    The ticket was only for the guide. In my opinion, this was not explained clearly enough when the ticket was presented online. I didn't have a ticket. The communication with the support team was ok, but I really would have expected more goodwill. For example, a voucher. As it was, I completely wasted the €18

    The visit was very nice, I think it is essential to visit the Alhambra with someone who can guide you because otherwise you will see beautiful things but without knowing what each one is because inside the Alhambra there is no information that you can read.
