I was really happy with the tour. We saw everything and, although the pace was quite intense, it was very well managed. Andrea was our guide and she was wonderful: with her, three hours felt like ten minutes. Her Italian is better than that of some native speakers, she’s funny and, above all, she knows how to keep you engaged and make you genuinely interested in what you’re seeing. You can tell how much she loves both her job and what she’s showing you, and that enthusiasm is contagious.Super soddisfatta del tour. Abbiamo visto tutto e con ritmi impegnativi ma adeguati. Andrea è stata la nostra guida ed è stata meravigliosa: con lei tre ore son sembrate 10 minuti. Parla italiano meglio di alcuni nativi, è divertente e sopratutto riesce a mantenerti alta l’attenzione e a farti appassionare di ciò che vedi. Si vede che ama tantissimo sia il suo lavoro che ciò che ti mostra, e te ne fa innamorare pure a te.

What travellers love most
Our guide was very experienced and made everything really interesting. The time flew by, even though we spent 3.5 hours walking around in 44°C heat. She answered every question with great knowledge and kept the tour at a very comfortable pace. She adapted really well to the needs of the group, was incredibly friendly and attentive, and even took the time to take photos of us. Highly recommended!Unser Guide war sehr erfahren, hat sehr interesant erzählt und die Zeit verging wie im Fluge, obwohl wir 3,5 Stunden bei 44 °C unterwegs waren. Sie konnte auf alle Fragen sehr kompetent eingehen. Es war ein sehr angenehmes Tempo, sie ist großartig auf die Bedürfnisse der Gruppe eingegangen, war super freundlich und zugewandt und hat sich auch Zeit genommen, Fotos von uns zu machen. Volle Empfehlung!
Luis was an exceptional guide. Everything was explained very clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. I’d happily do the tour again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Luis fue un guia excepcional, todo explicado con muchisima claridad y de forma muy facil de entender, lo haria otra vez encantado, RECOMENDADISIMO.
The tour was well organized and Georgie, the guide was excellent. She gave a thorough explanation of each area visited. She also answered our questions and helped take photos. It was a comprehensive look at the Alambra but unfortunately, due to a recent earthquake the tour was shortened. This actually gave us a 30 minute break which was needed. There are several drinking fountains inside the Alambra and there is also a place to purchase drinks midway. The overall cost was quite high but it appears that many tourist attractions have increased their prices especially for foreign tourists while keeping entry fees to zero or reduced for locals. It is a must see to tick off your bucket list. There is a parking area that costs about 3 euros per hour but public transport (payable with credit card) is a couple of euros each way if you are near a bus line.
A wonderful experience at the Alhambra thanks to our excellent guide, Diego. Very professional, passionate and attentive, he helped us discover the history and secrets of this incredible place with great clarity and enthusiasm. A truly enriching and enjoyable visit. Thank you for such a wonderful experience — highly recommended!Une magnifique expérience à l’Alhambra grâce à notre excellent guide Diego .Très professionnel, passionné et à l’écoute, il nous a fait découvrir l’histoire et les secrets de ce lieu exceptionnel avec beaucoup de clarté et d’enthousiasme. Une visite vraiment enrichissante et agréable. Merci pour ce merveilleux moment, je recommande vivement !
Taking a tour and having a guide is the best way of getting the most from the amazing UNESCO site. Our guide Claudia pointed out things we would have definately missed and narrated the historical journey of the complex medieval site in an interesting, informative, factual and engaging way. The tour, thiugh 3 hours was well paced with short breaks to take photos and rest between individual sites within the 24 acres. Value for money.
