Our guide Naomi led us through the facility with a wealth of information. She was always responsive to the children taking part. An absolute plus point. She also prepared the access to the different areas through the various security checks very well. The only drawback was that we were informed in advance that we should wait at a "meeting point" opposite the kiosk of the same name, which was indicated in an email photo. We were there on time, only to be called at the start time to find out where we were. We had to come to the cash desk and the woman with the white umbrella. This was information that we had not received in advance. But apart from that, it was a great event that our grandchildren were still raving about the day after.

We had the pleasure of having Javier as our tour guide during our visit to the Alhambra yesterday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Javier shared a wealth of information with us and made the entire tour engaging and enjoyable. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate about the history he shared. We truly loved the experience thanks to him. We highly recommend booking a tour with Javier if you're planning to visit the Alhambra — he will give you an experience to remember. Thank you so much, Javier, and we look forward to doing it again!

The Alhambra is marvelous--and we were able to appreciate it to the fullest thanks to Antonio's guidance, the best guide imaginable. Alternating precise historical and artistic directions with lighter, joking moments that got us into the "gossip" about the protagonists of a glorious era, Antonio expertly led us through the hidden treasures of this magical treasure chest, the Alhambra. Highly recommended visit, not to be missed!

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.

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.
