Full description

Get a taste of medieval Granada with an unforgettable guided tour of the Alhambra and Generalife grounds, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Relax knowing your ticket to the palatial city includes entry to the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba Fortress, and Generalife grounds. Best of all, choose a small-group or private guided experience, depending on your preference.  Your expert local guide will collect you from just outside the complex, ensuring that you access the Alhambra grounds via a separate group entrance. You will also enjoy separate group access with your guide when entering the Generalife Palace.  Take in the tranquility of the Emirs’ old summer palace at the Generalife, including a beautiful rose garden, planted courtyards, and relaxing water features. Hear all about the history of the city of Granada and the Alhambra in this tranquil setting.  Your guide will take you into the Nasrid Palaces, the old Moorish palaces, where you can get up close to the iconic Islamic decorative details. Enjoy the colorful geometric tiling and various courtyard water features, including the famous Patio de los Leones.

Architecture and art fans will enjoy the iconic Islamic and Mudéjar styles in the grounds. Visit the Alcazaba with your guide to see the royal fortress, so strong it was used for many centuries after its construction.

Climb the steps of the Watch Tower here to get unrivaled views of the city of Granada below you, including the Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods. Roam the free areas of the complex at the end of the tour, whether you want to take in more of the beautiful gardens or visit other features such as the Palace of Carlos V, a Renaissance palace dating from the 16th century. Enjoy breathtaking views of the old Arabic Quarter of Granada, the Albaicín, from numerous viewing points in the Moorish palace complex.

Our tour was absolutely outstanding. Sergio was a wonderful guide with a lovely way of imparting his huge knowledge of the site. Discovering how to read even the surface many layers of the book that is the Alhambra will stay with us forever. We particularly loved the vivid description of the impact of the throne room and the presence of the Sultan on the visiting courtiers. We had our 8 year old niece with us and Sergio kept her interested by introducing her to the “cats if the Alhambra”. Being able to skip the line and have Sergio to ourselves when exploring one of the wonders of the world (there were four of us) was a rare privilege. Muchas gracias!!!

We covered a lot of ground in 3 hours, but it was strategically well spent. The Alhambra property and gardens are beautifully maintained and our guide, Christian, was great. I’m general, I strongly believe a tour is well worth the time given its size; however, there were times it would have been nice to sit and relax, which would be the only added benefit of a self guided visit. The booking process was super easy and this particular tour was a great and informative way to see and learn about not only the Alhambra, but Granada’s history as well. Highly recommend!!
