Alhambra: the Alhambra ticket policy being terrible, it is extremely hard to get entrances on the website. It must be noted that Explorer Granada are not resellers: they obtain the tickets by staying up the whole night before to book them for us. This explains why we only receive them late in the night before the day and why the time of the Nasrid Palace visit is not set until you receive them. This is very hard work on their part, which in my opinion justifies the cost of the package. When booking with Getyourguide, triple check the visitor information entered in the booking. The passport information need to match your ticket, and the app sometimes glitches. The most important part is the passport number. E-bike tour: Alexandra was a fantastic guide and made it funny, interesting and enjoyable despite the rain. The itinerary is great and we got to see the best parts of the city, which can be a bit tricky to access by car or walking. The e-bikes were super easy to use and convenient.

The route chosen by the guide was very nice and offering different beautiful points of view. Some bikes needed a bit of maintenance considering the hilly route used. Overall it was a pleasant morning discovering this part of Granada.
