Alhambra is stunning. Nothing like i have ever seen before. The experience and our guide were all wonderful. We had a great time. The weather during our visit was perfect but 'm told summers can be too hot. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes- its a walk. But totally book it.

During our recent trip to Spain, my boyfriend and I visited the Alhambra in Granada. We had pre-booked a guided tour, which ensured a smooth experience without the hassle of long lines. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, providing in-depth insights into the site’s rich history and intricate architecture. The tour encompassed the Nasrid Palaces, Generalife Gardens, and the Alcazaba Fortress. Each area showcased stunning examples of Moorish design, with the Nasrid Palaces’ detailed stucco work and the Generalife’s lush gardens leaving a lasting impression. The Alcazaba offered panoramic views of Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains, adding to the site’s allure. Overall, the combination of a well-organized tour and an expert guide made our visit to the Alhambra both educational and enjoyable. We highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in exploring Spain’s cultural heritage.

Jesus the guide was simply amazing. But also we got exactly everything out of the tour. Bit of history, current affairs. Timing wise ideal, nothing rushed at all. I like the mic and the headphones, could hear and follow my guide at all time. One of the best tours I had.

The guide, Rosa, is very good and the headset system is great, I liked the seriousness and punctuality of the agency, the ease of buying tickets online from Mexico and obviously the beauty of the Alahmbra.

Seamless access to the Alhambra and the services of an expert by your side

After assembling at the meeting point, your professional guide will lead you past the winding queues. Whether you choose to go on a shared tour, or prefer the exclusivity of a private tour, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Walk through the passages and admire the different styles of architecture that were used as the Palace expanded. Your guide will regale you with tales about the Palace's history and provenance as you make your way through. Marvel at the Gate of the Pomegranates and gaze at the Washington Irving Monument, an odd sight until you'll learn that he was the first Hispanist, inspiring the travels of many 19th-century Americans when he wrote Tales of the Alhambra while living in the Palace.

Take a stroll in the impeccably manicured Generalife Gardens

The Generalife is also known as the Architect's Garden, is one of the oldest examples of Moorish gardens. In fact, the entire estate is a series of gardens and fountains with exceptional Islamic motifs and architecture tying it all together. Cool turquoise water, flower beds, and lush greenery make the Generalife a beautiful sight. You will also get to spend some time in the Dehesa of Generalife, a vast green expanse offering incredible scenic views of the surroundings.

The noble living quarters of the Nasrid Palaces

Located in the heart of the Alhambra are the Nasrid Palaces, residence of former sultans and kings. You will also get to visit the Palace of Charles V, built by the Holy Roman Emperor in Alhambra for the poignant significance of being a Muslim fortress that was conquered by his own Christian grandparents. Don't forget to visit the unique Court of the Lions, a well-known highlight of the Nasrid Palaces.
