Our Alhambra tour guide, Aitana, was wonderful! For someone who gives the tour twice per day every day, she seemed like she still enjoys her job. Her English was excellent and it was clear from her answers to questions that she has studied history. There were 10 in our group and that seemed like a small enough size that we felt comfortable engaging and talking to her about various points. I had a couple questions before the tour date and Headout was thorough in answering them. We received clear instructions on when and where to meet the guide the day of, although at first it was a little hard to spot the white umbrella on the ground amidst all the people; I would suggest they put the umbrella somewhere more visible from the entrance. The Alhambra itself did not disappoint, it is a true gem of the medieval world. And when they say to bring your passport, they mean it! Security is tighter than the airport! Small backpacks are allowed but you will have to wear it on your front inside the palaces so you don't accidentally touch the walls. And you can bring water but are only allowed to drink it in certain areas. There are also water fountains throughout and drinks available for purchase. Overall, I'm glad we did this tour rather than explore the Alhambra ourselves as we got so much more out of the experience.

A must! The tour was top-notch, and the Alhambra was indescribable. Recommendation: it's better to spend a bit more on the ticket and book a group tour for a maximum of 10 people. You learn so much and experience it in a completely different way. Simply wonderful.

Our guide Julian was great! He did a fantastic job explaining the tour to us. Most importantly, he didn't bore us with irrelevant details!!! Thanks, it was great—but three hours is exhausting, though you do get to see and learn a lot.

The tour guide Paula found exactly the right balance between giving explanations and letting us visitors explore on our own.

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.
