Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accomodating. 3 hours might feel like a lot of time but it is necessary to learn the history behind the Alhambra in addition to seeing all of the main attractions within.

Visiting the Alhambra was my lifelong dream, but being tied to my company, I rarely had the opportunity to see it. But then the opportunity arose, in January, Granada's rainy and off-season... This Alhambra/Albayzin guided tour through Klook was very successful. The tour is conducted in English and consists of two separate tours: 1. Alhambra 2. Albayzin. Both guides were very enthusiastic and successfully fulfilled my dream. The Alhambra was indescribably beautiful, and the Albayzin tour will enhance that beauty.

Great 4.0

I was only notified of the meeting location change on the day of the trip, thankfully it wasn't far, and I ran all the way there. The tour guide was a local, very enthusiastic and friendly, but didn't provide headsets, so it was a bit difficult to hear the explanations along the way. The route was easy, passing by the Nicolas viewpoint and other nice viewpoints. Not too crowded, and the night view was beautiful. Just sharing this for reference.

The hotel's location is excellent. If you arrive in Granada by train or long-distance bus, you can take a bus directly to the hotel. After getting off the bus, it's only a 3-4 minute walk. Highly recommended.

Fantastic 5.0

Hotel Location: Super convenient, right in the bustling downtown area. It's 200 meters to the main cathedral and about the same distance to the bus stop for the Alhambra Palace. Eating, drinking, shopping, and sightseeing are all very close. Breakfast: The taste is okay, but all the basic types are available. And if you want to go to the Alhambra Palace early and explore for at least half a day, having breakfast included in your accommodation is really more convenient. Plus, the room rate and the price including breakfast are very affordable, highly recommended! Cleanliness: The room door is opened with a key, which shows it has a lot of history, but the overall maintenance is very good, clean, tidy, and comfortable! Even the single rooms aren't too cramped.

Truly worth a visit when in Granada. Our assigned time slot to enter the Nasrid Palace was 8:30am and we were let into Alhambra at just around 8:30am, then a scenic walk to Nasrid. Don’t forget to bring your passport or ID used to book this. Just a bit strange that they scan your passports at every area. We thought it would just be at Nasrid since not everyone pays for this but it was scanned at least 3-5 times.
