“The guide was very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the history of the Alhambra. He told us things that we wouldn’t have known and I’m glad I decided on a guided tour rather than going on my own. All forms or questions were welcome and he made it very interactive. He also gave us plenty of time to take pictures and recommended good photo locations. I highly recommend this tour.”

“It was a beautiful place and the parking was easy and nearby. No queue for entry was great too. I didn’t like having to take my passport. It was absolutely necessary to get around the place, but for security I don’t like carrying it around and a ticket system on its own would be much better.”

“Spent an amazing day at Alhambra - so much to see! The audio guide was really helpful and informative - though we recommend to sit and read and absorb all the information before you see/enter that section to fully appreciate it. We didn’t realise entrance to the Nasrid Palaces was at a set given time. Our time was very late in the day but we were able to go out and have a meal in a restaurant before going back in. It would be helpful to know in advance what your time slot is - even better to pick your own time,”

They state they only allow 8k people inside the palace per day it felt like must people were there at the same time very very crowded”
