Full-day Skip-the-line Granada, Alhambra Palace and Albaicin tour from Seville

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The tour was very comprehensive, covering palaces and gardens. The Alhambra was very important in Spanish history and is remarkably well preserved. Not to be missed.

It was as an interesting experience. However, the guide gave too much information and hardly ever stopped talking. It gets boring after some stone with all the information given with such fast talking that one begins to quit listening.

I had asked and was promised a French speaking guide. No pre-warning given that there would be none. So on the morning of the set-off to Granada, we were told there was no French-speaking guidance, only English. Totally unacceptable.

This tour was just perfect for our family. Even though it is a 12-13 hr day from pick up to drop off, don’t forget that you are riding in a luxurious coach bus for 6.5 out of the 12 hrs approximately. The pickup was spot on time as mentioned, the coach was very comfortable with reclining seats and enough hand luggage storage at the top. They provide a breakfast stop after 1.5 hrs of travel. That was a good break. The tour itself was awesome. It’s not that the entire bus goes as one group. When you reach Granada you are broken into groups. So the groups are much smaller and a guide is assigned. Our guide, Fernando, was very knowledgeable and was wiling to answer any number of questions. He gave enough time to get some quick pictures but still kept the group together. Even though we enjoyed this tour I would caution that this tour is not for the faint of heart. We logged 4.5 miles in this tour. It’s a lot of walking, which we were ok doing. I only wish that some of the logistical details are published before hand by the tour operator. That was not clear before booking. No where does it state that 6 hours is just travel time. We, as a family of 4, throughly enjoyed this tour and would do it again.

Pickup was prompt at 6:15 am, and all the logistics of the tour went smoothly. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and friendly. My only complaint was the tour at the Alhambra, which felt like a 4 mile death march in the heat, with no opportunity to stop to take photos and enjoy this incredibly historic site. Please note that this tour was run by the Alhambra, not this tour company. If I had it to do over, I would structure my trip differently to visit the Alhambra on my own at my own pace. We went to the Albaicin neighborhood for a late lunch. My husband went on the short walking tour while I stayed behind to do a little shopping. I should have realized all the shops would be closed at 4 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. I sat in the square and met some eccentric and colorful local characters who seem to sleep on the park benches in Albacin. Our trip back to Sevilla was uneventful, and people mostly slept. I really appreciated the bathroom/coffee break to and from Granada. My verdict: If this is your only chance to visit the Alhambra, do it--but expect a long and exhausting day. It's not for anyone with mobility issues.

Fabulous tour of the Alhambra and Albaicin village. It was really well-organised, and the guide on the bus was bilingual. Athough it was a long day and an early start, it was very comfortable in the bus, and we had the opportunity to stop for a simple breakfast along the way. Once at Alhambra, we were allocated to with a guide who led us through the palaces and gardens… Gustav was very knowledgeable and well-spoken, and tailored his commentary to the audience, which made it even more interesting for the group. Lunch was in Albaicin, followed by a short walk through the village. A long day, but well worth the trip, as it’s such a special place to visit.

Enjoying the history of the Alhambra, having “ Antonio “ as our guide made it seem like we lived through the history!!! Excellent pickup instructions, easy drop off, the company gave us plenty of time for breakfast in the morning and after the tour was done time for quick stop before our long trip back to our hotel’s .

The tour was well planned and well organized. The guide at Alhambra was very knowledgeable and well spoken. The bus however didn’t have drinking water as included in the package and the bus we returned on didn’t have good air conditioning. I would still recommend it

The tour guid was never been in Granada and we wasted lots of time. We did not see the city , and it was included in the tour .
