The tour was excellent, full of stories, very rich in detail. Our guide was fantastic. The only "if not" is that there isn't much time to stop and take pictures.

All the historic details shared by our guide. The time given to take photos & his respect to other guide colleagues when there are other groups in the same area with us. The tour guide was very friendly & told El Hamra history in an exciting way

I was not given details of the guide, I arrived at the meeting point 45 minutes early. And still, nobody looked for me in any way. With the help of another company we managed to find the tickets for me and Mrs. in an inn, in an informal way, and with that we were able to enter the Alhambra. About 400 meters inside I managed to find our guide Ada. The rest of the visit was excellent and with a fantastic guide. COMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS MUST BE IMPROVED, I crossed the Atlantic Ocean for a good guided tour. Manuel Sanhueza Chile

Our guide Naomi led us through the facility with a wealth of information. She was always responsive to the children taking part. An absolute plus point. She also prepared the access to the different areas through the various security checks very well. The only drawback was that we were informed in advance that we should wait at a "meeting point" opposite the kiosk of the same name, which was indicated in an email photo. We were there on time, only to be called at the start time to find out where we were. We had to come to the cash desk and the woman with the white umbrella. This was information that we had not received in advance. But apart from that, it was a great event that our grandchildren were still raving about the day after.

The Alhambra is a very impressive establishment with a special story. We had an excellent guide and you do need that to understand everything well. We did not have access to the palace, but it was still very worthwhile.
