Full description

Learn about the history of Granada on this 3-hour guided tour of the Alhambra and Generalife summer palace. An informative guide will lead you around the vast complex, dating back more than 600 years. Marvel at a magnificent mix of Islamic art and culture. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, the Alhambra was a courtly city where the sultans of the Nasrid Dynasty lived. In addition to the ornate palaces of the sultans, your guide will take you the military fortress for rewarding views of Granada and the surrounding mountains.

Then walk over to the Generalife. Built as a place of leisure for the Moorish Kings of Granada in the 14th century, its beautiful gardens are abundant with diverse flora and stunning water features. One writer poetically described it as the "water that cries."

Loved the tour, Isobel our guide was brilliant! Kept the whole family engaged from beginning to end, so glad we did the tour over the self walk audio guide. Parking was super easy, and was 10 euro. They had 4 parking pays, our tour was 12pm so the first three bays were full, but we had someone there directing us where to go. Defiantly worth seeing.

The tour blew my mind. Alhambra is amazing and our guide, Isabel, was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. She put together a comprehensive context for the Alhambra and pointed our things we never would have seen or understood. She was great and the tour was a standout.
