Fascinating! The palace, grounds and gardens are a must see! The Alhambra is so worth the trip to Grenada! Beautiful! Historical! Amazing! We had a private tour and really enjoyed it!

Wir haben eine Tour in Deutsch gebucht (Bestätigung erhalten). Dieser Termin wurde auf unseren Granada Aufenthalt abgestimmt. Leider haben wir eine Absage für den gewünschten (und bestätigten) Termin erhalten. Nur in Englisch. Nach einigem Hin und her könnten wir eine private Tour 2 Tage früher mit Rosa buchen. Nach anfänglichem Ärger müssen wir sagen es war perfekt. Die Tour ab 16:45 Uhr bei herrlichem Licht und relativ wenig Besuchern war ein Erlebnis der besonderen Art. Rosa hat sich viel Zeit genommen und uns die Alhambra und deren Geschichte nähergebracht. Sie kann perfekt deutsch. Jeder Cent hat sich gelohnt. Gerne wieder.

Our guide was very personable and demonstrated in depth knowledge of the site. We learnt a lot and enjoyed ourselves. It was worth paying for the private tour.

We had a great tour with Antonio. He was very engaging and gave us a very comprehensive and balanced history of the Alhambra. It was very cold that night but we got beautiful photos and we practically had the place to ourselves!! The tour started on time and the booking process was very easy. We booked only a few days before so had to go at night. Overall, the tour was a success and we enjoyed the visit very much.

I booked this online and then booked my hotel room. Tour company cancelled the next day but I couldn’t get a refund for the hotel. Going to the Alhambra is the only reason we are making the 5-hr trip! Advise you don’t book this tour. Book with a company where you can actually speak with someone.
