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

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.

The girl who accompanied us on Friday July 5 very excellent explanation, patience and guidance I would not give her 100 points but 1000 points. She is an expert and it is known that she knows her subject and history perfectly. Please give me in this month an extra five euros or €10 of gratitude.

Alhambra is an exceptional experience. Such a beautiful place & being able to retrace it's incredible history with a knowledgeable guide was fantastic. You can sense what life would have been like under the Nasrid Dynasty.

Explore Alhambra with a guide

Gain entry to the Alhambra, a National and Artistic Monument of Spain, on this guided tour. Walk through the passages and admire the different styles of architecture that were used as the Palace expanded. Whether you choose a regular day time tour or a unique nighttime tour, get the complete picture of the complex.

Choose a skilled guide fluent in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish, offering insights into the palace's history, complemented by clear audio headsets.

Visit other wonders of Alhambra

This ticket grants access to several other attractions within the Alhambra complex. Explore the Palace of Charles V, an architectural marvel blending Plateresque, Gothic, and Spanish styles, renowned for its unique collection of Hispano-Muslim and Nasrid artworks. Discover the Generalife, known as the Architect's Garden, one of the oldest Moorish gardens featuring cool turquoise water, flower beds, and lush greenery. Don't miss the Alcazaba, one of the oldest structures in the Alhambra, serving as both a fortress and a watchtower during the Nasrid rule.

Nasrid Palace and Medina

While many structures within the Nasrid Palaces have succumbed to time, some endure, including the Mexuar, once a prominent part of the palace, and the Court of Lions (Palacio de Los Leones), along with more private areas.

After exploring the Nasrid Palaces, accompany your guide to the Medina, a citadel featuring remnants of ovens, silos, cisterns, public baths, workshops, and residences of government officials, employees, and court servants, accessible via a challenging route.
