“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.”

The guide did not seem to have much knowledge of the site - only the general dates and major events. I heard other guides providing a lot of interesting stories of the history of what happened there. Our guide just talked about how it was built and the main dates. I know of others who just downloaded an audio guide for…”

“Ce tour n’est pas du tout fiable! Les informations ne sont pas justes, ne sont pas données à temps. Le jour prévu ( pour un tour de 145 euro par personne) l’agence a changé l’heure de 9h pour 9h30, après pour 11.30, après pour « on ne sait pas quand, peut-être le soir ». Le guide était très aimable au téléphone, mais il n’avait pas non plus les informations de l’agence. Par conséquent, nous avons payé le déplacement à Granada, le parking pour rien et nous avons perdu 6 h à attendre pour rien”
