Marela was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend her! The place is amazing and deserves a proper explanation of its history. Our guide was terrific!

The tour was exactly 3 hours long, and it was definitely worth it to have somebody bring you through and tell you the history of the Alhambra because there is so much history in that place! My tour guide, Felipe, was super knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour to people who are interested in being shown around. I did see several tourists lost as they were trying to navigate their way around the Alhambra and totally think this is worth the money to have somebody who knows the grounds with you. I would pay to do this again.

We enjoyed our tour of Alhambra with Alberto. The tour was comprehensive without wearing us out. The walking pace was perfect - we kept things moving but there was plenty of time to appreciate the sights, take photos, and get a snack. The portable audio system was great, you could hear everything but move around too.

Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. He explained things well. It is a beautiful, impressive place! However, in the description of the tour at the very top it says a maximum of 10 people. We were traveling with 10 people, so thought it would be perfect and chose English as the tour language. But when we arrived there were 8 additional people, none who spoke English. So our guide had to say everything twice, which took a lot of time and made it a bit harder to pay attention. Also, make sure you bring your passports to your tour! It was only a very small note at the bottom of the information and most of the people in our tour did not have it, and it delayed the start of our tour.

We had Antonio as our guide and he was terrific. He was informative and entertaining and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He seemed genuinely proud and interested in the history of the Alhambra and the region. Cannot recommend him highly enough as a guide. Our booking time was changed at the last minute from morning to afternoon, but the company responded immediately to all my messages and questions which I appreciated.

We had a great tour of the Alhambra--it's a can't miss experience and among the most wonderful individual sites we've ever seen. Gustavo was our tour guide and was wonderful. His English is awesome, but even more, his ability to explain the etymology and history of all the terms involved added depth to the visit. He's thoughtful and fun, and shows an obvious love for this site that is infectious.

Our guide Antonio was superb! He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided numerous statistics and interesting anecdotes. The three hours with him seemed to go by in minutes.

Gustavo was super knowledgeable and lead a great tour. We learned so much and got to see a great overview of The Alhambra and Generalife. Only negative is that we booked a small group tour (no more than 10 people) but there were actually 25 on our tour, not the experience we were expecting.

Absolutely incredible experience. Gustavo was a wonderful guide with a lot of knowledge, and the Alhambra is a must see experience.

Great experience. Fernando, our guide was exceptional. Knowledgeable, funny, and compelling in his painting a picture of life at Alhambra. Generally not “tour people”, but so happy we were a part of this one.
