I would strongly recommend this tour - the 3 hours is a perfect amount of time to walk around and see the entirety of the palace without being overly rushed (though you could spend all day here if you wanted to.) Our guide, Christian, was phenomenal in explaining the history of the palace and was the key to us having a great experience - all while being very friendly, personable, funny, and likable. This tour provides you with earpieces so you can hear your guide even if they are far away - this is a game changer: because of the narrow passageways and the large crowds, you will absolutely need this feature because you will get broken up or will have to walk in single file (with 10-15 people in your group) and so it would otherwise be impossible to hear. Other considerations: we were well paced, meaning we'd walk to a section - talk, look around, and move on. You should be aware that ANY tour of Alhambra is going to involve a lot of walking and some steps, so be prepared. This group was moving at a reasonable pace, with a break halfway through for the restrooms or a quick snack. Again, this tour company is clearly experienced and know how to run a great tour, and Christian was a phenomenal tour guide on top of this.
