Wonderful tour of the Alhambra

Andrew_S, May 2025

Brilliant guide - real passion for history and great at communicating it. Particularly liked the translation of some of the writing on the walls of the Palaces, and the honest lack of explanation for something, when there is none - particularly why are there western paintings and sculptures of lions when Islam forbids such images? We enjoyed the discussion immensely, and the 10 minute break for coffee to pause and assimilate, and the gentle pace with which the tour progressed. An unforgettable morning in an unforgettable place.

Great experience at a...

A must do

Francesco_C, Mar 2023

The views were amazing fro the generalife. The palaces were breath taking. The knowledge we learned from our guide fully encompassed the history of such a beautiful place. A must do.

Must see Alhambra!

Fascinating! The palace, grounds and gardens are a must see! The Alhambra is so worth the trip to Grenada! Beautiful! Historical! Amazing! We had a private tour and really enjoyed it!

Overall insufficiency on foreign customer oriented

changiyc, Nov 2019

it was a wonderful palace and also impressive on historical aspects. we could use this private walking tour only since couldn't find any normal tickets accordingly our tour schedule. however, we expected to hear and feel more kind explanation as well as intention more to foreign customer oriented. and was also difficult to meet a guider at a meetig point.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Hi Mr. Chang, We are very sorry to know that you expected more on this private tour. We understand that maybe you prefered a group tour instead of a private tour, but that discontent escapes our hands, since you accepted the private tour. No one forced you to book a private tour and once you completed the booking with Tripadvisor, we received it and it was managed by us. In regards to the following point, we know it can be difficut to meet the tour guide at the meeting point during the high season, that's why besides your voucher, we sent you a map with the exact meeting point and provided the name and phone number of your tour guide and the emergency phone of the travel agency for assistance. We also talked to the tour guide and from his side, everything was perfect and he didn't realized that you needed more care. We apologyze for this last point. We always want your complete satisfaction and it seems that we didn't achieve it this time. Best regards,

Knowledgeable & Great English

Our guide was very personable and demonstrated in depth knowledge of the site. We learnt a lot and enjoyed ourselves. It was worth paying for the private tour.
