Outstanding guide to truly fabulous place. Long queues didn’t bother us as we were led through a side gate! Francisco (our guide) was born in Grenada and his knowledge was second to none! He even took some superb photos for us, using my phone! I had visited Alhambra in the day before but the night tour topped that. We drove for 2 hours to get there but it was truly worth it. The guide is the icing on the cake as you wouldn’t glean the information he supplies if you visited on your own. An amazing experience.

I highly recommend this tour. The atmosphere during the evening is very different to the day time atmosphere. It was great having much smaller crowds during the night tour of palaces. The temperature is much gentler at night, the lights highlight all the details of the palace well and you can see lots of stars, it’s beautiful. The night tour doesn’t feel rushed at all, and it’s gentler on your feet than the day tour. Our tour guide was really nice. She gave great tips for taking photos, and was very knowledgable and went into good detail about the symbolism and differences between the Arab and Catholic architecture. She was able to answer all of our questions well. It is more difficult to take great photos at night time on a phone camera though. We also did feel that the tour should have had the option to start a bit earlier. But, it was still a fantastic tour, well worth the money. Everyone should do this tour and the day tour including General Life. I’d happily go again!

Truly a magical experience - together with our guide Alba, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Granada. We had visited the monument during the day before but found the evening tour much mor enjoyable as it was less crowded and the weather more bearable. We were also very very lucky to have Alba as our guide for the tour (what a beautiful person inside and out!!) as she was so kind to our family and showed us an immense passion she had in the local history. Would love to do the tour again next time we are in Granada!
