The Alhambra is a unique place!!!. Our guide Cristina Vega was very charming and took us to beautiful places and with her patience she explained every detail. The three hour tour seems long but you get into the landscapes and the time flies.

We were fortunate to have a guide, Antonio, who took us through the tour telling us every little detail of the Alhambra's monumental complex. All with great competence and passion, and even a hint of irony scattered here and there along a three-hour-long tour.

Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite being early in the morning on Labor Day, was very pleasant and entertaining, a constant source of information and very interesting. Without Carlos Fuentes, the tour of the Alhambra would have been a tedious and lackluster experience, with so much to see but little explanatory information about it...Thank you very much, Carlos, for an unforgettable Alhambra experience! Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite the early tour hours on Labor Day , was very nice and pleasant, a constant yet very interesting source of information. Without Carlos Fuentes, the Alhambra tour would have been cumbersome, with so much to see but too little written information about it....Thank you, Carlos, for an unforgettable experience of La Alhambra!

Seamless access to the Alhambra and the services of an expert by your side
After assembling at the meeting point, your professional guide will lead you past the winding queues. Whether you choose to go on a shared tour, or prefer the exclusivity of a private tour, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Walk through the passages and admire the different styles of architecture that were used as the Palace expanded. Your guide will regale you with tales about the Palace's history and provenance as you make your way through. Marvel at the Gate of the Pomegranates and gaze at the Washington Irving Monument, an odd sight until you'll learn that he was the first Hispanist, inspiring the travels of many 19th-century Americans when he wrote Tales of the Alhambra while living in the Palace.
Take a stroll in the impeccably manicured Generalife Gardens
The Generalife is also known as the Architect's Garden, is one of the oldest examples of Moorish gardens. In fact, the entire estate is a series of gardens and fountains with exceptional Islamic motifs and architecture tying it all together. Cool turquoise water, flower beds, and lush greenery make the Generalife a beautiful sight. You will also get to spend some time in the Dehesa of Generalife, a vast green expanse offering incredible scenic views of the surroundings.
The noble living quarters of the Nasrid Palaces
Located in the heart of the Alhambra are the Nasrid Palaces, residence of former sultans and kings. You will also get to visit the Palace of Charles V, built by the Holy Roman Emperor in Alhambra for the poignant significance of being a Muslim fortress that was conquered by his own Christian grandparents. Don't forget to visit the unique Court of the Lions, a well-known highlight of the Nasrid Palaces.
