How do we collect reviews?
After meeting your guide at the designated meeting point, you will make your way to the Alhambra Palace. On this 3-hour Alhambra tour, you will travel back in time and explore Granada's Moorish past while touring the palace and its gardens, alongside an expert. To top it all off, you will have priority access and bypass long queues.
You will start by exploring the palace and fortress, which in its golden age acted as its own citadel housing the King of Granada and hundreds of family members, guards, and servants. It was the last bastion of the Moorish people in medieval Spain. You will then explore the glorious grounds, with the inside featuring fine examples of impressive Muslim architecture. Sitting on top of a hill, Alhambra also gives you the chance to take the perfect photos out over the city and provides you with unparalleled views of Granada.
You will then proceed to the gardens of El Generalife – El Generalife itself is a villa which acted as the private retreat of the Muslim kings. This magnificent 14th-century summer estate is famous for its ornamental gardens, which combine a distinctive architecture with a range of water features, allotments, and plant and floral arrangements. Your guide will explain the significance of the different features of the gardens, as well as help you get up close and personal with the region’s history before you finish the tour and have the chance to explore further at your own pace.
