Albaicin: Tours & Tickets

The worst part- the local company and this website have totally different pick up locations. Be very careful to go to the right place. Really enjoyed the tour of Al-Hambra. Gustavo was an amazing tour guide. He was humorous and engaging and I really enjoyed learning from him. Our tour guide on the way up/ for Albaycin was okay. Her English was a little hard to understand at times, but she was kind and sweet. I wish we hadn't booked the Albaycin. We saw cool stuff, but would have enjoyed some solo exploration more. Albaycin was fine, but not worth the money or the inability to do touring alone. Another thing, we got some free time to rest during our al-Hambra tour but the free time took place in outside of Al-Hambra. I wish we had some free time to explore al-Hambra. I wanted to see some things for longer, but that opportunity never arose. A don't regret doing this day trip at all and would recommend, but wish I could make some minor tweaks.

I’m glad that we were able to experience this walking tour. Our guide, Juana knew so much that I felt like I was in a class room. I’m glad she was our guide. It helped us understand the history of the Alhambra, since we were touring the sight the following day. Since I’m a fan of Flamenco , this tour also helped me learn more of its origin and the gypsies way of life. Juana went into full details of all she spoke of and left out no detail. Thank you.

Josh, our guide, gave a really interesting and lively tour of these two important historical areas of Granada. He took us to 'secret' places to view the Alhambra away from the tourist area which really made the tour fantastic. Josh went out of his way to ensure the tour provided everyone with exactly what they were looking for with matching explanations We really enjoyed the tour which exceeded all our expectations Thank you Josh!

I would recommend a guided tour of Alhambra to fully understand the history of the different buildings and get the most out of the visit. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered every question thoroughly. We would have preferred more time at Alhambra instead of going into Granada, but otherwise the day was very well organised. The bus journey was also very comfortable with one stop each way for refreshments.

Tour bus and guide was good. The palace grounds are huge. Be prepared to walk three hours non-stop to see the various sections and gardens. There are a lot steps to ascent and descent to see different levels of the grounds and palace sections. Save your energy to the last section where the sultan’s living quarters are. That makes it worth it. !
