Popular History & Heritage in Generalife Gardens

We cannot rate this tour of the Alhambra highly enough. A tour coordinator was at the meeting place exactly at the time of the tour (not a minute earlier) to check us in. Our guide Jose was extremely knowledgeable, provided interesting historical information and knew the answers to all of our questions. He spoke English very clearly so you could hear well through the listening devices, repeating as needed. He also clearly knew his way around the logistics of the Alhambra, guiding us through the different ticket checkpoints quickly, and giving us the inside scoop on when to rush past crowded areas to get better to (less obvious) viewpoints. We were in a group of 7 people, which sounds like it was on the smaller side, lucky for us. We went at 8:15 am which I highly recommend because it was cool and much less crowded in the morning. The only downside was that our ticket didn't include the Alcazaba, which wasn't totally obvious in the booking. Still would recommend.

We almost missed our guided tour at the Alhambra because our information sheet from your company told us to meet at the parking lot 1 BUT the guide was at a different location and that caused a lot of stress for us! Please make sure in the future that the guides are where you tell your guests to meet them! Our guide did apologize for the inconvenience though, and we did enjoy his tour. But we thought we were going to miss this paid tour and not see the Alhambra, which is the reason why we came to Granada! So glad we finally found him near the entrance gate but that is NOT where we were told to meet!

I booked this tour, because I couldn't get tickets on my own (i.e. because tour operators buy lots of them and sell them afterwards...) In principle it is a nice tour and you see all important places within the Alhambra, but I would wish for more time to remain longer at certain places. Furthermore keep in mind that the tour is bilingual, so the guide switchs between English and Spanish. Therefore it was too pricey, but they completely know that people like me would pay overrated prices to get inside... My recommendation: try to get tickets on your own and save the money for wine and Tapas!

The guide of my tour was fantastic. Our guide was telling in Spanish and English and because of this the members of the group had enough time to see all the details of the Alhambra and to make a lot of pictures. Especially our guide was very well prepared and she knew a lot of interesting stories and background information to tell. It was never boring! I never had a better guide in any tours I experienced in my life! She really made the difference and made the tour enjoyable. She was also very interactive and involved all members of my group!

we have taken the Spanish speaker guide through Generalife and Alhambra and it was excellent. The tour has started on time and it went absolutely according to plan. The guide was local and very knowledgeable about the history and interesting details of the place and the city in general. I normally don't take guided tours. I have taken this one because there was no tickets for individuals available when I realized I needed to book Alhambra in advance, but not regrets at all. It was awesome.
