Excellent tour small group of 6 people, comfortable transport to the palace. Very knowledgeable guide probably could spend much longer time at both the palace and gardens but our departure time did not allow it. Well worthwhile taking this tour to such an interesting place.

Our guide Francis did an excellent job explaining the grounds at a pace that everyone could follow. He constantly was informative and made sure all questions were answered. Our driver Christian did a great job as well not only with his driving but explaining the region

Francisco was an excellent guide. The Alhambra is incredible and historic. Would definitely recommend
Karen_G, May 2025
I’ll start by saying Christian was wonderful! Francisco is not suited as a tour guide! He is a narcissistic ageist who is horrible at his job! He rudely talked negatively about us to the entire group over his microphone and encouraged us to end our tour several times. He never waited for us but constantly walked way too fast! Just a rude man!
The description of the tour should note there is a lot of walking and at many times up/down steep hills and stairs!
We did end the tour early at his encouragement and I believe we should get back most of the cost of the tour!

Excellent bus driver and tour guide. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Alhambra is spectacular and should not be missed. Be prepared for a lot of walking.

We are very glad we booked this tour. It was excellent. I was 3 couples in a mini van. Saw everything we wanted to see. Excellent driver and excellent guide at the Alhambra.

Bill the guide was amazing with his knowledge of Almeria and all the movies that were shot there.
He has been in Almeria for over 40 years from the Netherlands.
Antonio, the local guide at the Alhambra , was very instructive and reviewd the history of the Moors and Christians and Ferdinand and Isabella.
This was a World Heritage site and similar in significance as the Taj Mahal.
