Highly recommended

Jose was a great guide and quite well informed. The guided tour was well worth it for the interesting insights into the palaces' historical context, their various visual aspects and the messages implicit in the different design and decorative motifs. Better to have a live guide that can respond to your questions as well. One footnote for the guide: the central pond in the Court of myrtles on the way to the Hall of Ambassadors may also be considered as a subtle allusion to the story of Solomon and the Princess of Saba where the latter had to walk on (what she thought was) water to reach the King.

Amazing tour

I liked the tour too much. When we arrive to the meet point, we found a lot of people. It was little unorganized at the start but later every things were changed. We were with Anna group. She was perfect. She speaks English very well. She gave a lot of info. We enjoyed the trip at night , the view was very nice.

Good way to see the Alhambra

We could not get tickets to see the Alhambra on our own, so booked this tour about one week beforehand. The guide was knowledgeable and presented well. The price was reasonable compared to other tours. The time spent was about right -- two hours. After this tour, we felt no need to get up at 6 the next morning and try to get tickets to see the rest of the Alhambra complex.
