Pick up and drop off beautifully organized guide informative and moved us gracefully through the crowds we were given plenty of time for photographs and for just quietly standing there to take it all in wonderful stories giving us the historical events that took place in the various parts. Watching those without a guided tour try to figure it all out, I 100 recommend this tour.
A truly beautiful & amazing heritage for the Spaniards plus we had a wonderful & knowledgeable guide.
Pick-up time was prompt, Enrique, our guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to answer all questions, giving us an interesting picture of life at the Alhambra through the times. He paced the tour to suit everyone, stopping for pictures and even taking them for us. It was one of the best tours I have ever taken.
Informative guides and very convient to meet. This place is awesome.
Stunning city,Alhambra was fabulous and the tour guide was very good.
Granada is a wonderful place to visit. Alhambra and Granada in general has a certain magical charm when you walk through. The Tour Guide was very professional and punctual. His way of touring us through was engaging and captivating. I never felt overwhelmed or bored with the amount of information he shared with us. I felt like he was telling us a story... the best way to share hiStory Thanks!
tour guides very friendly, punctual, funny makes jokes and wonderful place to visit
Excellent tour at a very good pace. Guide was very knowledgeable. The Alhambra is beautiful and fascinating.
The tour guide spoke English extremely well, and gave us a wonderful tour of the Alhambra, despite the awful weather. He was knowledgeable and positive. The group was small. A break was provided where wine and snack were available.
Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! Our initial concerns that our driver had somehow forgotten us were alleviated when we realized that the driver had come to our hotel but found no one registered under our name. I had booked the tour in my last name, and we were registered at the hotel in my husband's last name. The tour company paid for a taxi for my family to join the tour at Alhambra, despite that the mix-up was our mistake! Thankfully, we did not miss anything, because the Alhambra and gardens were amazing!
Activity information
Discover the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Alhambra and Generalife Gardens on this fascinating morning tour. Escorted by your local guide, you'll explore beyond the beautiful Moorish architecture to learn the history of one of the most visited attractions in the world.
Your visit begins in the Alhambra, whose construction began in the 11th century on the red hill known as Assabika which overlooks Granada. The Alcazaba fortress was the first structure to be built, followed by the royal palace and residence of members of the court.
You will visit the most important halls and courtyards of the Alhambra, including the Alcazaba fortress, the Serrallo, the Patio of los Arrayanes (Myrtle Courtyard), the Hall of la Barca, the Salon of the Embajadores (Ambassadors Hall), the Patio de los Leones (Lions Courtyard), the Hall of the Abencerrajes, the Royal Baths and the Palace of Charles V.
Continuing to the Generalife Gardens, next to the Alhambra, you'll visit the retreat of leisure and recreation for the Moorish kings of Granada. The beautiful gardens feature abundant and varied flora and stunning water features. Your visit includes two further courtyards, the Patio de la Acequia and the Patio de la Sultana.
Advance bookings are strongly recommended, as access to the Alhambra is strictly limited to a certain number of visitors each day.
