Pleasant trip to Alhambra and Albaicin - The trip lasted 12 hours from Seville to Granada with a nice Naturanda minibus in the company of the guides Alberto and Giorgia, always very helpful. In Albaicin we had time to go to the San Nicolás viewpoint and the suggested restaurant, which however I found expensive and did not satisfy me. In Alhambra we had Marina at our disposal, the local guide who was also very helpful and kind. Overall a nice trip that I would do again.

Fun day tour - Had a great day tour to Granada and the Alhambra from Seville, guided by Alberto. 😊 Learned a lot of history and unique facts to enhance the tour. It was a great day, thank you for hosting. Alberto was very kind and knowledgeable about the region.

Fantastic - The trip was wonderful! Alberto was our fantastic guide who was fully knowledgeable about the history, agriculture, infrastructure, art, literature and architecture of Andalusia leading up to and including Granada. He dove in deep about the rich and diverse heritage. While at the Alhambra, Jesus was our guide who was equally as knowledgeable about the history of the moorish monarchs of Granada and the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella. I recommend both guides for anyone considering a Granda and Alhambra tour.

Excellence and professionalism in Alhambra - I want to highlight Alberto's excellent professionalism, warmth and explanation. Without a doubt, if I returned I would ask to go with Alberto.

Great Quality Tour Guides at the Sights But... - We booked 2 day trips from Seville. One with Granada and one with Cordoba. STRENGTHS: The tour guide Alejandro for Alhambra was great! It was a quality tour with solid explanations and well led . And the tour guide lola for the cordoba mesquita was excellent. Lola is probably want of the top tour guides out there who worked well with anyone including the kids in our group. She was smart, witty, personable. Her tour is a 10/10. WEAKNESSES: Both tours were running late. The Naturanda guide for Cordova was friendly and personable but he is not a strong guide in terms of historical information. The Naturanda guide for Granada seemed to be exerting the most minimal effort and shared to the bus that she will not be providing info on the first leg of the bus ride. And when we asked her questions during the Albaycin walking tour, she seemed not to keen to answer questions or entertain the tour participants questions.

Screwed by Viator’ designated tour company for tour of Alhambra - Local tour company cheated us. We waited for guide in the area designated. At time for your no guide. Sent message to your company. They said 2 guides on their way. At 15 minutes passed your time. Sent another message saying. Guide says you are with them. I said you are required to check passports to get to the Alhambra. Was their last name Thompson? They said sorry for inconvenience. We were screwed ny the company Viator put us with and we need to get our money back. Charles Thompson I also sent earlier messages to Viator no response

Absolute worst - doesn’t even deserve one star! - Booked this tour in January through Viator, but tour company is Naturanda. In early March, we were contacted asking if our original tour at noon could be changed to 10am or 2pm - we chose 10am. Received confirmation with a ticket showing the price of 94.24 euros. Viator was supposed to charge us approximately $144USD a couple of days before the tour. Received a text showing that Viator did charge us $144+ and a link to click on for a voucher. Time showed noon. I kept checking the app and it continued to show the time of noon. The day before the tour, I sent 2 text messages asking for confirmation of the time. No one ever responded until the day of the tour and then it was at 11:41am to tell me that the tour was at 10!! Someone at the Alhambra called Naturanda and asked for an English speaking person so I could speak with them. The woman said “you chose 10:00…sorry”. I explained that everything I had received afterward still stated noon and that I had sent 2 messages the day before with no response. She told me to go to the Welcome Center…what??? They gave us 2 vouchers for about 19 euros and basically expected us to do the tour on our own. We ended up paying another guide approximately 132 euros and he gave us a personal tour that lasted even longer. I sent Naturanda a message requesting a refund but surprise…no response.
