We had a great time on the day tour to Granada. Our guide was really great and was a true highlight. He made the long bus ride fun. We had a good visit of the town before heading for lunch and the activities. (The lunch spot Casa Gabriel however charged my card 3 times and only realised after we left). Bus was comfortable and the Alhambra castle guide was super knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.

Full description

Depart Seville and journey to the city of Granada to take a tour of the historic Alhambra, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site (if option selected) for its cultural importance and architectural beauty.

Benefit from the services of an official tour guide and expert interpreter of the heritage of the city and fortress, built for the Nasrid emirs who ruled Spain in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Marvel at the fortifications of the Alcazaba (citadel), built to protect the city's post-Roman districts, including the Moorish suburb of "El Albayzín." Admire the beauty of the Nasrid Palaces and Generalife, the summer pleasure gardens of the Emir.

Next, drive to the center of Granada for lunch (own expense). Then, take a guided walk of the UNESCO-protected Albaicín district where the winding streets are reflective of its Medieval Moorish past.
Stroll past whitewashed houses and encounter age-old churches and flower-filled balconies. Stop to take in the spectacular panoramas over the Alhambra fortress perched on its hill. 
If option selected, explore the surroundings of the Alhambra on your own, see ancient towers and stunning views of Granada. Discover hidden paths, shaded by cypress trees, admire the Charles V Palace.
Return to Seville at the end of your historical adventure, and get dropped off at your original starting point.

Amazing guide/trip leader and amazing guide (Gus) inside the Alhambra! Nice well taken care of bus (Mercedes) and clean. Stopped for a break halfway during the drive to Granada and the same on the way back. Had lunch at Alsaicin, then went to Alhambra. Highly recommend this tour
