Alhambra is a must-see

Madeline_P, May 2026

The time of day makes a difference in terms of crowds and weather. Booking well ahead is necessary in order to see the Nazrid Palace part of a tour. It is not always automatically included.Don’t bring small children; it’s too much in terms of walking and the length of tome. They won’t be interested. . The tour could last for 3 to 3.5 hours.

The tour that never happened!

Cynthia_M, May 2026

I booked this tour several weeks in advance, despite reading another review that started tickets were not provided as promised. The day before our tour, I got messages asking if we would be available to move our tour to another time. I responded yes, and had a question in my response, but didn't hear another word from the tour operator until the next morning, just two hours before the tour was scheduled to start. They sent a message that they were unable to obtain tickets and that the tour was cancelled. They offered a refund or a discount on their Grenada city tour. As if! First, if you can't reliably secure tickets, don't offer a tour at all, especially for such a high-demand place. It was very disappointing to miss it. Second, giving a discount on another tour was tacky. The only nice thing I have to say is that the refund was promptly sent. Avoid this company!

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Cynthia, We do not believe your assessment of the situation is entirely fair, and we would like to clarify what happened with complete transparency. We are a travel agency that organizes fully guided tours, including ticket management whenever availability exists. At the time you made your reservation, there was no ticket availability on the official Alhambra Patronato portal, which is the only legally authorized channel for ticket issuance under current regulations. Even so, once we received your reservation, we began our management process and continuously monitored the official ticketing system in an attempt to secure a ticket for you and assign you to the guided tour we had organized months in advance. This process requires time, constant monitoring, and operational coordination, and at no point did we charge you any additional fee for this effort; we assumed this work as part of our customer service in an attempt to help you. Unfortunately, due to the lack of availability caused by the short notice with which the reservation was made, it was not possible to secure your ticket. As soon as we confirmed that we would not be able to complete the contracted service, we offered you reasonable alternatives: an alternative tour option or a full refund of the amount paid, which was ultimately processed. We do acknowledge one point where you are absolutely right: you replied to us the same day, and we did not respond again until the day before the tour. For this lack of communication follow-up, we sincerely apologize. However, we want to make it clear that there was never any bad faith or intention to inconvenience you. On the contrary, we made every possible effort until the very last moment to find a solution and deliver the service you booked, but due to circumstances completely beyond our control, this was ultimately not possible. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards, TuriGranada Team

The highlight of my trip to Granada

This tour was absolutely amazing. Cristina made this experience truly enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable and funny. I was touched by how much she cares about these amazing places. I saw her picking up trash from the floor in more than one occasion. The tour was just the right amount of information. We were able to stop and take pictures and also to take a bathroom break when needed. Cristina you are the best!

We had a great guide,...

Timothee_G, Mar 2026

We had a great guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our group was relatively small (about 10), which made the experience even more enjoyable. At the end, we stayed a little bit longer onsite and walked around again. Surprisingly it was not as busy (at 1pm) and it was great to walk around at our own pace. :)

Our guide was really nice and answered all our questions

Lucia_B, Feb 2026

The meeting point was easy to find just next to the main Alhambras entrance. Our guide was really nice

What a great tour guide!

cliffdenker, Jan 2026

Maria Jose Suarez was a great guide! She was extremely knowledgeable due to her degree in history and many years of experience as a guide. Maria started the tour by giving us a background on the time period. She kept us all engaged and had answers to all our questions. She really brought some of the characters alive by assigning roles to many of the participants. This was really effective at keeping a young boy engaged and entertained. Throughout the tour, she provided updates about some of the characters and added others.

Excellent experience!

This was an informative and comprehensive 3 hour tour of the Alhambra including the Generalife and Nasrid palaces. Our tour guide Jaimie was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and patient, answering many questions. There was a slight delay at the start of the tour but the company reached out to everyone to let them know in advance. We had no issues with tickets for the Nasrid palaces and the entrance time was within the 3 hours of the tour. The Alhambra is an incredible place, not to be missed!

Fabulous tour

Jeannine_M, May 2025

Extremely knowledgeable guide, well paced tour! Plenty of time to admire the beauty and surroundings. You will love it!

Great experience

Rebecca_N, Apr 2025

Great guide who brought the experience alive. The booking experience wasn't straightforward but that was more to do with viator than the guide.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Fraud when booking !!!

Heike_L, Apr 2026

We have clearly been deceived by the agency!We booked guided tour of the Alhambra, Nasrid palaces and Generalife weeks ago and paid immediately! the evening before we got a message that the Nastidiepalast cannot be visited, because you no longer got tickets ...Today at the beginning of the tour it remained the statement and neither the German-speaking guide nor the lady from the agency cared about our concern, we could not visit the palace even though we had paid and this was also clear.Please book me through this agency!!! This is absolutely cheating yet a lady in our group felt the same way!

Empfehlenswert!

Robert, May 2025

Die deutsche Reiseführung hat uns eine hoch informative und angenehme Führung durch die Gärten und Paläste der Alhambra gegeben, mit vielen wissenswerten Details und der Einordnung in die bewegte Geschichte der Nasriden. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Beeindruckend

Beatrix_U, Apr 2025
