Our take
The Viator version of the Alpujarra tour, with the advantage of a fixed hotel pickup at 8:30. With 4.6 / 5 from 138 reviews, it's a solid product, although the GYG version (4.7 · 320 reviews) is more tested. The price (€85) sits between the standard GYG tour (€71) and the GYG Originals (€115). It's a good option if: you're staying at a central hotel (direct pickup), you prefer to book on Viator out of habit, or you want a fixed departure time (8:30) rather than a variable one. The coverage is the same: the Poqueira Gorge with Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira as the main stops. Optional traditional Alpujarra lunch at a local restaurant, paid separately.
