1. This is a complete visit to the Alhambra (tickets included): for about 2.5-3 hours we will show you what is considered by many as the most impressive monument in Spain. We will start by visiting the Generalife, an area of beautiful gardens and orchards where the Sultan had a palace that was used for personal enjoyment. After the Generalife, we will go to see the Palace of Charles V, a Christian palace in the heart of the Alhambra that will not leave you indifferent. In the Alcazaba, the defensive-military zone, we will be lucky enough to enjoy what are probably the best views of the city, and finally, we will visit the Nasrid palaces, the center of political and bureaucratic administration of the kingdom of Granada.

• 5Excellent private tour

  We had a private tour with Matias. Absolutely wonderful! He had an immense knowledge of the history, architecture, landscaping and religion pertaining to the Alhambra. Worth the money to do a private tour. Showed us great viewpoints to take pictures and so much easier to ask questions, not only about the Alhambra, but the Grenada and Spain, in general. Matias was professional, as well as personable and a pleasure to spend time with.Highly recommended tour!!

• 5Local, private, beat the crowds and chaos!!

  This was a great experience in one of the must-see places of a lifetime. My guide was very informative of the Alhambra, both its grounds and its history. He was a native from the area, and had a lot of connections and context with the site from living there his whole life. Pro tip: This guide got us to the front of the line at each check point at the site, and was able to distance us as best he could from the mosh pit of the people doing the large group tours.

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).
