Actually I did not like the ticketing experience that much. The google map location was incorrect, the Alhambra map was covered by a box. I had a real hard time finding the meeting place. But our guide Cynthia was very knowledgeable, I learned a lot about the history of the place from her.

Booked entrance to the Alahmbra in Granada. Explanation for how to do detailed and we were in in no time. Very convenient Headout app. Highly recommend! The 'entrance to the Naziaries palaces has a specific time and you have to arrive a bit earlier while for everything else you can walk around freely. The complete tour according to the guide takes more or less 3 hours.

Excellent guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. My only regret is that I didn't visit the Nasrid palaces because it wasn't clear when I booked. Nice experience all the same

It was a great experience. Although I have to say that for not being able to see the Nasrid Palaces the price has been very high as we booked it 3 days in advance. If there are eggs I do not understand that high price.

The greatest part about the guided tour of the Al Hambra was truely our guide herself, 'Mar'. Her knowledge of the history surrounding the Al Hambra and more generally Spain, was incredible and certainly made the tour worth every cent. I cannot advise more strongly that you organise a guided tour of the Al Hambra even if just to skip all the lines and take a bit more from your trip then you otherwise would!

The place I was more than 45 years old when I came here last time. It has changed a lot. But it is just as beautiful. I only found it a bit unpleasant to have a guide who had to divide into two groups. One of 3 people in German, the other of 4 in Spanish.

An ornate palace complete with lavish rooms, sprawling gardens, and vast courtyards, the Nasrid Palace is one of the highlights of the city.

Alcazaba

This Moorish fortification is one of the oldest parts of the Alhambra and can be traced back to the 9th century. Initially used as King Mohammad I's residence, the Alcazaba in Granada was later transformed into a military center after the construction of the Nasrid Palaces. Complete with thick walls and towers, it was the main line of defense against attacks.
Look out for: Torre de la Vela
