Alhambra place, including the gardens and palaces are amazing. Well worth the visit, coming from Sevilla.
Our tour was punctual with no delays.
Juan was a great guide.

We really enjoyed the tour - Andy was super knowledgeable and spoke at least 3 languages. He clearly had a friendly relationship with staff at the Alhambra. The ride was long - about 3 hours - but comfortable & included sensible pit stops. The group was very accommodating about pickup and drop off to fit the tour into people’s various travel plan. There were about 12 of us, not too big. This is a beautiful site and well worth the visit.

Probably the most important thing to be wary of is fake postings - our first booking canceled on us last minute due to a “glitch,” which had us scrambling. THIS tour was absolutely lovely!! But its best feature was that it was real.

The tour of the Alhambra and Generalife Gardens was phenomenal. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and conducted the tour in English and Spanish.

The transportation was mediocre at best. They pick you up from a nearby hotel, and the guide sleeps the majority of the ride. We stopped about half way for a bathroom break and to grab a quick breakfast/snack. There isn’t much to see along the way. We were provided about an hour to “explore” Granada - the guide provided a map, but no recommendations.

We had paid for an English speaking guide but our guide did not accompany us for the trip. At Seville we were conjoined with a bilingual English Spanish guide. She did a good job but the large size of the group and the need to repeat everything twice , once in English and then in Spanish made ipur experience bad.

The Alhambra and Generalife Garden were spectacular and our guide was excellent- Rafael. He knew the history of the site and related it in an engaging manner. He made the trip worthwhile.

The first part of the trip left much to be desired. There was little communication on our way to Granada. The bus driver dropped us off with maps and a designated time to return. There were no directions about where to go, find sites, etc. We found things on our own but some guidance would have make it more enjoyable. There was no information about Granada’s history given. We could have skipped Granada in the end.

The bus ride was long but comfortable. We had appropriate rest stops. Pick up and drop off was fine.

My pick up time for the tip was 5:20am. It took 10 minutes walk from our hotel to the point. Bus trip took about 3 hours including bathroom rest at a rest stop where you can have breakfast. Alhambra tour started around 9:30am and ended around 12:30pm or so. Tour itself was very informative. You walk a lot, so prepare comfortable walking shoes. After the Alhambra tour we went to Granada city center where you can see more sightseeing attractions if you want, but most of the people ended up eating lunch and there's not much time left for sightseeing because you only have 1 hour or so before going back to Seville. Bus arrive back to Seville around 6:00pm.

We booked this tour months ago from Australia and it was confirmed but 2 days before the Tour it was cancelled. We were offered to go the next day which we had no choice but to accept even though we had another 12 hour day tour the next day as well so no break in between. We were last to be picked up and the tour guide told us there were 4 seats at the back which their were, bench seats with no recliner and no adequate air-conditioner vents. We assumed these were all that were available and we proceeded on the 31/2 hour drive to Granada. Halfway there we were told we had to pay an extra 30 euros if we wanted to be included in the walk through the Jewish Quarter which was a surprise to us. The tour guide informed us as we were leaving to come back that we could have the 2 seats she had been using as there was a single seat for her near the driver. Hello, ae we second grade customers or what? However, the Alhambra Palace is awesome but we feel let down in the way were treated. A tip, avoid this Tour in the height of summer if you can, it is a gruelling day in summer, not only the 7 hours of driving but the hours spent out in the heat.

There were no issues for this tour. The negatives simply outweighed the positives. Our guide for our drive acted like she didn't want to be with us at all and was not prepared for the trip. She was nice but spent most of the drive there and back conversing with the drive in Spanish. The guide at the Alhambra rushed us through the Alhambra, leaving no time for pictures or exploration. The history that was shared is nothing special or unique - everything is readily available online. One thing to know - the Alhambra is not particularly spectacular. It was bombed to pieces and what's left now is slowly being restored, just not to its full glory. Also, there are many photos of the Alhambra that are online that we didn't get to see on our tour... I'm thinking we didn't get close to the full experience of this place. Choose a different tour... this one is not worth the price.

We enjoyed it very much. The bus ride was relaxing and the guide provided a good bit of information as we rode past various areas, though we had some trouble understanding her English due to her strong Spanish accent. At Alhambra, we did not have to wait to get in. Our guide at Alhambra was fantastic and it is a beautiful and interesting place. Great trip.

A well organised tour starting very early in the morning with a hotel pickup and a long drive to Granada. the drive was enjoyable as we saw the lazy town wake up on a chilly winter morning and sights were lovely. the town of Granada is very pretty and we met our English speaking guide there. The group wasn't too small and hence we were given earphones so we could hear Rafa our guide loud and clear. It was an interesting tour. The Castle, gardens and town is beautiful. we were then given time to walk round the town and experience the tapas and other delicacies of the land. Lovely trip!
