Alhambra palace

DEEPAKNARANDAS_S, May 2026

Though our tickets for Alhambra Palace included Nasrid Palaces as per the itinerary, we were not taken there.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Deepak, As we explained to you several times yesterday and again this morning, you booked the cheapest available tour, which did NOT include the Nasrid Palaces. This information is visible before booking in the "Included and Not Included" section and in the description of each tour before purchase. We also reiterated this in your visit reminder. We regret that you were unable to visit this part of the tour, but it is the tour you freely chose. Therefore, we advise you to read all the details of your booking to avoid disappointment next time. Have a lovely day! The team Discovering Spain

Driver & Journey & driver great, Alhambra Tour Group too big

Caroline_J, Apr 2026

Our driver from Seville to the Alhambra Palace, Jose, was brilliant! His minibus was extremely comfortable and a very safe drive. We stopped at a lovely cafe on the way, where Jose recommended a delicious local delicacy to try, which did not disappoint! It was lovely to chat along the way and learn snippets of local history etc, plus the added bonus of being dropped back at our hotel at the end of a long day, saving a 40 min walk! Definitely a 5 star experience regarding the transport. The Alhambra Palace and gardens were stunning, but the guided tour was a large group of around 24, which in my opinion, was way too big as it was hard to keep up with guide who was constantly on the move, and resulted in the audio headset provided becoming out of range! The tour is marketed as a ‘small group’ on its header page, so I was expecting this for both the transport and tour, but sadly this was not the case and for me, spoilt the experience somewhat. Hence only 3 stars. If like me, you are looking for a small group experience for the entire day, would be worth clarifying with your provider first.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear customer, Thank you for your detailed feedback! 🌟 We are thrilled that Jose and the comfortable journey from Seville provided a 5-star experience for you. 🚐 Regarding the tour, we guarantee transport in small groups of up to 8 people, though the Alhambra guided visit can include up to 30 people, around 8-15 people... depending on demand. 🏰 We also offer fully private options for a more intimate experience. 🙌 The team Discovering Spain.

Great day trip from Seville!

The best driver & tour guide

Heather_M, Jun 2025

Our private transfer to Alhambra by Rafa was first class. He messaged us in the morning of the pickup, gave us a coffee break en route due to the long drive time, took care of us meeting our Alhambra guide, communicated with us for the pickup point back, arranged another coffee break and dropped us off in the city at a location convenient for our evening’s plans. He was wonderful company all day, and he was very familiar with our home country of Scotland which made for great conversations. Our guide for Alhambra 2 hours walk tour was Xavi. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and history. Very considerate about the heat and keeping us in the shade. Absolutely top class guide. Highly recommend this excursion.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and enthusiastic review of your Alhambra tour from Seville! We're so happy to hear that you rate the experience as "The Best Driver & Tour Guide" and that you highly recommend it. It's fantastic to read what a wonderful time you had with Rafa, our driver. We're proud to know that his private transfer service was "top-notch," from the communication in the morning, the convenient coffee breaks en route (especially on hot days like today in Granada, with 30 degrees Celsius!), the impeccable coordination with the Alhambra guide, to the flexibility to drop you off at a convenient location in the city for your evening plans. We love knowing that he was wonderful company and that his familiarity with Scotland further enriched the conversations. We'll definitely pass on your compliments! And, of course, your words about Xavi, our guide at the Alhambra, fill us with pride. It's great that you highlighted his incredible knowledge of the area and its history, as well as his thoughtfulness in keeping you in the shade, especially important under the Granada sun. Knowing that you consider him an "absolutely top-class" guide is the best reward. We strive to offer excursions of the highest quality, with a professional and passionate team, and reading that both Rafa and Xavi exceeded your expectations confirms that we are on the right track. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Andalusia in the future to continue creating unforgettable memories! Best regards, The Discovering Spain Team

My favorite tour in all of Spain

Lori_L, Dec 2022

I was picked up where indicated and I was grateful the driver had my number as he contacted me when there. I was by myself so this was very helpful. After the drive to Granada I met the tour group but not before the driver made sure I was there. He also kept in contact with taking me back. While the tour was wonderful the driver was an essential part of this tour making me feel safe as a solo traveler

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hello! We are really glad hearing that not simply enjoyed the tour but also you could appreciate our team. We always try to offer our customers the best service and we work hard to achieve that! We hope to see you again :) Regards.
