I have seen the Alhambra!! - Just felt in awe to be a part of history! Be sure to bring your passport for proof of entry. Address wasn’t enough to locate the tour bus. Stood in front of the building in the dark and couldn’t find our coach! But all was good once onboard

Good tour - We had 2 drivers and 2 guides. One guide was Alhambra only. All were professional and knowledgeable. Everything was on time. We had 2 crazies on the tour and the leader handed them very professionally. Everything on the description and what is included/ what to expect was done. The descriptions and what to expect are accurate and detailed enough to give you a good idea of the tour. I'm glad I took the tour.

Alhambra is a must see - As someone who lives in Malaga my whole life, I must admit that Granada is by far better city to live in so I reccomend this tour for everyone. Granada is full off young people.

Ok tour - Visiting the Alhambra is amazing! Well organized! Granada is a big city, exploring on your own is not easy to navigate especially on a time constraint! You easily can get lost with the narrow streets that look alike! That’s the part of the tour that I dislike ! Overall, it’s ok!

Whistle stop Alhambra tour! - This is an amazing place to visit and so glad we did. The guide at the Alhambra was very informative and engaging. However the time at the palace felt rushed and you need much more than 2 and half hours to do it justice. I would have preferred less than 4hrs in Granada and more time at the actual attraction.

Alhambra visit - The bus was late, and when we called Julia Travel, after some good minutes for finding someone speaking in English, a nervous lady told me there there are another 20 people waiting for the same bus, so why do I fuss about. As if the information that we are not the only ones left to wait in the street should have been enough. The guide was bossy, when he spoke, no one else was aloud to murmur:-), but well prepared for the trip. The local guide in Alhambra was a real pleasure! passionate about the topic, a lot of interesting information, an attentive approach toward us, so congrats!

Disappointed - Didn’t go as was told by tour guide at pickup point I wouldn’t get in without ID. I had been to Gibraltar so took my passport but didn’t expect to require ID within in Spain

Terrible raining day! - We were scheduled to go the day of the Sahara sand storm and pouring rain. We were cautioned to not be outside during these conditions due to poor air quality. I tried to cancel but was told no! I can't subject myself to unhealthy conditions and the tour should have been canceled.

Disappointing - avoid this trip - Delayed pickups due to people not being ready. Set off from Calahonda at 6.45 - due for pick up at 6.25. many pick-up and delays before got on journey. Unclear regards the schedule for the day. On arrival at Grenada unclear whether we had a guided tour of town or not! Guide raced us up to centre of town and left us! My friend had reduced mobility and no accommodation allowed for this so lost guide.similar issues when at Alhambra. Not suitable for reduced mobility - this should have been advised in advance. Tour guide and driver rude to us on return to coach as they were ready to leave. We arrived at pre arranged time. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE GO ON A JULIA TOUR. TERRIBLE AND OVER PRICED.
