5Anis was a great guide!...
Anis was a great guide! He was very friendly, and knowledgeable, and provided insightful descriptions on Alhambra, its cultural importance and historical significance, while being very efficient with his time management.
5Lovely
Our guide Ruth was absolutely lovely - charming. The tour was paced properly. Alhambra was stunning. Three hours was plenty for us.
4Very impressive site and informative tour!
The Alhambra site and tour were fantastic! When coupled with the Albaicin neighborhood walk in the afternoon, made for a long day and a lot of walking. But we enjoyed it. I feel the tour company could do better job communicating meeting points for the start of the tour(s). We had a very stressful time trying to make sure we were not going to miss the tour because we were not sure we were in the right place. Merely giving an address is NOT sufficient in such a big, crowded place!
5Excellent tour of the Alhambra and Albaicín!
Myself and a group of friends did a tour through Nhue with Hamdi Tawfiq as our guide for the day. It was an excellent experience - skipping the queues is a big benefit, and Hamdi's knowledge and enthusiasm was evident. He was always more than happy to answer questions and explain as much as he could, all done with good humour!

About Granada
Granada is an Andalusian city below the Sierra Nevada, home to the Alhambra palace complex, the Moorish Albaicín quarter and a famous tapas habit.
The Alhambra, a hilltop fortress and palace complex built by the Nasrid rulers in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, is one of Spain's most visited monuments, with carved plasterwork, courtyards and pools, and the Generalife gardens beside it. Granada fell in 1492, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and the cathedral and Royal Chapel, with the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, mark that turning point.
Top-ranked sights in Granada: Generalife Gardens, Alhambra (Alhambra de Granada), Palace of Charles V (Palacio de Carlos V).
