Excellent tour which we would thoroughly recommend. Asier was very knowledgeable & gave us a wonderful insight into the history of the Alhambra & it’s many occupants over the years. Well worth the money.

My son and I just returned from our weeklong trip in Spain and one of our highlights was our amazing tour of the Alhambra with Asier. Asier was an excellent tour guide who gave us an fascinating look at the Alhambra's history, architectural features, gardens, and palace intrigue. In addition, he answered all our many questions and took National Geographic quality photos of us and the palace. If you want a fascinating tour of Alhambra with a knowledgeable tour guide who is a top notch photographer and nice guy, look no further. Thanks again Asier!
Asier is amazingly knowledgeable about the Alhambra and it’s history. He kept the tour moving with interesting stories and anécdotes. It was a full 3 hours with a short rest break in the middle.
Asier was amazing! We travel a lot and usually get a guide for most excursions. Asier, was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. The Alhambra was spectacular thanks to Asier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.
Asier was wonderful. He’s extremely knowledgeable and communicates very well. He taught us a lot about the history of the Alhambra and of Spain (we thought we knew a lot about Spain…). He discussed the architecture and its purpose, the way the gardens and reflecting pools are organized, and lots more. We considered visiting without a guide, but it would have been a mistake. We would have missed so much about the history and significance of the palace and generally the Muslim period in Spain. Gracias Asier!
This was an outstanding tour! Asier was an incredibly knowledgeable guide and so pleasant. His tour was wonderful and worth every penny to have our own private guide. Alhambra is special and we loved the tour!
Just an absolutely incredible private tour through the Alhambra. Great communication with the guide from beginning to end. So knowledgeable about every aspect of the Alhambra. Not just the architecture but the true history about the place and the historic figures who shaped it over the years. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Would actually do it all over again tomorrow!
I was traveling alone with my 5 year old and am very glad I chose a private tour rather than group. With this age of a child, I would rather have no tour than a group tour. So, I was thankful to find a private one at a fiar price. Our guide, Jaime, did a great job balancing my interest in the history and architecture while also engaging my child in conversation. He was very friendly and patient, and he made it easy to navigate the entrance times and such.
Asier is one of the best guides I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. He was able to take a site exploding with history, and organize it to offer the most essential ideas for a gripping 3 hour journey. I've had friends go to the Alhambra without a guide who found the Alhambra overwhelming from the size needing to spend 5-6 hours meandering around the grounds. But with Asier's expertise we got a really excellent experience and walked away with a rich grasp on the context through which it was built and the thought processes behind all the design. Feel very lucky we found Asier and highly recommend him to anyone coming to Granada. Wish we had thought to book even more tours with him, and if we come back to Granada surely we will :)
We had a great experience touring the Alhambra with Asier as our guide! He was very knowledgeable and provided interesting commentary throughout. He expertly guided us through the Alhambra providing suggestions for getting amazing photos, which we greatly appreciated! We highly recommend this tour with Asier!
Our guide, Javier, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and shared lots of good information. He provided us with an easy place to meet. Of all the tours we had on our 11 day cruise, he was by far the best.
Asier was a wonderful guide. He answered all our nitty gritty questions and made Alhambra come to life!
Our tour with Asier was amazing! The private tour is how you need to go while visiting the most beautiful UNESCO location in all of Spain-the Alhambra. You get to ask all the questions (silly or not) that you can’t do while in a group tour! You get wonderful direct attention and assistance with pictures too! And you get a real gem of a guide if you get Asier! His background is architecture history and I think he knows his stuff! On top of it all, his English is easy to understand and follow. He’s got a sweet sense of humor and a wonderful personality. Thank you Asier, we had a fantastic time with you and was surprised when the 3 hours was up so soon!
Very interesting, authentic and entertaining tour. Kept everyone ages 7-40 entertained. Accommodated breaks for kids and very friendly. Would recommend
Alhambra is beautiful, but we appreciated the details and history more because of our excellent guide, Jaime. His knowledge of Alhambra and Granada are excellent, as is his English. Highly recommend.
This was a very well lead visit, our guide was knowledgeable, informative and fun. We were also lucky because it was a fresh spring day, so we got to really enjoy the outdoors and the gardens. This is my 2nd visit to Alhambra, and it never looses its magic.
Best tour ever! Love the history and enjoyed the private guided tour immensely. Definitely will recommend to friends!
Asier was an excellent guide. I highly recommend him if you are visiting Grenada! He speaks English perfectly and explained things in a wonderful way. We had a wonderful visit to the Alhambra with him.
Easier was fantastic! First off, we were late due to an unforseen and unfortunate road closure. He waited patiently for us and fit in the entire tour in a compressed timeframe. He was a wealth of knowledge about the Alhambra, including accurate historical data as well as other interesting stories. He answered all our questions, took wonderful photos of us, and made great suggestions for us to take our own pictures as well as where else to visit in Granada after the tour. He was courteous and professional. Recommend very highly!!
This was the perfect way to experience the Alhambra. Juan was very informative and made the buildings come alive. It was a particularly good way for our party to visit as some of us move very slowly and the private nature of the tour meant we could take things in our own time.
Truly excellent tour of the Alhambra with Asier. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the visit interesting, relevant and accessible. We learned so much that we could never have discovered without him. One of the best guides we’ve ever had - highly recommend!!!
We have been on many tours, this is the best we have been on! Our guide Asier is an art historian and knows everything. This place is so big you could never do it without guide. It gives no meaning to what you are looking at. And the bonus of being a private tour means you have his whole attention. Don’t book any other tour of the Alhambra.
What a spectacular private tour of The Alhambra with Asier… we cannot say enough positive things about him as a knowledgeable historian and guide of this important and beautiful site. If ever in Granada again, we would book with Asier again and would highly recommend him to anyone… truly one of the best guides we have experienced in our world travels.. All communication before the tour was perfect, too! Thank you, Asier, for a very special visit!
Absolutely stunning. We had a private tour with Aiser. It was expensive, but to us, well worth the cost. Asier was very knowledgeable and thorough with his information. He was attentive to our needs and interests. We spent about 3 hours going through the entire Alhambra grounds and buildings. While it was crowded, we managed to see much more than if on our own. And some hidden treasures not all may be aware of. Absolutely recommend this tour - especially if you are lucky enough to get Aiser as your guide.
What a fantastic experience - Asier brought the Alhambra to life for us…. Engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and fun; we so appreciated how he shared his passion for the history and heritage with us, and made us feel as though we spent 3 hours with a very good new friend. Thank you again!
Our guide was Ana Díaz Delgado, and she is just wonderful. She made this three hours tour for our family of six a great experience - sparkling, funny, knowledgeable in all the details she made this visit worthwhile and made the time fly by. Thank you for some remarkable hours
Asier, our guide was very knowledgeable. We learned about the history, architecture, and people that once inhabited The Alhambra. He did not rush us but guided us skillfully through the site. This was a special experience because of our guide. We highly recommend him and this tour.
Our tour guide Irene was very knowledgeable, very friendly with a beautiful smile, and very helpful. My husband needed a wheelchair due to developing gout and she met our needs and got us through the difficult parts. The palace and the grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed it immensely.
We enjoyed exploring this truly unique place with Asier, who was very knowledgeable and super nice. Thanks!
I took this route with Asier, and it was absolutely fabulous. I can’t recommend him enough. He had so much knowledge about everything we were seeing and he was able to explain everything in a really engaging and funny way. I got way more out of the visit than I had even expected to. Really, if you have a chance to take the tour with Asier, you absolutely should!
This tour me was the best way to see the Alhambra. Our guide kept well informed and on time. We were to see everything but I am sure I will remember only 10 percent of what he informed us. Great tour and I would recommend it to everyone.
Asier was so knowledgeable about Alhambra. He explained the progression of time plus the changes in the town. Perhaps one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Anyone who gets him as a guide will not be disappointed!
Fantastic tour i- Alhambra ,Nasrid Palace & Generalife well worth visiting!! Aiser our tour guide was a pleasure to be with & had extensive knowledge - learned a lot about the time of Sultans
This tour was fantastic!! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made the experience so memorable for us. First he fave us an overview of the tour sequence then went into more detail as we progressed. His knowledge of the facility and its historical significance was evident and he shared it in a way that made it interesting and fun. This is definitely a 5 star tour and we highly recommend!!
Taking a private tour is the way to go for such a large attraction with so much to see and absorb. Anna was fantastic, pointing out all the “hidden” details within the complex. You would not catch these detail without a tour :)
Our tour guide was fabulous. Super informative and pleasant. We highly recommend this tour. For sure you will not regret your day. A must do tour!!!
Anna was incredibly knowledgeable about this amazing site and offered us so much more information than we would have ever had just walking through ourselves. Plus we skipped the crazy long lines! She answered all of our many questions and even gave us great recommendations for tapas afterwards. She knew the best viewpoints and places for photos. I highly recommend booking this tour!
Must see in Granada. It was very crowded so we enjoyed having a private guide to help us maneuver easily. Asier did a great job and was incredibly knowledgeable about the Alhambra, the history of southern Spain as well as the many religions in this area.
Wonderful private tour of Alhambra with full access. Our guide, Emilio, was knowledgeable and provided an exceptional experience for us!
Asair (I may have misspelled that) was an incredible guide! I’m so glad I decided to book a private tour instead of going with a group. He was so knowledgeable (history degree) and was also a great story teller and even photographer. Of course the Alhambra is absolutely amazing and I felt our tour added so much to the experience.
The Alhambra in Granada is a huge site and needs lots of explaining! Ana gave us a most amazing and personal experience from the moment she met us at hotel reception. If Asier is half as good as as his wife Ana you will have a fantastic experience - I couldn’t recommend these guides highly enough!
We had a fantastic tour with Asier. He was extremely knowledgeable and showed us lots of things most folks didn’t realize were there. The history shared was incredible and very interesting. He also knew all the best spots and angles to capture the best pictures and architecture. Thanks for a great afternoon!
The Alhambra tour with Asier was awesome, he explains the history and art of this unique monument sharing his passion on it and turning this morning one of the best experiences I remember. Really recommendable for kids, teenagers and boring people 😜.
This was one the best tours we’ve ever taken. Hasiera was very friendly and quite informative. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide.
Absolutely extraordinary guide and location. We got a detailed review of the history and architecture of the Alhambra, even the irrigation system and plants. Great attitude, lots of fun. It's not a short tour and there's a lot of walking, but it's perfectly doable. Thank you!
Really great tour with Anna! The 3+ hours flew by! We learned so much, but it wasn’t overwhelming at all. Anna was very knowledgeable and interesting with a nice if humor—we highly recommend her.
My family and I had a great day with Asier! We did a walking tour with him in the morning visiting the city and the Albaicin, then a private tour of the Alhambra in the afternoon. Asier is very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting with tidbits you may not find elsewhere. His knowledge of the Alhambra is impeccable! You have to book him for this tour! Asier also pointed out several spots in the city for great food and desserts during our walking tour. We enjoyed all of them! 😊 Thank you, Asier, for taking us around Granada and the Alhambra!
Asier was a super host! He knows his history and explains it well. We loved being in a small private tour instead of a large one. You can ask questions and interact well. He knows the best spots for pictures including some obscure shots.
My guide had so much knowledge to share about the people who live / lived in this part of the city. It was all fascinating and new to me. Excellent experience!
A truly perfect guided tour with our family. We learned so much and appreciated how much we modified the tour to meet the needs and interest of our 5 & 6 year old kids on the tour.
