This was a lifetime dream come true for me. I have always enjoyed reading about the history of the Alhambra and was not disappointed. We had a great guide and were lucky to not have major crowds.

When we booked this excursion we did little research on the actual Alhambra. More on the actual city. We did not spend any time in Granada, the whole time was spent in the Alhambra Palace and gardens. Let me just say we were blown away with everything we saw! A must do. This is the second tour we have taken with this particular tour company and they are professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. Noella provided so much history and information we were really taken aback. The tour ran smoothly.

I can’t say enough about our tour. It was so stress-free. The guides were waiting for us with buses immediately outside of the ship terminal. We started promptly on time. The bus was comfortable. The guide provided us with an interesting running commentary. We appreciated the comfort stop. The guide at the Alhambra was waiting for us and immediately took us inside. He was excellent. We returned to the boat in plenty of time. The Alhambra was amazing and overwhelming. PLUS, the tour was about half the price of the ships same shore excursion.

I can’t say enough about this company. Our ship docked five hours late and they still took us to Granada and back for the best experience in Spain. The Alhambra is indescribably beautiful and our guide Noalle gave us so much information and kept everything on time. The tour director Debby met us at the door of the harbor and got us back safely. We had had some bad weather the previous couple of days and this company saved the trip for us. Just so thankful they didn’t cancel

Was a great tour. Was the one port stop hubby planned. It didn't disappoint. We would have loved to have had time in Granada but we took the tour for Alhambra. After having seen the Royal Alcazar of Seville, we definitely wanted to see the other castle of Isabelle and Ferdinand. Alhambra is a site to see. The gardens, the fortress itself and the palace that Charles V didn't finish. Totally recommend this tour. Great way to see Alhambra.

The guide in Alhambra was very knowledgeable, and the walking tour was not rush, nicely paced, she took times to wait for those who walked slow. Another guide who took us to Alhambra was quite good too.. The only hiccup happened to us was that our names were not on the booked passengers' list, we had to show the guy our booking confirmation and messages that we should board on bus number one.

We took Spain Day Tours excursion from Malaga to Granada to experience the UNESCO world heritage site Alhambra. We were greeted by an escort at the cruise port, and then transported via coach bus to Granada. The escort was very thorough, explaining things along the way, and what would happen once we got to Granada. When we reached Granada, we were divided into small groups of 14 and each group had their own local guide. For the next 2 1/2 to 3 hours, we toured the Alhambra and the gardens and were given the entire history. They are right when they say that this place should not be missed. We were given free time in Granada to do as we wished before returning to the bus. It was a full day excursion, and we were back at the ship about an hour and a half before departure. The escort, guide, and driver were outstanding! Needless to say this was a fantastic excursion, that was very well organized. I would not hesitate to use Spain Day Tours again.

My husband and I were very pleased with the tour to Granada as well as the one to Seville. The drivers were excellent as were the bus and onsite tour guides. I have a lung problem which prevents me from comfortably walking uphill for more than a very short period of time. I notified your company's guides and they made sure that I was directed to a rest area when I needed to stop. The overall experience with Spain Day Tours was magnificent, especially considering the reasonable price.

We joined Malaga Day Tours for its tour from Malaga to Ronda and the White Village of Mijas. Their team was prompt, as promised, waiting for us as we exited security from the port terminal. The bus was in great condition and we greatly appreciated the clean, easy viewing windows. We found our guide, Enrique, to be very good, clear and concise. He provided us with the necessary background and directions at each visit, and he and the driver were always there waiting for us, as promised. We found Ronda to be unique and amazing. The visit to Ronda alone was worth the price of the tour. We also enjoyed Mijas, which is a white-washed town on a hill overlooking Andalusia. We returned to the ship exactly as planned. Overall, a great outing.

Our cruise did not offer Alhambra as a shore excursion and this was a must see. We found Spain day tours who did all the work - picked us up from the boat, got tickets and gave us the tour. We just enjoyed. Thank you for making them easy and enjoyable. We would book again and recommend to friends.
