We had a great native-speaking guide in Raquel, who taught us lots of interesting things and historical background in her very friendly way! This tour was more than worthwhile and is highly recommended!

I was not given details of the guide, I arrived at the meeting point 45 minutes early. And still, nobody looked for me in any way. With the help of another company we managed to find the tickets for me and Mrs. in an inn, in an informal way, and with that we were able to enter the Alhambra. About 400 meters inside I managed to find our guide Ada. The rest of the visit was excellent and with a fantastic guide. COMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS MUST BE IMPROVED, I crossed the Atlantic Ocean for a good guided tour. Manuel Sanhueza Chile

The guide was very knowledgeable and was paying attention to all the group. He is very professional and I left with very positive feelings. With the historical facts he shared he managed to teleport me back in the years. Thank you for the unforgettable moment and experience

    Great experience. Jesus was a wonderful guide.
  • Enjoy Seamless Access to the Alhambra in a Group of Ten or Less and the Services of an Expert by Your Side

    After assembling at the meeting point, your professional guide shall lead you past the winding queues and on to an 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. 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. The many pillared palace is a sight to behold, regardless of its origins. Don't forget to visit the unique Court of the Lions, a well-known highlight of the Nasrid Palace.

    Take a Stroll in the Impeccably Manicured Generalife Gardens

    The Generalife is also known as the Architect's Garden, is easily 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.
