All Valencia Tours & Excursions in 2026

One of the best tours we have ever experienced! And… we have reserved lots of Viators. Our guide, Marco, was experienced, knowledgeable, and patient. Our previous trips to the Alhambra were without a guide and I feel that we really missed some of the most interesting details. Since we booked a private tour for just 4, there was plenty of time for conversation and questions. We highly recommend this tour with Marco!

It was a great overview of the city for someone on a crunched time schedule. We saw a lot of the highlights of the city and Carlos was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was evident that he loved Barcelona throughout the tour. We were only in town for a weekend and this was a great way to see highlights.

The guide had a good knowledge of the city and had a good sense of humour. He allowed enough time for any questions at each stop, the cycling was easy enough for inexperienced cyclists. The trip was good value for money and easy to find, we would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Our Alhambra experience was nothing short of magical, and Abu Bakr deserves every bit of credit for that. The journey began even before the trip itself. We booked on March 31st for April 13th, well within the 2-month window where tickets aren't guaranteed. Abu Bakr was upfront about this from day one, but assured us he'd do everything possible to secure them. True to his word, he kept us updated every couple of days without us even having to ask. Our tickets were confirmed the day before the visit. What a relief! His preparation was meticulous. He sent us a detailed video explaining exactly where the taxi drops off, how long the walk to the ticket office was, and precisely what to say when collecting tickets for our two young children. With a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old in tow, this level of detail made all the difference. On the day itself, Abu Bakr's knowledge of the Alhambra was extraordinary. This was a private tour, which meant we could ask him as many questions as we wanted and we did. He walked us through the Nasrid Palaces with incredible depth, explaining how the Sultan lived, how subjects would approach him, the symbolism behind every archway and tile. He even pulled up YouTube videos showing the centuries-old artistic process behind the intricate tilework. History came alive in a way no guidebook ever could. What truly set him apart was his humanity. Strollers aren't permitted inside the Nasrid Palaces, which meant carrying both children throughout. Without being asked, Abu Bakr quietly took our bags so we could manage the kids comfortably. When our 6-month-old needed feeding mid-tour, he guided us to a peaceful bench in the gardens, sat with us patiently for 15 to 20 minutes, and never once made us feel rushed. Yes, the price seemed a little steep when we first booked. But after the tour, every penny felt completely justified. The combination of guaranteed tickets, exceptional knowledge, genuine care for our family and a seamlessly smooth experience from start to finish made it worth every cent. The Alhambra itself is an absolute must visit. We were choosing between Seville and Granada for our itinerary and the Alhambra was the decision maker and it lived up to every expectation. If you're in Granada, do not miss it. It is breathtaking. If you're visiting the Alhambra, especially with young children, book with Abu Bakr without hesitation. He doesn't just show you a monument, he makes you feel the soul of it. One of the highlights of our entire trip to Spain.

I was initially a bit skeptical since everything seemed completely sold out, and I wasn’t sure if the tour would actually go ahead. However, in the end, we had a wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was super relaxed and friendly, while still providing a really informative and engaging experience. It was definitely worth choosing the private tour over a group or audio tour, especially as I was traveling with my older parents—it made everything more comfortable, flexible, and enjoyable for us all. Thank you so much!

I did this tour two summers ago while in Spain and I still think about this class often. So much fun making the paella!! They give you unlimited drinks too and applies and honestly, that was a nice surprise. Some tours are quite stingy with the extras. So this was wonderful! And of course, the paella was AMAZING! Definitely do it!!

Maria was an amazing tour guide. From start to finish she was very passionate and exceptionally articulate with explaining the history and significance of each part of Alhambra and the Gardens. We moved at a very good pace, where she was able to figure out how to perfectly time moving from site to site, while avoiding massive tour groups. She also was very approachable and made the tour highly valuable for the price. The weather was perfect, and overall, would highly recommend anyone to book this tour.

Lucky to find these a few weeks before visit date (Alhambra tickets sell out quickly) - only option that also included Nasrid Palaces. Excellent skip-the-line tour with a knowledgeable guide - ours was Amine, who had an excellent knowledge of all the components that make the Alhambra special - the history, architecture, Arabic language, and even botany in light of the various gardens on the palace grounds.
