else just had a thing that looked like a scarf kinda strange!
Too expensive
Michele A, Oct 2014
The Alhambra tour was excellent, but I was disappointed that I had to buy a ticket to the Hamman, just to be able to get a ticket to the Alhambra. As it was we were unable to use the Hamman that day and the company wouldn't let use have a voucher to use for another day.
Gina G, Jun 2014
Wonderful tour. Amazing tour guide and friendly and assistive staff. Highly recommend. The alhambra is out of this world and this is the group to discover it with. As for the Granada Hammam (Arab Baths) they were an experience to die for. Otherworldly and relaxing.
