TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS
MADRID MAN visited Granada and toured with us last year:
http://madridman.com/blog-madrid/2008/04/
"I took two tours in Granada. One, Granada Picnic Tours, Anne, an American woman from Kansas,
took a small group of us around the Alhambra, spending roughly 4 hours with us, and giving us all
the details about the Alhambra in a very casual, familiar manner. It was a wonderful success and I
enjoyed it a lot."
"Can ANYONE say enough about the City of Granada? Talk about the epitome of the phrase
"Enchanted City"! It has everything, and all without the confines of what feels like a village.
Of course, anyone visiting Granada MUST SEE the Alhambra. That really goes without saying but
lots of people, including many Spaniards, believe they can "just show up" and see it - but you really
can't. You can, if you're lucky, AND if you're willing to spend hours upon hours waiting in line for the
few remaining tickets that MIGHT be available. Pre-ordering/reserving Alhambra tickets online is a
MUST DO these days. And even with that you'll have a long-ish line to COLLECT the actual ticket at
the ticket office. I saw people which must have been waiting in line for almost an hour just to get their
pre-ordered tickets."

The Alhambra is one of the most amazing places in the world. Using a private guide enhances the
experience tremendously as you can enjoy it at your own pace and are not herded with a bus load of other
tourists. Anne from Granada Picnic Tours was great--her knowledge of Alhambra, the history, the
architecture, the art, the countryside, were incredible. (www.granadapicnictours.com)

A long tour of the grounds including the Palacio Carlos V, the Alcazaba, the Alhambra and
the Generalife were the focus and highlight of our visit to Granada. Two suggestions to
help prepare for the trip are to read Washington Irving's "Tales of the Alhambra" and to
book a tour through www.granadapicnictours.com
A digital camera is recommended - there is s much to shoot - and extra batteries. Having
gone this winter, I can tell you it's always a tough ticket to get (though not overrun with
visitors because it is well managed) but still gorgeous even in December. Bring a few euros
for an Alhambra beer in the Plaza de los Aljibes!
