“Tour was advertised as English speaking but was changed to English and German. Tour guide was rude and upset that group members were taking too many pictures instead of listening to him, but much of the tour was in German. This tour was quite expensive at $100/person and we didn't get our money's worth. This was our first negative experience with Viator.”

He was attentive to our needs and interests. We spent about 3 hours going through the entire Alhambra grounds and buildings. While it was crowded, we managed to see much more than if on our own. And some hidden treasures not all may be aware of. Absolutely recommend this tour - especially if you are lucky enough to get Aiser as your guide.”
