“Very nice trip. Alhambra is a great place and I recomenned everyone that visits this part of Spain to visit it. No issues in finding the guide. It took bit long to gather all the people. Guide was very well prepared with additional sound equipment (really nice experience - no issues in hearing the guide). Carlos was just on point with all informations about what we were watching. Not to much speaking, which can often bother in viewing. But he explained all the aspects and history of Alhambra and Granada. Was always happy and able to answer any questions we had.”

“The e-ticket arrived a day before by email, the email had clear reminders including the exact entry time of Nasrid Palace, i had all i need to know before the visit. In the day i just went to the Alhambra complex myself and showed my passport and I am in. i would say the whole thing was quite clear and smooth, the bad reviews on this ticket did worry me a bit though. This ticket doesnt include a guide or audio guide, Alhambra is much better with a guide, or you just purchase a good audio guide online”
