We had this very pleasant experience. The place is fantastic and the organization of the visit was optimal; we did not queue at all, despite the large number of people at the site. The guide, Antonio, was knowledgeable and inspired and did not disdain anecdotes to make the story lighter. I recommend her

Everything was a breeze, if you ask around for help finding your guide everyone is very understanding and directs you to where you need to be. It was very informative and I learned lots! Our guide was friendly and was appropriately numerous which added a nice touch to a long tour. Our tickets where for 9 am and we finished at 1230 pm.

The guide, Alberto, was super good and we enjoyed the tour a lot. The issues we had was that the tour was rescheduled and delayed by two hours, which ruined our plans for the rest of the day. Aslo, to charge an extra Euro for the headset for the audio that the guide used when the tickes cost 60 Euro, is just not okay. The tour in it self and the guide was fantastic.

Your experience

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.
