An Absolute Must - Wow, this was a well organized and terrific tour. Our initial guide on the bus Debbie was full of interesting facts about the region. Once at Alhambra, we went with marvelous Margherita. She was also incredibly knowledgeable.

Enjoyable tour of the Alhmambra and Granada - Very knowledgeable guides, on the bus and at the Alhambra. Gave alot of info on the drive to Granada on the history of the area and alot of history at the Alhambra. The tour was very well organized. Also given an hour to roam around in town after the Ahambra to enjoy lunch. The only suggestion I would give is to go over the history on the drive back to Malaga instead of the drive up to Granada since the tour left so early in the morning.

Amazing Experience - When we booked this excursion we did little research on the actual Alhambra. More on the actual city. We did not spend any time in Granada, the whole time was spent in the Alhambra Palace and gardens. Let me just say we were blown away with everything we saw! A must do.
This is the second tour we have taken with this particular tour company and they are professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. Noella provided so much history and information we were really taken aback. The tour ran smoothly.

Seamless, well-run experience - I can’t say enough about our tour. It was so stress-free. The guides were waiting for us with buses immediately outside of the ship terminal. We started promptly on time. The bus was comfortable. The guide provided us with an interesting running commentary. We appreciated the comfort stop. The guide at the Alhambra was waiting for us and immediately took us inside. He was excellent. We returned to the boat in plenty of time. The Alhambra was amazing and overwhelming. PLUS, the tour was about half the price of the ships same shore excursion.

This company is the BEST! - I can’t say enough about this company. Our ship docked five hours late and they still took us to Granada and back for the best experience in Spain. The Alhambra is indescribably beautiful and our guide Noalle gave us so much information and kept everything on time. The tour director Debby met us at the door of the harbor and got us back safely. We had had some bad weather the previous couple of days and this company saved the trip for us. Just so thankful they didn’t cancel

Alhambra - Was a great tour. Was the one port stop hubby planned. It didn't disappoint. We would have loved to have had time in Granada but we took the tour for Alhambra. After having seen the Royal Alcazar of Seville, we definitely wanted to see the other castle of Isabelle and Ferdinand. Alhambra is a site to see. The gardens, the fortress itself and the palace that Charles V didn't finish. Totally recommend this tour. Great way to see Alhambra.

Good excursion but tour guide didn't find our booking info - The guide in Alhambra was very knowledgeable, and the walking tour was not rush, nicely paced, she took times to wait for those who walked slow.
Another guide who took us to Alhambra was quite good too..
The only hiccup happened to us was that our names were not on the booked passengers' list, we had to show the guy our booking confirmation and messages that we should board on bus number one.

4 stars, with better organizing on front end, could have been 5 stars. - We spent 3 full hours touring the Alhambra and our guide was Marga (Margarita). She was knowledgeable, passionate, and funny. She wasn’t the main tour leader who was Debbie. Debbie picked us up at the port and escorted us for everything but the Alhambra (the driving and the 1.5 hours in Granada. To be more accurate, she did not guide us in Granada-we were given free time to explore which was better for us. But if we wanted to stick with Debbie we could have. I definitely recommend this tour!
So why four stars instead of five? I’m a believer in communication and there was very little communication telling us who to look for when we got off the ship. This caused other tour members to straggle in. Whereas we were told to show up at 7:15 am, others weren’t and consequently we waited until about 8:15 to depart. I believe this was the fault of the tour organizers (not Debbie). Also, I do not believe you should advertise that the tour maximum will be 18 people and then have a bus with close to 40. If the number had gone up, communicate that change, it is the honest thing to do.
But Debbie, Marga, and The Alhambra were great!

A must see - This was a lifetime dream come true for me. I have always enjoyed reading about the history of the Alhambra and was not disappointed. We had a great guide and were lucky to not have major crowds.
