“We don’t typically book guided tours but we are so glad we did for the Alhambra. There is so much to learn and see that we would have missed without a guide. Our tour guide, Cristian, was wonderful and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He kept our attention, shared so much information, and added interesting stories along the way. He suggested places to take good pictures and offered to take one for us at a beautiful viewpoint with the Alhambra in the back. He also suggested where to stand for brief moments of cool air for some relief on a very hot day. Highly recommend this…”

11.Alhambra &Charles Palace Guided Tour with Optional Nasrid Palaces

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,149 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $24

Explore Granada’s Alhambra complex with an English-speaking guide, choosing between a full visit with the Nasrid Palaces, Generalife, and Alcazaba or a lower-cost tour of the surrounding areas. Guides such as Carlos, Ruth, Eduardo, and Gustavo have earned praise, but check your exact ticket option and time carefully.

“The Guide was really excellent. He was knowlegable, excellent English, very personable. The office staff when I picked up the tickets were very friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a good experience. However, the price was excessive. Consider the following: *Cost of Viator guided tour 66+ € per person *less normal entry price into Alhambra 19 + € per person = margin of 47 € per person. Considering our group of 29 people had a single tour guide, 47 x 29 = 1,363 € seems an excessive margin to cover the tour guides cost, overheads and a reasonable profit. A reasonable volume discount policy would seem to be appropriate.”

“We were very disappointed with this small group tour. Being a small group tour it was very expensive and I expected a much better experience. We were a small group of about 10 people which I liked. However the negatives: 1) Rushed - the tour was extremely rushed. We could never stopped to take in the rooms/decor/view/gardens etc. Hardly had time for any pictures. We were just herded through like cattle. 2) We chose this tour as an English tour but the guide spoke in both English and Spanish. Every sentence was said in Spanish and then English so fast. Being that all he said was spliced between the two…”
