We enjoyed it very much. The bus ride was relaxing and the guide provided a good bit of information as we rode past various areas, though we had some trouble understanding her English due to her strong Spanish accent. At Alhambra, we did not have to wait to get in. Our guide at Alhambra was fantastic and it is a beautiful and interesting place. Great trip.

A well organised tour starting very early in the morning with a hotel pickup and a long drive to Granada. the drive was enjoyable as we saw the lazy town wake up on a chilly winter morning and sights were lovely. the town of Granada is very pretty and we met our English speaking guide there. The group wasn't too small and hence we were given earphones so we could hear Rafa our guide loud and clear. It was an interesting tour. The Castle, gardens and town is beautiful. we were then given time to walk round the town and experience the tapas and other delicacies of the land. Lovely trip!

The Alhambra is a must see on your visit to Spain! Pictures usually do not do it justice. It's one of those things in life that you have to see for yourself and take in all the beauty and history. Our bus tour guide was very informative and helpful. We left out from Seville to Granada and she talked to us about the history of the towns we passed on the way. Once we got to the Alhambra, we had a different tour guide to take us around the palace and grounds. He was very informative and well educated on the history of Alhambra. Before we had our tour of Alhambra we stopped in Granada to have lunch and walk around town. We happened upon an amazing tapas restaurant called El Conde. You have to stop here for lunch if you go on this trip!

We booked our trip to Spain somewhat last minute and by the time we started looking into tickets for the Alhambra individual tickets were sold out. This led us to look into guided tour options. I think its best to review this experience in two parts

Our tour was supposed to leave at 10:15 ad it didn't happen until more than one hour later. Passengers didn't have time to see anything in Granada as the tour offers because we have to be at the gardens at some specific time

The travel agency Viajes Boreal was very slow in letting us know the meeting time in Granada. The tour was uninteresting, packed with people and in several languages. We couldn't hear anything and were exhausted at the end of the tour. If we had been able to book a private tour, we definitely would have.

The Alhambra is worth the trip. Our bus guide- the 2 hrs free in Granada was new and got lost and really didn't speak English.

Alhambra and Generalife were spectacular, and the docent was very knowledgeable. _br/_ But, because I was staying at an air b and b in Sevilla, I had to wait for the shuttle in front of a church at 5:20 am and the shuttle didn and #39;t come until ca. 5:55am._br/_ It would had been helpful if I were notified of the delay

Excellent tour. Our guide, Melissa, was delightful: informative, friendly, helpful, she could not have done more to make sure we were happy. The trip to the Cathedral was a highlight, as was the visit to the magnificent Alcazar. I enjoyed the morning part of the tour more than the afternoon, but in part that was because the river cruise was weather dependent and it rained. The visit to the Bullring Museum was quite interesting, but the sights we saw earlier on were of much greater interest to me.

This is a really good tour if you are into seeing as many sights as possible in the shortest amount of time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us history and social commentary on the site and its inhabitants over the years. However, because of tour duration limitations, there was not enough time to walk around the Generalife gardens or explore more than a few seconds at each guide talking point. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants a general overview of the Alhambra and Generalife Gardens.

My Granada/Alhambra day trip from Seville was a great day! Everything ran according to the schedule and all the logistics came off without a hitch. Our bus guide, Javier, was a great guy - spoke English, Spanish and French. He provided lots of info about the areas we drove through on the way to Grenada and was very friendly and happy to provide additional perspectives on Spanish life. My guide at the Alhambra, Angel the group was divided into 2 groups for the Alhambra tour, was also great. Super knowledgable and very professional. If you have only one day to visit the Alhambra from Seville and do not have a car, it's almost impossible to do it on your own my usual travel style. Using the tour company provided by Viator was absolutely worth the cost for the logistics we also had time on our own in Grenada before driving to the Alhambra, and having such knowledgable guides. I highly recommend them and would use the company again for other tours in other cities!

Too many stops on the bus so spent too much time on the bus. Not much information given about what we were passing during the long bus ride. Could have used the time to give comments about what we were passing and also a brief overview of the history of the area and especially of Granada. Guide at Al Alhambra never stopped talking and it was hard to ask him any questions. But we did get to see the extraordinary place and learned a lot about it and the history of the place. Some free time made it possible to get only a very slight experience of the town itself.

A great trip especially for the local tour guide for Alhambra and Generalife Gardens._br/_ walk a bit but it is worth to have a look!

Great guide and a very interesting place to visit. It was a long trip and we left very early in the morning but it was worth it.

The tour was okay. We got picked up at 5 am and made it back to Seville by 5pm. It's basically just a ride to Alhambra and downtown Granada and back. The guide at Alhambra seemed to rush us through the palace and gardens, which I didn't like. Would have preferred a little more leisurely pace. In addition, the guide wasn't that great. Her English was okay, I could understand her words, but her stories didn't make sense. She was a pretty terrible story teller, just seemed to mix up everything up and I couldn't follow. In addition, you're only provided 2 hrs in downtown Granada. They dropped us off 15 minutes from old town. We felt rushed to find a place to eat and get back for the pick-up. I don't know why they don't just drop us off in downtown. We just didn't have enough time to get to old town and view anything. They really should add an hour to the time in old town Granada to get lunch and see part of old town. I would suggest just renting a car or taking the train.
