Veronique was amazing!!! She was extremely knowledgable and nice. Couldn't ask for a better tour guide. The company went above and beyond to make sure we have a ticket secured for Nasrid palace (it's nominative) thank you so much!!

Received all the info we needed and was easy to meet the guide just near the entrance. Jose was very knowledgable and fun. You felt he really took pride in giving us a great experience by speaking clearly and in an interesting way.

Full description

Discover the unforgettable Muslim palatial city of Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which once was home to the sultans of the Nasrid Dynasty. Learn more about its rich history and elaborate, Moorish architecture from a professional guide as you walk around the uniquely well-preserved medieval citadel and explore both the Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife gardens. 

Inside the palatine city and once the explanations have been received, enjoy the artistic beauty of the Patio de los Leones. Known for its iconic Muslim blue and yellow tile decoration, the courtyard is a stunning example of the splendor of Islamic architecture and engineering.

Next, visit the Palace of Mexuar, the oldest palace in the complex and the Palace of Comares, which was the official residence of the Sultan as well as the location of the throne room. Finally, head to the Palace of Lions, which is considered the peak of Nazari art.

Finish your tour at the sultan’s summer palace to the east of Alhambra. The Generalife is framed by breathtaking scenery and surrounded by a plethora of vegetation and green open space.
