Very enthusiastic and informative tour guide ,who provided an excellent experience,despite having to manage both English and Spanish speakers,due to an error by the local agents.

Overall this was good tour, easy to meet everyone at the start, and headphones provided so we could hear the tour guide. You can book with confidence. My one big recommendation is it would be nice if the leader had a flag they could hold to make it easier to follow them in areas where it was very busy on the street or within the buildings. No fault of her own, but our guide was pretty short and multiple times we could not find where she was with all the crowds The grounds and buildings were beautiful, and there is no other way to visit than with a guided tour such as this one. Guide built in a couple of stops in case we needed to grab some water or a quick bite to eat. I also recommend using MAPS on your Iphone or other smart phone to navigate the streets in order to find the office to meet up,,but we used that also for our entire trip to find our way around the cities with small winding streets. We parked in the underground garage that was recommended, and had no problems at all

Informative tour to give you the history and a lovely stroll through the site.i would recommend this tour to all but there is a small uphill section at the start to negotiate that most will be able to manage.We enjoyed the gardens and you could spend a whole day exploring the site to it’s fullest.

Our guide Sandra was experienced and informative. She gave just enough history and context without overwhelming us. Our access in and out of each area went smoothly. Her stories about the people were especially interesting. The Alhambra is amazing!

My daughter made a mistake on the date of the reservation. I understand I lost that reservation. I do not understand why booking a last minute reservation was sooooo much more expensive, 138 Euro per person. More than 3x the original price.

Guide was informative, pleasant and knowledgeable about the history. One criticism was the directions to get to the meeting point and parking which were not clear and resulting in us nearly missing the tour .

Sondra was a fantastic tour guide. She told us just enough about history of Arabic/christian rule, and about social context for the monument. With lots humor, laughing. She made sure we were all together and gave us ample breaks. As a native of Grenada, she was proud of her city. The headsets were fantastic, made sure we could not only hear, but also knew when to come back. Sondra took us to most of the important places, though she quickly skipped by a Patio near the last stop that was really too wonderful to skip. Wish she had said goodbye inside to those who wanted to see more.

It’s a very nice morning walk with professional tour guide. Three hours is not enough to view the whole Alhambra. Lucky we can stay after the tour and walk around.
