Travel from Malaga to Granada by comfortable coach, then explore the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, Charles V Palace, and Generalife Gardens with guides in English or Spanish. Antonio and Alejandro are among the guides praised for clear history and good pacing, though palace entry times can reshape the day.

“Even though I have visted Granada and Alhambra 10 years ago, this was revealing and fascinating experience. My sister, first time visiting, shares same feelings about Alhambra. This is to a great extent due to Jesus, our Alhambra guide, who was absolutely fascinating and inspred as this was his first visit himself. He shared information and took good care of us in many ways, for which we are most grateful (particularly so because Alhambra was crowded with visitors). We are also very grateful to Kevin, our guide to/from Granada who contributed to good atmosphere within the group. All members of which were punctual. Many thanks! To Carmen, our driver, too.”

But I was disappointed when l hear tickets being sold on the bus at the start of the day direct to Viajes Julia for just 33 euros!!! I thought buying, before hand, on the web was suppose to be cheaper?? As Viajes Julia shop was a few meters from my hotel I wished I had gone direct, so not being charged an extra 12 euros by your good-selves. Susan Shuker”

“I booked 3 tours, Sevilla, Marbella and Alhambra the last was cancelled due to operative problems and was rebooked. Sevilla and Marbella were cancelled due to unconfirmed and or operative problems. They offered me other options on different dates. They refunded the money but that was not my plan. On my opinion the touroperators for those tours are unreliable and if Viator trust on those providers I preferred to do my next tours on my own.”
