Alhambra including palace

catherine_D, May 2025
Fernando had a very strong accent which was hard to understand at times but probably more to do with our inability to interpret the accent. It is such a fabulous site to see.

Everything was wonderful. Pedro was very knowledgeable and the 3 hours tour just flew. We learned a lot and the Alhambra is now a highlight of our Andalucian trip.

A must

Dawn_C, May 2024
A must ! Do all three Oalaces and gardens we had been before but last time we only did one. That was a mistake. Our guide Pedro was great. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Great experience

Ruben was a really good guide, very knowledgeable and took his time showing us the place and sharing information.

Everyone will tell you that it is a must see. This was the sole purpose for our trip to Granada. No pictures can describe it or capture its beauty. You have to experience being in the palaces perched up on the hill to understand the beauty of what was built so many years ago. We had an excellent guide with great knowledge of the history of the Alhambra and her English was clear and understandable. This makes the tour just that more interesting when you are explained each room and the culture and traditions that went along with those times. ENJOY!!!

Complete tour of the Palaces. The guide Anna was knowledgeable, professional and understanding as we were traveling with a one year old infant who had ants in his pants.

Janey S, Jun 2016
I only booked a tour because of the difficulty of booking tickets for Alhambra by credit card from Australia, but was very glad in the end that I did do a tour. This place is enormous, and my visit was definitely enhanced by being in a group. The earphones were a pleasant surprise, as I have a hearing defect and audio tours usually don't work for me, but the quality technology meant that I could participate and hear the guide well. It is a long tour, but there is a break in the middle which was welcome. There are also quite a few places where you can sit down for a few minutes to ease your feet if necessary. There is however a lot of climbing up and down steps, and I dropped out just before the end not wishing to climb any more. Our guide spoke good English and was very enthusiastic and pleasant to be with. Definitely to be recommended.

FANTASTIC and MAJESTIC. The wonders of Islamic Architecture is marvilous. An absolute wonder. No need for the guides, just read about the place before you go.

Kerry J, May 2016
Excellent, informative tour! Our guide maintained our interest with her knowledge of the Alhamra and expressive voice. We walked at a good pace for our group with a significant range of ages 30s to 70s and had ample opportunity for photos along the way. We also appreciated the mid-tour break with time to sit down and/or explore a bit on our own.

Stuart, Apr 2016
We were disappointed with the tour for the reason that one of our party of 4 lost her ticket at the start and was unable to complete the tour. The regulations were so strict about needing a ticket at each stage, that she was unable to get past the first visit and this was very, very disappointing for her and for us. The guide was apologetic but was unable to help in any way. So, our pleasure in being at the Alhambra was significantly affected by this great disappointment, that one of us wasn't able to be there to see it.

michael n, Apr 2016
Despite the change in start time that was emailed to me the day before no wifi in apartment so I didn't see it , the tour itself was excellent and our guide was a local with immense and informative knowledge of the Alhambra. She also gave good tips for things to do after the tour which were spot on , simply a brilliant guide , it's just a shame I can't remember her name :

Impressionnant

Michel_D, Apr 2024
Accès facile, stationnement facile, très bon guide, peu d’attente, site historique merveilleux, très beaux jardins avec fleurs…très beau. Bonne marche, prévoir conditionnements

Contar la una persona que guía la visita y te cuente y de explicaciones y detalles de todo lo que ves hace que la experiencia sea completamente diferente y mejor.

La guia Ana del Carmen encantadora, con mucha educacion y saber estar ademas se simpatica y con muchos conocimientos. Nos hizo la visita impecable con muy buenas explicaciones y anecdotas. Muy recomendable.

Hola Jessica, muchas gracias por tu reseña. Le haremos saber a Ana del Carmen tu comentario, esperamos que hayas disfrutado mucho de la experiencia!

Descripción del tour errónea

ANDREA_S, Nov 2021
Contraté este tour porque en la descripción de Viator especificaba “Tour en grupos pequeños con un máximo de 10 personas” me sentí bastante engañada cuando vi que en nuestro grupo nos juntaron a 30 personas; lo que supuso que el sonido del micrófono que usaba el guía con nuestros auriculares se perdía si no estábamos pegados a ella; que era más incomodo al atravesar las zonas de los palacios cuando nos juntábamos con más grupos y se masificaba todo; que era casi imposible sacar fotos sin personas alrededor o gente pasando por delante; entre otros. Escribí mi descontento al tour una vez terminado y ni han contestado…no lo recomendaría, me parece mal mentir y dar datos equívocos sobre un tour y ni contestar a los mensajes.
