This was the best tour I've ever been on. Our guide, Sergio was exceptional. His knowledge of the Alhambra was incredible. He was able to field all questions and kept up enthralled. There is allot of walking and the ground is uneven. I'm 69 but had no trouble, I do have a trainer and was averaging 20,000 steps a day on fit bit. There are plenty of places to get out of the sun and water for purchase at the gift shop but I took my own bottle._br/_ After the Alhambra we did the Granada Hammam. Couldn't believe what a fabulous experience that was. Decor much like the Alhambra with replicated tiles. There are several pools of varying degrees, a hot sauna and then a 15 minute massage, where Javiar rubbed me with pomegranate oil. Wish the massage was longer but for 19 what can your expect. I'd recommend to everyone visiting the Alhambra. The ice pool was very healing to our feet. They also had lovely warm tea as you relaxed.

Collected from our beautiful hotel and taken to this amazing Alhambra, high in the Sierra Navada mountains. Beautiful, spacious gardens, magnificent views and a passionate knowledgable guide transporting us through history. _br/_ The Grand Hannam was fantastic; historical, destressing and a must see.

Our tour gave the Ahambra the justice it deserves as a cultural, historical jewel! She was able to impart her encyclopedic knowledge to transport us to a time when this palace was full of life and guided us through it's transformation overtime, thank you!

The guide was well versed in history and multiple languages. The Alhambra is an amazing place and Granada is a beautiful special city. My favorite in all of Spain and we have been to Barcelona,Cordoba,Malaga and Majorca...

All in all, a fantastic tour with a funny, knowledgeable guide named Gustavo. The weather was very hot, but he managed to lead us around in the shade as much as possible.

Alhambra is an amazing site. Anyone that visits Granada should have the Alhambra on their list to see. On a negative note, our tour guide seemed annoyed to be there and even more annoyed when anyone asked any questions. Also, we missed the second half of our tour the baths because no directions were given to meet and/or be transported to the baths.

In the end, I think I would have just preferred the Alhambra tour. The guide was excellent, and I enjoyed listening to the tour in both English and Spanish. The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens are, of course, incredible. Walking with a guide maximized the most of every moment with a chance to hear the history while walking from one part of the site to another. The break between the Alhambra bit and the Hammam, for me, was quite long--I had plenty of time to explore more after the guided tour ended. The Hammam, though, was not a win for me. I thought it would be different from what it was. I didn't have the right clothes to make it work, and, in the end, I just ghosted without actually taking my turn in the Hammam. But, if you do like Hammam and it would be especially nice in colder weather!, the combination of both parts fills the day nicely, but still leaves plenty of time in between to do other things as well.

This tour was mis represented to us. We were told it was an 8 hour tour at 135 sounded expensive but for 8 hours we thought it was okay. We asked the operator about lunch and she said it was not included but the tour guide would probably take us somewhere to have lunch. It was just under a 3 hour tour of the Alhambra until 1 pm the we were supposed to wait until 6 pm for our Arab bath experience. This would have been a 2.5 hour drive back to Ronda at 7.39 pm in the dark having left at 6 am to get to Granada. We were expecting a lot more than being left to our own devices in Granada for 5 hours. We did manage to negotiate with the bath house to change it to a 4 pm booking so at least we were heading back at 6.30. The operator was ill informed about what was involved in the tour and she probably did not lie but somehow interpreted the tour as 8 hours. We felt mis led and I am now very hesitant to use viator again as you obviously outsource everything and are not well informed on what you are selling.

The whole day start to finish was fantastic. Our Guide was phenomenal. The only issue that could have been improved upon was instructions for the Baths.
Review by: glenboniface, July 2016
Fantastic to be there before the crowds, it gives the place a different feel and enables you to experience the tranquility and holiness of the place. Enjoyed seeing the inside of the church. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and cheerful. An unexpected bonus for us was all the information proved on the sights of Barcellona as we left.

Great tour!
Review by: Harriette B, July 2016
The staff were very helpful and obliging. Our guide Fernando was excellent, both in his presentation of the information and his personal observations. Given the number of people walking through Alhambra, Fernando made sure we all had an opportunity to see the best on offer. A visit to hammam a must!

We had a delayed flight and had to miss our scheduled time for the tour. They were accommodating and able to get us into a later tour. We enjoyed the visit to the Alhambra, but our guide was a little monotone. We didn't get any instructions for how to arrive at the Granada Hammam, but once we called, they cleared that up. The Hammam was wonderful, especially after a hot day touring the Alhambra... wish we had booked massages. Next time we'll do that.
