“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.”

“We had a great driver, Eduardo, who got us to Granada from Malaga safely, and put us in contact with our guide at Alhambra, Abubaker. Abubaker was a fabulous guide, who explained all of the symbols and pointed out interesting places in the Alhambra. Our driver picked us up and took us for free time and lunch in Granada, and then drove us back to Malaga. We are so glad we booked this private tour - it was one of the best we have had.”

“Booked through this website as advertised as small group tour. So was very surprised when 52 seater coach turned up, and there only appeared a couple of empty seats when we departed. El Alhambra itself is stunning though the tour itself is fast paced and we did have problems understanding the guide. Be warned on leaving the attraction there is a steep walk down to the town centre then after a couple of free hours in Granada another 20 minute walk back to the coach again at a fast pace. You have to be fit!!”

“Absolute rip-off! £300 for a 105 minute tour with absolutely no chance of seeing a sunset at the Alhambra! Do not take this tour from Malaga - you are paying most of the money for a taxi ride there and back. Pick up at 14:30, tour commences at 17:00, tour ends at 18:45 then a 1hr 30 min wait for the ride back to Malaga - the sun set just as we arrived back there! We have always been very satisfied with Get Your Guide tours in the past but this one really let us down - to be fair, the pick up and drop off timing was perfect, the…”
