Visiting Granada from Malaga

[2serendip]

Our Windstar ship is offering an excursion from Malaga to Granada. Has anyone done that? Do you have any ideas for a private guide instead of the ship's tour? Thanks!

I will suggest taking cruise excursion if you plan to visit Alhambra. Granada is 2 hours away from Malaga, and the traffic is unpredictable. Moreover, if you plan to visit Alhambra, you need a timed ticket to visit the Nasrid Palaces. You are only given a 30-min time slot to enter the palace. IMHO, it is too difficult to time it just right if you plan to DIY.

I did a private tour to Granada with a guide, David Riordan (davidwriordan@gmail.com). We toured Granada, Alhambra, and Fragilliana. The tour was excellent and far more reasonably priced than the cruise ship tour. We saw a lot more than we would have if we had done the cruise tour. He is very flexible so you can plan the tour to suite your particular interests.

I just posted to another thread "People on our cruise used this company http://www.guiasgranada.com for private trip to Granada (Alhambra) from Malaga. I didn't go but I think it was 16 pax bus at cost of 50+ euro pp. If you are interested then join the roll call for your sailing and try to put a group together."
