2-Day Granada Tour from Seville Including Skip-the-Line Access to Alhambra Palace and Arabian Baths

Отличный тур с очень удобным приятелем и чрезвычайно знающими гидами. Много истории и потрясающие виды.

Сам тур был потрясающим. Наш гид Петра, наш водитель и гид в Альгамбре Хуан были восхитительны. Во время долгой дороги вас постоянно информируют забавными фактами о городе, однако есть время и для отдыха. Автобус очень удобный, водитель останавливается на полпути, так что каждый может попить или сходить в туалет. Альгамбра, безусловно, обязательна для посещения, когда вы осматриваете достопримечательности, и наш гид Хуан сделал этот опыт еще лучше благодаря своему энтузиазму и дает всем время, чтобы сделать фотографии и снять видео.

Очень интересно, но для меня слишком длинно. Если возможно, вы можете предложить группе возможность менее продолжительного визита.

Это была удивительная поездка. Наш гид Петра развлекала нас на протяжении всего путешествия. Нашим гидом был Карлос, отличный гид с большим знанием Аль-Хамбры.

Given the commuting time from Seville to Grenada, this is an early starting tour. Our tour guide (Abby) and driver (Jesus) picked us up from the pre arranged hotel pick up point and everything kick started on time. As we all began to slowly wake up after the pit stop, Abby began to give us a very interesting historical guide of Granada and Andalusia as a whole. You can tell she is very passionate about the appreciation of the history of the area and this made it more interesting to listen to and take in. As we arrived in Granada we were able to roam freely for a while to take in the beautiful sights of the narrow winding streets and then took a short yet very interesting tour with Abby as she gave us a clear insight into how the locals live either in the town or the gypsies in the surrounding hills. It's always good to get an appreciation of the history and conflict that took place in the formation and transformation of a city and with Abby's heartfelt guide through the town, you definitely got this. As we then arrived in Alhambra, we then got a specialist tour guide that took us through the mesmeric grounds of the palaces. This is something you have to see to fully appreciate. It really is special, especially on a clear sunny day. The only thing I think they could work on here is splitting the tour into Spanish and English as although our tour guide continuously switched from on to the other and gave a great tour, it could have flowed more smoothly if it were broken down into smaller groups where there wasn't a need to wait around for her to switch from one language to another. Having said all this, it was a great tour nonetheless. Overall a great day and very much recommended.

<p>This was a great trip, having the extra day in Granada was the best to be able to explore and enjoy time on our own in this wonderful city. The main complaint was disorganization. Once at the Ahambra Palace if you did not watch close you could easily lose your group prior to the tour even starting. After the tour the time spent locating and finding the ride back on the bus again was very disorganized and confusing. Luckily we stayed and our ride was called to take us to the hotel for the night and the rest of our rides and pickups went without a problem. This is a city well worth the trip and the overnight.</p>

<p>Whilst we've rated the tour highly (which is mainly due to the fact of the beautiful location and activities) the tour company was disorganised. Our pick up time in Seville wasn't confirmed with us, they didn't arrange our paper work with the hotel so the hotel in Granada and the hotel staff argued with us wanting payment, or confirmation of booking that was never provided to us bynthe tour company, and to top it off the tour company forgot to pick us up to take us back to Seville.</p>

<p>Firstly, we very much enjoyed the bus trip to Granada. The guide Clara was very welcoming and gave an informative commentary en route. We also enjoyed The Alhambra tour, especially the radio link to the guide so we could look around, take photos and still hear all the information. We also enjoyed the Arabic Baths (once we found them) and the walking tour on Sunday morning.<br/> However, we were very disappointed with the location of the hotel ( Hotel Real de Alhambra) - it was too far out from town, needing the bus and taxis to get around. A hotel much closer in would be better for our situation when we weren't travelling with the whole group so we could have used our spare time more efficiently.<br/> Also a guide was supposed to meet us In Plaza Santa Ana to take us to the baths a few minutes before 6:00 pm. But by 6:10 no-one had showed up. We asked a guide from another company where the baths were and we found them. However by this time it was 20 minutes late so we missed the full session.</p> <p>The pick up to come home went very smoothly.</p>

<p>Unfortunately this was not a "2 day Granada Tour" by the supplier. Instead, Viator subcontracted with local operators, and the reliability of these varied enormously. The Alhambra itself is, of course, magnificent, and the tour guide on site was fantastic. But we were required to meet different local operators who did not show up for two of the three meeting points. (We arrived 15-30 min. early) The hotel was not as advertised. Information concerning the return trip to Seville was shifted and we found the bus only by chance (we recognized the stickers a fellow traveler was wearing). Attempts to contact folks were fruitless. The Alhambra is obviously worth visiting, but doing so on this trip is a risky proposition.</p>

<p>What we saw was great and well presented. However we were very disappointed in what we did not see. We made no attempt to visit the Cathedral or the royal chapel on the afternoon of our first day of the tour as the itinerary clearly stated that we would "visit the Cathedral and the Capilla Real" during our walking tour the next morning. During the walking tour, we walked past both of them and they were pointed out. We did not go inside either. Unfortunately the walking tour ended at 1:15 and both sites were closing at 1:30 and would not let us in. They were to open again at 4:00 but we were scheduled for a train pickup at 3:45.</p> <p>This was a major disappointment as we were counting on seeing the Cathedral and the burial sites of Ferdinand and Isabella.</p> <p>John Glossinger</p>
