Your tour begins in the serene Generalife Gardens, the summer retreat of the Nasrid rulers. As you stroll through these beautifully landscaped gardens, you'll be surrounded by vibrant flowerbeds, ornate fountains, and lush greenery. The garden terraces offer stunning views of Granada and the picturesque countryside, setting a tranquil tone for your experience.
Next, you'll visit the Alcazaba Fortress, the oldest part of the Alhambra. This robust structure stands as a testament to the strategic prowess of the Nasrid Kingdom. Climb the Torre de la Vela for breathtaking views of the Alhambra complex and the city of Granada below, and learn about the fortress's crucial role in the defense of the kingdom.
The highlight of your tour still awaits as you enter the renowned Nasrid Palaces. Here, you'll be mesmerized by the exquisite Islamic art and architecture that adorns every corner. From the intricate tilework and stucco decorations in the Mexuar to the serene ambiance of the Court of the Myrtles, each space tells a unique story. The Hall of the Ambassadors, with its grand geometric patterns and calligraphy, and the iconic Court of the Lions, with its central fountain supported by twelve marble lions, will leave you in awe. Your tour culminates with visits to the Hall of the Two Sisters and the Hall of the Abencerrajes, each featuring its own unique charm and historical significance. Throughout your journey, our expert guide will share fascinating insights and little-known stories, enriching your experience and deepening your appreciation for this historical masterpiece.
Cristina Del Arbol Maroto was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, skillfully avoided large groups, knew all the right places to take the best photos and took many great photos that included the tour participants for them.
The Alhambra is an amazing site and highly recommend the site with a tour. Our guide Ana was very knowledgeable and her English was excellent. Her delivery was a little flat.
Sabine was very insightfull and caring. Knowledgeable about the bigger context and lighting up detail. She’s the best.
Thankyou Ana, we really enjoyed the tour, excellent commentary and very well paced.
The Alhambra is truly beautiful everyone should visit it. We decided to join a guided tour to get a deeper understanding of the history and stories behind and we are glad we did! Our guide Cristina Del Arbol Maroto is wonderful! She told us so many little details and histories about the Alhambra. Gave us sufficient time to take pictures, toilet breaks etc. everything is well paced. We booked thru viator and the operating company is city wonders. It’s a small group tour and there were only 8 of us which is just the right size. Would recommend to everyone!
Very knowledgeable guide-Ana,and well paced well paced
Fantastic tour of the Alhambra! We learned many fascinating facts and discovered little details and hidden gems we would have never noticed on our own. The tour was insightful, entertaining, and full of humour. A special thank you to Gustavo, our wonderful guide, for his knowledge, great sense of humour, and engaging storytelling :) He made the whole experience truly memorable! Highly recommended!
The tour was amazing and worth every penny. Me and my wife learnt a lot. Gus has a real gift for telling a story with plenty of funny jokes and fun facts about the place, Grenada and Spain itself. Thank you Gustavo!

Fantastic tour around the Alhambra with plenty of interesting facts, jokes and good pacing. The guide Gustavo was amazing and had an intimate knowledge of everything. Tour was about 3 hours, conducted in a small group with earpieces
Gus was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and funny as well! Would highly recommend 👌
Our guide Christina was exceptional
The operators cancel 4 days before the trip. I get a sense that they don't understand people make entire trip plans around tours like these. Alhambra tickets are limited and recovering from a tour-operator last minute cancellation is very difficult. My counsel is to book very last minute with them, or stay away from this particular one. I know I will.
Well organized and informative tour of this fabulous monument. Gus was a great guide and shared the history in an entertaining manner. I wouldn’t have appreciated what I was seeing without the tour guide. Highly recommend.
Wonderful visit at the Alhambra with our guide Cristina del Arbil Maroto. There’s a lot of people visiting but we had a good flow and shared a lot of details. I loved the stories especially. It’s definitely more meaningful to have a guide share everything with you! Highly recommend. Bring a jacket/layers as it’s cooler but also lovely when you’re in the sun.
The tour with Sabina was amazing. She is so nice and we loved the tour with her!
Tour guide Sabina is really amazing, friendly and has a very high discipline.

Fantastic especially Christine who was wonderful, taking care of us & fitting the tour according to our pace of me & my friends who have knee problems. Everything was explained clearly and at no time did we feel hurried in any way. Admission fees were reasonable. Length on the short side - perhaps fours would be preferable.
