just returned from this tour. Excellent value for money and our tour guide Mike was witty, very helpful and scored full points. /we had booked at the beginning of May because we dont like the heat and it was really bad luck that there was a /spanish heatwave. It was rarely below 90C and rose to over 100 on occasions... More

The tour itself was good, but everything else having to deal with the company not so much. They didn’t bring a big enough bus to pick everyone up (they had a list of the people though so no idea how that happened) And it wasn’t just a few people left over it was an entire bus load. It was a... More

This location should have been an excellent experience.The gardens,through which all visitors enter are beautiful,well kept and full of hidden corners/secrets. The large numbers that attend make it difficult to fully appreciate the splendour of the surroundings,frustrating but understandable. The buildings are grand with views of the courtyards,gardens and of the city which are truly worth seeing. The disappointment comes... More

Amazing, something out of this world!!!! I was planning to do the tour on my own from Malaga but the tour of the palace was fully booked way in advance. So I searched for organised tours, booked the cheapest and didn't regret it. Prices from different operators ranged from €75 to 58. I chose the latter organised by http://www.malagaholidays.com/excursions/6_granada-&-la-alhambra-palace-1d.html.Everything was... More

We took the Alhambra Tour in March 2012 while on exchange of our time-share week in Costa del Sol. The bus ride from Mijas Costa was long (2.5 hours), but well worth the time and money. The palace architecture is interesting, the tiles used are spectacular even after all these centuries. We also loved the Generalife gardens. The fact that... More

Don't get me wrong, the Alhambra is impressive architecturally, but even with the audio guide it was hard to understand the place. I wish there were on-site live guides you could hire like in many places in Italy. The audio guide wasn't worth the 6 euros-skip it- and read about the site in your typical tourist guidebook. More
