Carlos, our guide was exceptional. His knowledge and passion really shone through. The Alhambra is busy at this time of year, but Carlos navigated us beautifully through the crowds. Carlos the Fantastic!!

Brilliant tour, really informative and a fab alternative if you can't get tickets for the palace. Carlos F was really good .
It was a hot day but our guide Carlos kept us informed and interested the whole time. Very knowledgeable. It’s such a beautiful place with a fantastic history. Highly recommended.
By accident, I selected the surroundings of Alhambra instead of the main tour, but it turned out to be a great experience. The tour was informative, and I felt comfortable throughout. Fernando, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He explained the history and significance of the area in an interesting way, making the experience enjoyable. Overall, I’m glad I joined the tour and would recommend it to others.
Our tour guide Hector is very knowledgable about the history of Alhambra. He is friendly and approachable. Hector speaks English and Spanish fluently. Definitely deserved a five star rating. Thanks Hector, Patrick UK/Philippines
Antonio was a terrific guide. He was very well informed and spent time explaining what we were seeing. There were just 4 of us , so he was able to answer any questions each of us posed. He was with us for about 3 1/2 hours. It as. Great introduction to Granada
Joined English tour but guide primarily talked in Spanish and to everyone she me along the tour. Several less patient guests left early.
Carlos F was my guide and he was fantastic! Great english and we walked at a perfect pace. Lots of good information and stayed entertained the entire time.
Very knowledgeable and a good sense of humour and was very patient with the guests.
Fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable and professional guide. Andy gave us an outstanding insight, explaining the amazing history of the area and highlighting the architecture of each period. His enthusiasm and passion was obvious and this added to the whole experience.
We did the GranavisionExcursions tour with Hector and he was amazing! I was engrossed from start to finish and the two hours flew by!
Andy was the guide and everything was great. He had a lot of knowledge about the place and conveyed it to us in a very pleasant way. Thanks for everything Andy!!!
We loved our visit to the Alhambra. Hector is a very pleasant, smiling, and fascinating guide; he knew how to immerse us in the heart of the history of this monument. We were lucky to be only 4 during this tour, which allowed us to discuss many things freely. The place is sublime, you cannot go to Granada without visiting it! We recommend it without hesitation!
Germans, pay attention! Very good German-speaking tour with Carlos. Started on time, extremely friendly. Questions were answered competently. The participants were involved, absolutely great👍
We spent a few hours that were as enjoyable as they were enriching with Hector. Not only did he provide a lot of information on topics related to the history of the Alhambra, but he also answered many questions that were sometimes far from the central theme. Moreover, he managed to do so with humor and remarkably distinguished himself by linking the French and Italian languages. In conclusion, he highlighted the harmonious intertwining of cultures to inspire the current world towards more intelligence and humanity. Well done and thank you again Hector.
Beautiful experience, eyes full of stars, great memories. We had a great guide. Thanks to Carlos!
Excursion around the Alhambra to the area that can be visited by free, the guide Sara majísima gets you deeply into the story and makes it great and super entertaining, we have loved it.
A 100% recommended experience. Fernando, our guide, was able to answer all the questions of the group. It was very interesting and enjoyable.
We really liked it and we learned a lot of interesting things. Rosa explained a lot to us and was also the ideal contact for questions.
The experience was unforgettable thanks to Hector, a competent and knowledgeable guide, able to manage two groups (one Italian and one French) impeccably. Although the need for double translation slowed down the pace of the visit a bit, he was able to keep everyone's attention high. Thank you Hector!
They sell you a route through the Alhambra with optional entrance to the Nazaries. But in small print it says on the outside of the Alhambra. It is true that something suspected, then they charge you for the headphones .. and also go and join the route in Spanish with the English which complicates the tour. Lucky guide Hector! That's wonderful but I advise you to change companies quickly so you don't have to put up with complaints Encourage Hector, you're doing great!
Unfortunately, the tour is not worth it at all. You will be shown around the grounds, which anyone can visit even without a guide or ticket. The lady who did the tour (Spanish and English) made a fair effort, but if you want to experience the ALHAMBRA, you can only discourage the tour. I wonder what the purpose of the tour is. We were late with the ticket purchase and had hoped to get an impression at least from the outside and the gardens. The 3 hours we would have walked better through Granada... But the organization itself was perfectly fine and correct. The tour should be removed from the program by the organizer.
We did the tour with Hector around the Alhambra, an exquisite treatment on his part, in addition to his recommendations that were very successful, very dynamic the whole visit, we would certainly repeat.
We were privileged to have Hector as our guide in French! Fantastic species thanks to Hector. He has a great knowledge of history and took the time to see everything and take pictures. The rhythm was perfect with lots of details and was interactive. I highly recommend visiting the Alhambra which is a must see the only thing to do in Granada.
