Guide in small group great 😆 Understandable accentless German. Complete 3 hour tour with small break and detailed art history explanation. Only the location of the meeting point does not match your description. Is namely to the right of the main entrance. Next time again.

The guide and the itinerary. However, the time of the tour was changed, which affected my visit as I had another appointment afterwards. And the information about the meeting point was sent wrong. The person who did the sorting was neither friendly nor available, Itzel.

Your experience

Explore Alhambra with a guide

Gain entry to the Alhambra, a National and Artistic Monument of Spain, on this guided tour.

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.
