Full description

In the morning, you'll visit the Alhambra, the most visited monument in Spain and one of the best examples of Islamic art in the world. Millions of visitors admire its palaces, gardens and walls every year. Discover the beauty of this Word Heritage Site on a combination tour. The Nasrid dynasty complex, built on the Sabika Hill, is the most impressive fortified complex of Muslim Spain and its walls still stand as witnesses to the golden age of Granada.  In the afternoon, you'll visit the Albaicín, Granada’s ancient quarter, and certainly at one time the most beautiful. Walk along its narrow, cobbled streets, and admire the flowering balconies and stunning views of the Moorish fortress. Discover mansions built as residences for the Nasrid nobles during the 14th and 15th centuries. You’ll explore both the monumental Alhambra and the secret and charming Albaicín with your expert guide, stopping for a break for lunch in between. Enjoy a full day full of Spanish history and art.

Visiting Al Hambra followed by afternoon walk through Albacin provides excellent opportunity to know the city. The break between the two allows to relax. The guide was well informed and friendly. Well planned and well implemented. We were very pleased.

Die Führung war spitze, vor allem auch Dank unseres Tourguides, sie war wirklich super! Wir haben alles gesehen und alles wissenswerte erfahren! Diese Tour ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen, weil es am Nachmittag nochmal für 2 Stunden in die arabische Altstadt geht, die auch einen Besuch lohnt...

In all my travels, my trip to Granada was a standout experience. The highlight was most definitely the guided tour of the Alhambra. My guide, Hamdi, was a joy to be with and clearly conveyed his knowledge of the Alhambra to his group of English speakers. His knowledge of the history of the Alhambra was impressive and he took the time to answer any questions that came to him. The day itself was perfect weather, blue skies and warm which only added to the experience. Booking ahead was a wise thing to as there were many, many people there on the day. Hamdi was happy to take photos of you with your camera or phone so I now have happy memories of my day at the Alhambra. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Granada.
