Alhambra great - Good all round. Good rep on bus then transferred to small group with local guide to tour around Alhambra site. Would be a mistake to try and do on your own.

Alhambra = Wow! - Excellent experience to visit an amazing site! We were worried about the timing of such a long trip & the timing to return to the cruise ship. No problem at all! The one small hiccup we had was looking for the agent holding the Viator sign on the dock. The agent was holding the sign of the organizing company, not Viator. There is a good deal of walking on uneven ground so wearing comfortable walking shoes is a must. Bringing water is also helpful. Both our bus and Alhambra guides were very knowledgeable & approachable. Great experience!

Truly amazing! - This is a wonderful excursion to a must-see place in Spain that every cruiser should find the time to visit. And with our ship docked in Malaga this was the perfect opportunity to sign up for this amazing trip. Everything was superbly organised and on time, many thanks to everyone who worked hard to make it happen. We are 100% satisfied and can wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to all cruisers looking for a memorable journey to one of the most interesting landmarks in the entire country.

Great tour. Some customers no so much. - Very nice tour. Great Tour guide. However, people with mobility issues should not do this tour. Although this is stated before reserving the tour, we had 7-8 people who could not walk without very frequent stops. They eventually had to leave the tour as they felt they could not walk further. It did slow down the rest of the group.

Worth a visit - We had two very knowledgeable and friendly guides. One was on the way to Alhambra the one was the tour guide for the Alhambra palace. Despite the far distance Viator managed the time very well and we were able to get back to the ship 45 mins before boarding time. Highly recommended.

Great tour to Alhambra but… - The tour operator was great on pickup and return to the ship on time. A good guide walked us thru the vast and amazing Alhambra in small groups (ours was 14). Deducted one point for precious time wasted. The drive was 1 hour 45 minutes. We stopped both ways in between for a 20 minute break. The drop off for free time in the city of Granada was not near the Cathedral or Royal Tomb or obvious taxi stand but by a city park. So the 50 minutes we had there only allowed for a bite to eat as our guide said there was no time to do both. Overall a better tour than cruise ship offered but with tweaks could have allowed us to appreciate the city of Granada more.
