5Iatana was an amazing guide!
Iatana was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture. Iatana had a great sense of humor and made the three hour tour enjoyable! The small group size of 10 people made it easier to take photos and see where she was pointing.

5Great tour
Excellent tour. On time, very informative and organised. Our guide Stephania was very interesting and paced the tour well. We had a quick drink and loo break an hour before the end and it finished on time. Very good tour.
5Worth Every Euro.
Incredible private tour with Vicente from Angie Tours. He had a wealth of knowledge and a Masters in the Alhambra! I’d recommend him and a private tour to anyone.
5An Excellent Alhambra Tour – Highly Recommended
This small-group tour of the Alhambra was an outstanding experience. Our guide was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, informative and passionate about the history of this incredible place. We learnt so much about the Alhambra, the Generalife and the Nasrid Palaces, with fascinating details and insights we would never have discovered on our own. Having a knowledgeable guide made such a difference, bringing the history and architecture to life and giving us a much deeper appreciation of this remarkable site. The small-group format was also a real bonus, making the experience more personal and enjoyable. My advice is to book an early tour to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more comfortable experience exploring this magnificent site. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Granada. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the Alhambra with an expert guide!
5Don't miss this
The guide was very knowledgable about the buildings, the culture and the history. It was a small group, only 4 of us. Unfortunately it was raining and one of us felt we spent too much time in the rain. The other one of us enjoyed it despite the rain. It is well worth having a guide because there is so much to see it would be hard to do on our own. It also enabled us to skip the line.

About Granada
Granada is an Andalusian city below the Sierra Nevada, home to the Alhambra palace complex, the Moorish Albaicín quarter and a famous tapas habit.
The Alhambra, a hilltop fortress and palace complex built by the Nasrid rulers in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, is one of Spain's most visited monuments, with carved plasterwork, courtyards and pools, and the Generalife gardens beside it. Granada fell in 1492, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and the cathedral and Royal Chapel, with the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, mark that turning point.
Top-ranked sights in Granada: Generalife Gardens, Alhambra (Alhambra de Granada), Palace of Charles V (Palacio de Carlos V).
