Popular Culture & History in Albaicin

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.

We bought the ticket one day early online. It was easy and cheap ($12 Euro for one day, two people (one senior). When we arrived in Granada we easiliy found the nearest stop of the train. The first one was full, so we waited for the next (maybe 5 minutes) and that one had plenty of room. We first toured the whole route then got off at Alhambra. For the rest of the day we got on and off shopping or touring and then getting back on. We never waited more than 10 minutes and every train had plenty of space after that first one. Yes it's bumpy - yes it's noisy - if you want an airconditioned rubber ride then get an expensive tour. It was very convenient, the map was excellent and the drivers were polite and patient. As always, a little Spanish is very helpful.

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!

Both of our guides, the warm, upbeat, smiling young woman from Seville, Eoraida, and the sophisticated Italian guide at La Alhambra, Consuela(?), could not have been better. Clean, comfortable air-conditioned coach, perfect restaurant stops, patient, professional, knowledgable guides. Expensive tour, but good value! Lots of walking. Highly recommend. So much better quality than we expected going by other reviews.
