• 5Awesome tour!

  One of the best tours we have ever done!! Instructions to meeting place was perfect. Our guide Georgia was outstanding!! The complex is vast and I can't imagine trying to find my way around. She knew the best way to go and so many facts. When our group got a little hot she quickly adjusted. We loved it, so glad for a private tour.

• 5Alhambra Paradise

  Outstanding! Maria Theresa, our guide, was friendly, knowledgable and patient with all the many questions we had. She provided good knowledge of the history and architecture of the Alhambra. She came ready with our tickets - very organised - and able to skip the lines. Although it was very crowded with tourists she easily navigated us through the crowds and allowed us to take as many pictures as we liked. We did have some difficulty with the meeting point, but shared this with Maria Theresa, who already thought of a good solution to make it more clear for future clients.

  Our guide Anna was thorough and friendly. Knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. The meeting point however was a bit confusing as Google Maps led us to another place. Access to attractions was no fuss.

  We had an amazing tour guide, Anis. He was a wealth of knowledge and was happy to answer any of our questions. It was a private tour that encompassed the entire compound and he shared details about everything including the plants and trees and the gardens. He is very passionate about the history of his home town and the Alhambra. We couldn’t have had a better experience.

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).
