3 stars because The guide was knowledgeable about the history which I could have read on line. Most of the place has been renovated or reconstructed. Maybe 10% original. I would only go here if I had time to waste AND would do this on my own.

Tour was good, but it would have been better if we had been given headsets to be able to hear the tour guide. Because of the size of the group, we sometimes were too far away to hear her and we missed out on a lot of information that she was telling us.
Victoria_W, Apr 2026
It is very informative even for someone that doesn't like history that much. We enjoyed it a lot. The children also learned lots to tell people when they get back home. The tour guide Natalia was great.

The Guide was Not at the Meeting Point. We left Without the Sightseeingtour. We are very sad, because we waited very Long before we left.

Fabiola was fantastic!! She told a lot of history of the city itself, along with the Roman theater and the fortress. It was worth so much more than we paid and a must see!!

Well worth taking the guided tour. I was the only person booked for the tour, so I was lucky to have 2 beautiful and knowledgeable guides all to my self. Maria and her partner (sorry, I forget her name) shared great insight and context about the Alcabaza, from ancient to more modern times. In addition, they exuded kindness and warmth throughout the tour!

The guide never showed up. We had to buy our own tickets. Moreover, the tour company refused to issue refund for the charges. Totally ridiculous.

Marie is a punctual and pleasant guide. Very knowledgeable about the alcazabar and patiently answered every question.

The tour guide said it was one of her first ones in English. She did really well. So much interesting history as she told us about.

This is a steep and continuous climb on uneven pavement. Not recommended for those with mobility issues or the elderly.
Our guide’s English was very difficult to follow.
Jarrett_E, Sep 2025
This tour was very informative. The tour guide spoke good English but she had a thick accent. It took me a little bit to understand her. Overall I would take it again. And I feel it was very well priced.

Visita muy recomendable, duración justa para ir con niños sin que se agoten. Alberto, como guía, excepcional, con las explicaciones técnicas necesarias para llevarte una buena idea sin resultar aburrido, todo lo contrario.
