Skip The Line Alhambra and Generalife Guided Tour

We traveled 2 hours to the palace and when we got there had a message saying it was cancelled due to lack of people, we still looked around the palace having walked up the hill from the advised parking place, but didn’t have the tour we were expecting so no info on the palace.

Ended up being just us and our tour guide (we came on the off season). Our tour guide Virginia was very knowledgeable, adaptable, and friendly. The Alhambra is exquisite, well worth the visit.

It's written that ticket included for Alhambra and other while it's not and that amount of money it was not worth it

Just for context, I was traveling with my 2 year old son. My two reasons for complaining are: 1) I bought 2 adult tickets the day before, and the tourist office told me that kids don’t pay to get into Alhambra so I thought I didn’t have to buy one for the baby. When we went to the meeting point the guide (that was lovely and nothing to say about her) told us that we also needed to buy a ticket for the baby (???). Went to their own store, and I was informed that needed to pay 24€ (!!!) for a ticket for my baby — after, looking at the printed ticket, the ticket was for an adult and no more than 8€. On top of that, they didn’t allow us to go on our tour and rescheduled us for the afternoon (from 10am to 3pm) with no reason at all. 2) In the description they mention the meeting point but never that you need to go up to the Alhambra walking (which is a stretch and ver inclined). I’m 8 months pregnant and would expect to see it clearly in the tour description, since that was a clear criteria to select the tour operator. The guide was really nice and sweet, and clearly new about what she was saying. However, there customer service was really bad and I don’t recommend it, specially for Families with kids.

Very well organized, the guide was very nice and patient. The audio devices are also great to make it more flexible and free

Virginia was honestly the best guide I have had in memory. I could have listened to her speak all day about the Alhambra/Nasrid dynasty/etc- she knew so much but was able to contextualize it and deliver it in an engaging way. She did an excellent job keeping us prepared/informed (they have to check tickets 3 times etc), the pace of walking and information was perfect, she gave recommendations at the end for local restaurants. 2 spots on the tour give the audio guides some trouble due to the walls around you, but we passed those areas in less than 2 minutes. Be aware this is quite a walking undertaking, so wear comfortable shoes I would definitely recommend Virginia to other travelers!

Virginia, our tour guide was amazing. She shared eat out recommendations and explained each palace history in detail at Alhambra.

Guide was amazing- would have been great to know that there was a long uphill walk at the beginning and provide a meeting point at the top accessible by bus

It was a lovely tour through La Alhambra and the guide was always speaking, telling facts about every place we went.

A very skilled and nice guide who made the history of Alhambra become alive. She was personal, friendly and took her time and adjusted to us. Really recommend her!
