Incredible experience at beautiful Alhambra! Such a masterpiece to visit! We’ve got the entrances 2 months ago, and we booked a guide tour, according to the entrance hour, to see in detail all the monument! So recommendable!

I enjoyed the experience and the tour !! It was very friendly and nice the guided tour. Cristina is very nice!!!!
If seeing the Alhambra is already a wonderful experience in itself, with the guide who accompanied us, it was something exceptional. The 3 hours she accompanied us felt very short. We were lucky to be a small group, so the visit was much more enriched. The guide, her name is Noelia, has knowledge, not only of the Alhambra but of culture and history in general, that makes the experience a delight and you keep it like another Nasrid treasure.
Fantastic visit with the guide Miguel Ángel Avilés, very complete, very well documented. Magnificent exhibition supported by images and audiovisual reconstructions, extensive knowledge of botany and Arabic verses. We loved it. Highly recommended!!
Our guide, incredible, everything very well explained and with impressive kindness A place worth seeing
Guide Marian. A very pleasant visit. Great professional. Unforgettable visit. We were able to enjoy like true sultans.
Santi has given us a fun and excellent revordo. Thank you very much Santi!

Super well organized and Luis our guide was a charm and with many knowledge, we loved
Very good experience, very good guide throughout the tour of the Alhambra
Unique experience, in an incomparable environment. And with a guide Noelia,super professional, making the visit entertaining and very didactic
Maria Jesus explained everything very well, pleasant and understandable, and with touch of humor, we liked it a lot, gave us a lot of information and recommended pomegranate bars
The Mary Jesus guide was a crack. What he knows and how he conveys it is impressive. Highly recommended. He showed us everything, took pictures of us and left free time to look on our own
Excellent really. The guide knew a lot We really enjoyed it. It was a unique experience on our trip to Granada. Loas remarkable. La Alhambra.
The gardens are lovely and the guide was fantastic. But really many and many people that one lets in. And to think that we were in pre-season and that in high season there is more than twice as many people coming.
Excellent guide! Check guide schedule that fits with Nasrid Palaces, as it is with capacity and yes or yes should be at the time indicated in the entry. Our guide, Noelia, very good! Congratulations on your knowledge and your way of transmitting it!
Wonderful visit. Everything was perfect. We have visited the Alhambra without haste, with all the details in the explanations. Everything was perfect. And of course thank our guide, Noelia, who has made us the most pleasant visit and with all kinds of explanations and details. A luxury.
Magnificent visit with Daniel, the best guide without a doubt, pleasant, very polite, friendly, all the questions solved with great knowledge, a visit with the right balance of learning and at the same time with great enjoyment, highly recommended.
We loved it!! Thank you very much. Mary Jesus guided us. Great Pro, knew a lot and had great patience answering doubts. It was an entertaining tour too. We enjoy!!
Exceptional experience , our visit to the whole Alhambra was perfect, I took separately the tickets and the tour very well advised by the company meeting poing where he gave me all kinds of explanations to facilitate the experience. The tour was made by Vicky, fantastic explanations with thousands of anecdotes and some jokes that made the visit perfect and even short. Congratulations you make the visit unforgettable.
We had a great family time, enjoying the beauty of the site and the explanations of NOELIA. One enjoyed on tour.
Excellent Tour and organization. I had my doubts when purchasing it as I bought the tickets and the tour separately but the organization was excellent. Vicky our impeccable guide.
I felt cheated. With 15 days before my trip, I was looking for tickets to the Alhambra, all the official tickets were sold out (€9). I look for other ways and Tripadvisor comes up offering tickets for €18. and he bought . I receive an email confirming the purchase. I believe it. It is true that then I receive several emails indicating that I have a Guided Tour... Summary: a mistake/deception occurs, very frustrating. DO NOT BUY
The ride is dazzling! And our guide Marian was very professional and her explanations were very clear and interesting! Excellent guide and impressive tour! You definitely have to do this tour with a guide like Marian who makes all the difference in understanding the details and appreciating the history!!
