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

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!

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.

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.

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.
