Perfect mix of group tour and solo time - Amazing expérience.
Thé Al Hambra is breath-taking and Christina was a perfect spanish/french guide.
First part was also great because you could explore Granada on your own and not as a group.

Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Natalie was amazing! From pick up to drop off she kept us entertained and gave so much information not only about Granada but the areas we travelled through. The day was perfect. We had the freedom to see what we wanted to see but knew that Natalie was there if we needed. Stephen and Matt

Really a good tour! We left from... - <p>Really a good tour! We left from Torremolinos, and no one locally could get us tickets to the Alhambra Palace nor the Alhambra Gardens, thanks god this company is havind the possibility to visit the Alhambra Garden's, and we can say, the Gardens are as beautiful as the Palace... Really worth to visit, for sure seeing the prices they are asking to visit the Palace, as the gardens are the same or even better... Julia Travel did a good job for us! Thank you to our guide Paco for this great experience!</p>

April in the Alhambra - The Alhambra was lovely and definitely worth the visit. The gardens, the views, the fountains; it's worth the visit.
The bus trip was memorable as well.....it seemed like a full bus and people were not acting like adults. The guides did their best to deescalate the situation and my husband and I now have a great inside joke (you had to be there) but Julia needs to not book their tours so full or buy more comfortable buses.
It was a good trip but not a great trip.

Bad organisation , not adapting to the circumstances - Thr trip was not well organised. The time at Alhambra was 2:30.
We started from the hotel at 7:20and had to spend 3 hours in Granada on a bank holiday with all the shops closed. Fantastically boring !

Hidden fees - Alhambra was very nice and is well worth a visit, but the operator requested additional fees not included in the price.

Amazing palace, but TERRIBLE tour!! - The Alhambra in Granada is a world's wonder! Amazing architecture, art, and history. Imagine you being there in awe and then having your tour guide rushing through it! What a shame, this is not how you do a TOUR! I would understand if this is a full day tour. But is not! Your tour, excluding travel, is essentially only 2.5 hours . The rest is FREE time in the city - 3 hours! I felt duped....
I joined the tour in Malaga at 8:00 am, met by the tour guide Jean Pierre. The ride to Granada was about 1.5-2 hours. At Alhambra, we were handed off to a local guide, who guided is through the palace until around 12:30. Then we were handed back to Jean Pierre, who the led us to the cathedral in Granada..He showed is the entrance to the entrance of the cathedral. We were to tour the cathedral our self and have free time from 1-4 PM.
Jean Pierre was anything but a guide. In the bus, he just mostly read through a script. In Granada, he continuously failed to bring attention the group to follow him. He rarely spoke and kept walking very far ahead of the group. Most people were having a hard time catching up especially the elderly - he didn't seem to care of anyone in the group got lost or left behind.
The local guide, I think his name was Hani, was a bit better. But still, not a very good guide. He rushed through the tour, rarely facing the group, and basically just doing the tour via his microphone.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. GRANADA IS AWESOME, BUT USE A DIFFERENT TOUR!
