A definite "never to miss" tour of this incredible historical site. Book it!!

We were so excited to return to the Alhambra after 59 years and this tour triggered many good memories. Our guide was informative throughout the tour; the gardens and the palace. She didn't miss any of the historical facts relating to the hundreds of years of occupancy and her commentaries were exceptional. Traveling during mid-June provided excellent weather and minimal crowds. If you are visiting Granada, schedule this tour early so as not to miss one of the best historical sights in Spain.

Loved This Tour

I loved the Alhambra tour. Our guide, Antonio, explained the history and beauty of the place with a sincere passion. He was also very patient with those who had disabilities as well as those who had ticket issues.

Granada visit

First time to visit. A bit chaotic at the meeting point, but fine when we got going. Antonio, our Guide was very good and entertaining. Could have done with a Coffee break after 2 Hour not two.

Very informative visit, with a guide who speaks French well.

Visit recommended in the morning during the summer season, and an interesting museum to visit as well (check the days and hours of operation).
