We only had 3-4 hours to spend here due to the cruise bus schedule. Having a guide really helped touing this magnificent place. Shorter lines, explaining the history, knowing where to go. Worth it!

The day prior to the tour, I got a text message confirming start time as per scheduled for 2 pm. However, when my family and I arrived at 1:45 pm, we were told that there's too many people and we were pushed back to 2:30 and despite telling them that I never got a message, the representation insisted that I had received notice. Resigned as there was nothing else I could do, I waited for 2:30 and joined the tour. The tour guide was excellent, kind and informative. However, our entrance ticket into the Nasrid Palace was at 4 pm as per the previous 2 pm tour start time It's 2 hours into a 3 hour tour, which would've been 4:30 if we had stayed with the tour which would result in possibly not being allowed in as there is only a 15 minute grace period. Thus, my family and I had to leave the tour halfway into it and do the Nasrid palace by ourselves which was not ideal considered how much we paid for the tour. I would've loved to spend more time with our tour guide as she was excellent but the logistics and the changes without notice really put a damper on the experience. In the end, this was the only way we could obtain entrance into Alhambra so my advice would be to book your tickets early so you don't have to rely on a tour group. If you do choose to go with this tour, only do so if you have a very flexible schedule to be changed at their whim.
Informative and enjoyable

Our tour guide Esther from Granada selected tours did a fantastic job bringing the history of the Alhambra in Granada to life. She didn’t just share fact, she told stories in a way that helped us visualize what life was like centuries ago, almost as if we were stepping back in time. Esther has a remarkable talent for painting pictures with her words, guiding us through the palaces and courtyards with rich detail and context that made every corner feel meaningful. Thanks to her, our visit wasn’t just informative it was memorable and immersive.

As you can see from our ticket and the subject of this feedback request we were expecting to see the Nasrid Palaces as well. Unfortunately when our voucher was checked at the tours entrance of the Palace much to our surprise the access was refused. The guard and the tour guide told us that our ticket was not valid for the palace. A big disappointment because until then we were very please with the tour. I tried to contact The Tour Guy on the number provided in the emails but could not make contact. The Voice Response Machine replied that I would be called back. This NEVER happened. Fortunately we could buy tickets from a vending machine, but only for entrance to all facilities. EUR 41,- per person. In the Palace we mistakenly we took a wrong route which led to a quick access. Hence we DID NOT SEE the Royal Chambers etc. Unless there is a misunderstanding or we made an error a refund of EUR 42, would be appreciated.
Loved the Alhambra

We had a private 3-hour tour with Esther and it was outstanding. She gave us so much helpful background, showed us all the highlights, and patiently answered our many questions. The Alahambra is vast and a guided tour like this is the only way to do it. I would recommend this to anyone!
Just awesome

The art adorning the Nasrid Palaces to the calm fountains in Generalife - the Alhamba tour was enchanting. Our guide enriched every moment.
