Gus, our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the venue, and of historical information of the area. His command of the English language was excellent. Loved the pace of the tour. Highly recommend.

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.

Everything was perfect, I'm just disappointed that I wasn't able to book the visit to the Nasrid Palaces at the time of booking, even though our whole group went there afterwards. Funny software?

Visit the Alhambra, once the Palatial City and Royal Christian House, and now a National Monument of Spain

Gain fast-track entry to the Alhambra Complex, a National and Artistic Monument of Spain. A fortress that has evolved and grown into a palace, having changed hands from the Romans, the Nasrids, and the Christians, the Alhambra is a standing lesson about the history of Granada and Andalusia in general. Alhambra's architecture is telling of this history. Apart from an English or a Spanish, French, German, an Italian tour, you can also opt for a bilingual tour with a guide who speaks fluent English and Spanish.

Learn about the different architectural styles that make up the different parts of the Alhambra Complex

Walk through the passages and admire the different styles of architecture that were used as the Complex expanded. Your guide will regale you with tales about the Complex's history and provenance as you make your way through. Marvel at the Gate of the Pomegranates and gaze at the Washington Irving Monument. 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 palaces is a sight to behold, regardless of its origins.

Visit the Generalife, the luxurious former Summer Palace and country estate of the Nasrid rulers of Granada

The Generalife 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.
