About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 700jitkar0 contributionsBE CAREFUL! THEY ARE NOT OFFICAL AND MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE!!!Be carefull abou this company. They are thieves. On google they pretend to be official sellers for the monuments. Well they are not, and only charge you twice as price for half of Tthe experience. I am very dissapointed :/Written September 14, 2024
- robincC9555QY0 contributionsDon’t use this companyThis company passes itself off as the “official” Alhambra website for tickets. It is not, and it charges more than twice as much for the tickets. After our self-guided tour (we actually gave up trying to use their clunky audio guides and downloaded the free one on our phones once inside the gates), I challenged the person at their desk when we returned our audio guides to get our 100€ security deposit back. She said that the Alhambra ticket office runs out of tickets and that Top Tour has tickets to sell. What she didn’t add to her explanation was “at whatever price they want”! While the site is certainly worth seeing, we came away feeling deceived and “taken”. I also question the role of the actual official site in this passing off and deception engaged in by tour operators such as Top Tour.Written September 13, 2024
- SoloTraveler5110 contributionsAlhambra Complete Tour: AMAZING!!!This was the light of my stay in Granada. The tour was well-organized and the guide was very friendly and knowledgable. She spent plenty of time explaining the places and provided historical facts. I enjoyed meeting the other travelers as the group was small and manageable. The guide provided a lot of free time to take pictures as well as bathroom breaks. I highly recommend using a local tour guide (like in this case) because they will give you extensive information as well as other recommendations (i.e., restaurants, flamenco shows, other tours). Great tour and the guide was so committed and very proud of being from Granada (or Grana....).Written August 27, 2024
- 834catherinem0 contributionsGreat guide, doesn’t include Nasrid PalacesAs other people have said, it is very easy to be fooled into thinking this is the ‘official’ Alhambra website. It’s not, although this companies website came up when I googled official Alhambra tickets. As others have said I didn’t realise it was with my top tours until I got an email from them. It’s much more expensive than the official website and doesn’t include tickets to the Nasrid palaces. The meeting point was also confusing- the tickets said to meet at a restaurant, the email said to meet at the tour office. Having made those negative points, we really enjoyed our visit- our guide was excellent ( the company offered us a free upgrade from audio guide to actual guide) and I’m really pleased we went on a tour as the whole place is massive and we got a lot more out of a guided tour than I think we would have done otherwise. We had little earphones so we could hear everything that was said. We parked really easily at Alhambra ( arrived at 10am) and it cost 12 euros (we left at 4pm). As long as you are fully aware this company charges more that the real official Alhambra tickets 45 euros as opposed to 10, given it doesn’t include Nasrid Palaces, then I would recommend the quality of the guide.Written August 21, 2024
- 776ludmillaj0 contributionsPoor experience, not recommendedThe meeting point is confusing. The address given is not where you should go. Long waiting line to confirm the booking and the information given online. All the visitors were confused, and we started the visit more than 30 minutes later than what was indicated. The guide spoke very fast. Overall a poor experience.Written August 12, 2024
- pierregC6710DO0 contributionsScammers and no refundsThese guys are indeed scam artists. They pretend to be the official Alhambra site and charge two to three times the entrance fees. Shop elsewhere!Written August 9, 2024
- 157ryanw0 contributionsDespicable scam artistsThis is a shady SCAM company. It pretends to be the official Alhambra website but it is not. They charge at least double what the actual Alhambra company charge. Also, when I initially booked tickets before my trip in 1 week time, the booking system glitched and booked the tickets for the very next day. I emailed the company immediately to report that I'm not even in the country yet and they haven't actually booked the tickets with Alhambra yet so there's still time to resolve THEIR glitch issues with ticket purchase. the numerous emails and issue was completely ignored. This DESPICABLE company ignored my emails and then proceeded to book the tickets with Alhambra website anyway. I asked them for refund and they say they can't because Alhambra don't allow refund. I later found this out to be a complete LIE because I emailed Alhambra directly and asked them. They said its fine to refund if mistake was made at booking. I tested this theory and bought the cheapest tickets they had. I requested a refund and within 12 hours they responded and refunded me. This JOKE of a company asked me to prove that Alhambra refunded me, so I provided screen shots of my refund interaction and proof that I was refunded by Alhambra. However, it didn't matter to these CROOKS. Even though I provided clear evidence that they are lying and refund is possible. These SCUMBAGS responded with, "no you didn't get a refund, Alhambra doesn't do refunds so we can't do refund" I hope this group of PREDATORS get what's coming to them in life. They are the worst type of humans that scalp tickets, overcharge and lie. They provide absolutely nothing and steal money.Written July 29, 2024
- valeria k0 contributionsAlhambra Tour with private guideGabriela was a wonderful guide, explain every detail of the visit, from the Alhambra, the palaces, medina till the fortress. Totally worth te experience!Written July 22, 2024
- Helen S0 contributionsAvoid: They charge more than double face value for tickets!We booked tickets with this company via their website which has been deliberately set up to make people believe it is the official website of the Mesquita in Cordova. Tickets should have been 13 euros but instead we were charged 30 euros per person. Avoid at all costs.Written July 13, 2024
- JulieB7110 contributionsFine but I would not recommendThe tour guide Leticia was nice but it could have been better. We had a disabled person in the tour and I felt like she was calling the “person with wheelchair”. I guess, it could have been better if she called him by his name. More personal and kind. The tour itself was fine but too hot during this time of the year. I also noticed that she is more partial to kids, maybe she could be a tour guide for the kids instead. When other tourists are asking, I don’t think she answers them correctly. Some of the things she say are exaggerated. I don’t know which ones are correct and which ones are made up, things that she thinks are funny.Written July 10, 2024
- tiffanysX6926BQ0 contributionsCompany website tricked us into purchasing overpriced tickets with no refund optionThis company does a great job tricking people into purchasing tickets that look like they are the official Alhambra website. I went online and searched for the Alhambra to purchase tickets at the Alhambra site. I thought I was at the official Alhambra website but I was, unfortunately at the MyTopTour website. There was no indication on my mobile that the site was for MyTopTour. In fact, I did not realize that I was not on the Alhambra site until I purchased the ticket and received an email stating the purchase would not be complete until the tickets were approved by the Alhambra. I was charged 45 euros a ticket for what was supposed to be a 10 euro ticket to the Palace Carlos V, Alcazaba, Generalife, and Gardens with physical audio guide. We then received an email stating they were really busy and we could download the app and use it instead. The app was terrible and the audio voice truly difficult to listen to. We ended up just using the Alhambra's own audio information. I asked for a refund and was given a 15% discount for a product I will never use or never recommend to anyone.Written July 2, 2024
- Atheer A0 contributionsNice way for see islamic heritageBest experience ever and the guide was very informative , we had fun fact on the site and she answered all our questions. Its recommended to family to attend this tourWritten July 2, 2024
- Tripbunni0 contributionsRacist tour guide. Double the price through My Top TourIf you’re looking for the most white supremacist tour of Al Hambra and to be charged double the face value ticket price for the pleasure, look no further! I was charged 90 Euros by this company for a ticket with a face value of 54 Euros . My Top Tour gives Spain a bad name ripping off tourists at such a high level. But the icing on the cake was to have a guide who was not terribly well educated and who could not give any credit to the Moors for their innumerable more than 700 year plus contributions to Spain, Spanish language, literature , higher education , Maths, Physics, Flamenco, their food, etc The guide never once referred to the Moors ; and would only refer to the Spanish rulers as “the Muslims”. But in and of itself, I could have forgiven her English that one, but not in combination with the never ending bigotry and one sided account of “history” we were given by this woman for 3 hours. It was more like a three hour propaganda mission. Had I known I’d signed up for the white supremacist tour of Al Hambra, I may have been better prepared. The racist delivery was almost amusing at first but got rather sinister as the guide was not able to say a single positive about the Moorish paradise she was touring through and still living very much in the shadow of in her everyday life in Andalusia . Her resentment of the Moors being so advanced technologically, academically and in every civilised way compared to what she referred to as the “Catholics” of the day , clearly got the better of her. If you are racist , you’ll love this tour and lap up every piece of propaganda Sara had to offer. If not, avoid this tour and its racist tour guides!Written July 2, 2024
- goldsaul0 contributionsAlhambra TourThe tour is handled by an independent agency. Audio devices were distributed to us. When the tour was finished, it was complicated to find the location of where to return the audio devices. When renting through the Alhambra, it is much easier to return the audio devices and not have to walk, so much to find the locationWritten June 30, 2024

Be careful, they are proposing a tour that you can by on site at half of this price. The tour does not include the Palacios Nazaries visit anyway. And in their annoucement is not so clear and evident. By the way, we bought here with My Top Tour and we discovered half of the price at the ticket office of the Alhambra and the fact that Nazaries were not included. Very triky. However we enjoyed what we could visit a lot, and we promised ourselves to inform next tourists somehow. This is the way we could let you know ! Nice Alhambra

Unfortunately We concur with the other negative reviews.
We thought we were organised until we got this message the night before
“I contact you regarding your booking xxxxxxxxxx. We would like to confirm the Walking Tour through the city for tomorrow. Do you want it in Spanish or English? Please confirm us (Carlos) by Whatsapp to the number below as soon as possible.
We re-checked out booking information and it said :
09:00 (Meet before start: 15 Hours)
Location : Alhambra, Calle Real de la Alhambra, Granada, España
So we immediately contacted Carlos and said we would like the tour in English and will will meet at the meeting point.
We arrived on time but no one there?
So we called the office 5 times and no one answered (phone just rings out).
I kept on trying and then a staff
Member answered. I explained the situation and it eventually came clear that we did not have to be there at 9am at the meeting point as there was no tour and it was self guided.
So we eventually found the link to mytoptours audio guide and guess what, the link didn’t work.
We tried calling again to get the correct link but could not get them to answer.
We ended up buying another two audio tickets at the venue ($12 Euro) and will never use this company again because of the confusing communications and you cannot get hold of them when you need them.

A regular ticket to the Alhambra including Generalife and Alcazaba is 14€ per adult plus 6€ for an audio guide. With my Top Tour you pay for the same 36,50€ without any value add. You can judge yourself...

Hello
Thank you for your comment. We are sorry for what happened. We are sorry for the problems caused. Our company works with more offers than the Patronato, as we offer official guides and audio guides, this is why our prices are higher, as there are more people working. We hope you at least enjoyed your visit.
Best regards.

This agency is best avoided! They charged us 29 euros each for a ticket to the Alhambra, which normally costs 10 euros at the official ticket office. On their website, they falsely presented that it is a COMPLETE ALHAMBRA TICKET, that includes all the sights of the Alhambra (which is clearly written under the "included" option!). After you choose that option and put in the shopping basket, they remove the main attraction Nasrid Palace from your ticket, without you even noticing it.
Only when we arrived at Alhambra did we find out that we couldn't enter Alhambra’s biggest attraction. When I asked them why they charged me 29 euros for something that normally costs 10 euros, they said it was their commission fee. For what? For making us climb Alhambra hill up and down (from parking to their office)?
Moreover, at the same time, another group of tourists with the same problem was complaining in the office, trying to get at least a refund, after this experience ruined their holiday as they couldn’t visit Nasrid palace anymore. Apparently this is how the TopTour agency makes money, by fooling tourists.
I also submitted an official written complaint, and provided them with photos from their site, where it is visible that the selected option included Nasrid palace, but they ignored me by saying that I should have read more carefully what I paid for.

Dont bother with the company. Very poor communication. They make you believe you are buying timed tickets, but after paying the money, you receive confirmation with no ticket. No time. Booked tickets for 9 am during busy summer month. After 3 inquiries got a short answer that they don't guarantee time and it could be any time between 9am and 1 pm!!! and will not send me a ticket with exact time till 24-48 hrs before the tour. We hired private guide (intependently) and needed to know exact time. No communication. And they overcharge for tickets. Beware and stay away

Meeting point far away from main entrance! Taxi driver didn’t know adresse! Had to go all the way down to get ticket! Audio guide would have to be brought back to same place-so we skipped! Normal ticket is about €20,00 without Audio guide- we paid roughly € 80,00 via Internet! I would never do it again that way!

Do not waste your money. The company charges 2-3 times the official ticket cost and provides no additional service for you. They charge you more, and then purchase the tickets on the official website and forward you the tickets. That's all they do. I cannot comment on their tours as we only purchased tickets from them, but if a company is fine to rip you off like this... it doesn't say much about the company. Go to the official website directly

In short: Their confirmation email was late. After I called in the afternoon a day before the visit, they promised that confirmation and instructions and they did send it but around midnight!!!
After I found that email around 8 am, and my tour was scheduled for 9 am, I could NOT open the link named Meeting Point. So, i called and called and nobody was answering the phone!
We went to the entrance to Alhambra, where all other tours gather, and could NOT find anyone from Mytoptours! But, we heard a lot of not nice at all things about them!
Finally, around 9:15am, somebody answered the phone and, after a lot of trouble, I got my tickets sent to my Whatsup. Cant wait to see the roaming data and all the calling bill on my US cellphone....
Well, at least we entered the grounds and the palace. Of course, we didn't get any audio guide or anything else. I bought a book.
Later, i emailed them and asked for a partial refund and let's see what will happen.
Finally, i can say the way they function is not a good way to stay in business.

We deliberately booked our trip two weeks in advance and 3 days before we heard that the slot I booked wasn’t available anymore. I booked for 11 but the only possibility was 15.00. When I said that we couldn’t at 15 because of another thing we planned to do that day I got a very unkind and unprofessional reaction.
We couldn’t get our money back because ‘they already bought the ticket’, we got offered 50% of the money.
In hindsight; we shouldn’t have bought our tickets here. Expensive, unprofessional and very bad service.
Avoid at any cost.

SCAM ALERT!! When you google, they come up looking like official Alhambra tickets and tour. Don't be fooled.. DON"T book your Alhambra tickets/tours here. First of all- TRIPLE THE PRICE !! go to official website and buy there !! much cheaper and you get your desired time of entry GUARANTEED way in advance , and second of all they don't guarantee you desired time of entry to the palace, they tell you last minute (24 hrs in advance) so you can't plan your visit until then. SCAM. Get official tickets and plenty of good private guides you can find on tirpadvisor or tours by locals
