Alhambra small group tour

The small group tour of the Alhambra Granada was definitely worth the money. Georgia who led our group was very interesting and knowledgeable. The Nasrid Palaces in particular were amazing and the General Life Gardens were beautiful and welcomely cool in the heat. Unfortunately we visited just after an earthquake and the fortress was closed for safety reasons as well as a couple of rooms within the palaces however this did not spoil our enjoyment of the afternoon. Highly recommend

Amazing

Be well rested, well fed and wear comfortable shoes. This was an experience of a life time. Our guide was a young historian. She gave us so much wonderful information about the history Alhambra from its very beginning, its construction and total history. I so enjoyed this excursion and it is a lot of walking and the place was packed. The history is just amazing. I have so much to learn still about this beautiful place. It has really piqued my interest and curiosity. You will not regret it.
