So worth it! - History was so amazing! Fascinating facts of Moors, sultans, and royal families. Michelle was so knowledgeable and great at switching from English to Spanish to German languages.

Top team & top organization - Perfectly organized. Even hotel pickup was possible on request. Fantastic tour guide - clean, air-conditioned bus. The time in Granada is a bit short (assuming you want to go out for lunch). Guide in Alhambra was excellent - really recommended!! Thank you to the whole team at Julia Travel Costa.

Alhambra Palace and Gardens - Guide on the bus to go very interesting and gave lots of details along the way. The guide at the Alhambra palace and garden was excellent and professional. Time to relax and visit perfectly adequate. I recommend without restrictions except that you still need to have a good walking habit.

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.

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.

Read the fine print. - The Alhambra, tour guide, and bus driver were all great. What made the trip bad was the following: I reserved my spot on Viator and received a confirmation; they charged my credit card. To my surprise, I had to call within 48 hours before the tour to confirm that I was going, which I didn't do. When I questioned them, they said that this tour is in high demand. My reply was that I had reserved, received a confirmation, and paid with my credit card. My two seats should have been booked for me regardless, but I think they wanted to double dip. The sad thing is that when I called Viator, they washed their hands of helping me. By the way, this was my 7th trip booked through Viator. I guess they lost my business forever. Note that they also declined to apply the rewards towards the trip. Regards,

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
