The guide got us through all of the major points of the Alhambra smoothly and on time, while navigating lots of other groups. The meeting point was unclear and could have been made better with a simple flag or sign to look for. Also, while the guide was very personable, he did not give as much historical background as I would have liked, instead opting for lots of jokes. Overall, it got us last minute tickets inside and we're very grateful for that.

We had an excellent guide who brought the place alive and I really enjoyed her humour. The ticketting was fine but we had trouble finding the rendezvous point, but when we called for help the girl was clear and very helpful.

Your experience

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.
