Beautiful, fun, informative trip for all - We are a 3 generation group including 2 teens. The tour guide was excellent and kept it interesting for all. Because of his knowledge he was able to explain the symbolism and interpret the Arabic writings. He even noticed that one teen was especially interested in photography and went out of his way to help him get the shots he was looking for. The driver from Malaga was excellent and the van was comfortable. It was an excellent day for our group.

Excellent driver and tour guide!! Amazing historical spot! - Beautiful place, great service! Eduardo ( the driver) and Antonio ( the tour guide) were polite, and knowledgeable. Eduardo is a skillful driver & Antonio clearly had a lot of experience showing the Alhambra sites. The palace and gardens are places you should not miss!!

Brilliant - Brilliant, having the luxury of a guide to ourselves allowed us to get a real insight into the Alhambra. Lara our guide had so much knowledge, from the construction to the decoration to the rulers. Simply amazing. About 3 hours walking but the pace was easy. I would have missed so much without Lara. Her knowledge was phenomenal. Jose our driver was excellent also, very pleasant, water provided on the car, door to door drop off and free time in Granada with a choice of options was great too. We loved it. Yes it's expensive but worth it. A highlight of our trip

Very nice day, start to finish - Jonathan was waiting for us when we disembarked the ship. Pleasant drive in spite of the rain. Jonathan was informative and very pleasant. We learned a lot on our drive up and back. Antonio was a private guide for the day and he was very knowledgeable and wonderful to guide us through. We felt that we had a very comprehensive tour in 2 1/2 hours. Afterwards, Jonathan recommended lunch at the Alhambra Palace hotel. We sat on the veranda overlooking Granada and had a great lunch. Excellent trip.

Fabulous tour! - 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.

Once in a lifetime - An experienced and knowledgeable guide for our tour through the Alhambra. As Australians we thought the tour was expensive, but restrictions on numbers per hour and getting to Granada does not give many options for getting into the Alhambra.

Room for improvement. - At $200+ pp and great reviews, I had high expectations for this trip. The trip was fine but definitely had room for improvement. Our driver was nice but spoke very little English and the ride to Granada and back did not include any information about the area. The time at Alhambra was nice and our guide was knowledgeable although spoke very quickly. Our driver was late to pick us up and we barely had enough time to get lunch in the city center. I think the tour should include at least 2 hours in the city to allow some time to explore after eating.
