To enter the monument it is compulsory to carry the original ID card or passport.

You can access from 8:30 am until closing at 6:00 pm or 8:00 pm depending on the season. The special schedule of entrance to Palacios Nazaries is binding and strict, it can not be modified for conservation reasons.
Visitors who make reservations while staying in cities other than Granada—especially in distant cities such as Córdoba or Seville—are solely responsible for any issues that result in them arriving late for tours and forfeiting their right of access.
Reservation requests made less than 48 hours in advance generally cannot be confirmed until 12 hours before the scheduled visit time, and priority is given to visitors who can provide proof of accommodation in Granada
IMPORTANT: Your reservation is final. The regulations governing the Alhambra, issued by the Regional Government of Andalusia, expressly prohibit both cancellations and changes to the date, time, or name on reserved tickets. Therefore, we cannot accommodate requests of this nature.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 30 travelers

Guide no show

Linda_B, Mar 2026

The guide was a no show despite being told by the information centre we were in the correct spot also a Canadian couple could not find the guide

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Good afternoon, You wrote a review stating that the personal guide did not show up, THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT INCLUDE GUIDE the product includes an audio guide and we were sent instructions on how to pick it up, then tou didn´t read the information product neither the instructions. You were waiting because you didn´t read anything. Congratulations

The Alhambra blew our...

Bourdes_B, Feb 2026

The Alhambra blew our minds but the instructions on claiming the tickets were not clear. We should have been told by email the tickets would be sent in the App and to CHECK the App.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear visitors. We regret what has happened, but please note that Viator does not provide us with your email address; therefore, any complaints regarding this matter must be directed to Viator directly. We are unable to send you anything via email because Viator does not provide us with your address. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Not to be missed. Unique experience to do at least once

Good tour

Myrian_A, Oct 2025

The experience was good. We had all the tickets included. Although the audio guides are not very informative. You'd improve the audio guides.

Poorly regulated

Anouk_C, Jul 2025

Unfortunately had no good experience yesterday. We were at the meeting point at 3:30, the tour we had booked at 3 pm. The place turned out to be a parking lot, no one to be seen who looked like a guide. Asked around there, no one knew, staff got frustrated with my questions. Customer service of the tour operator not reachable and of viator via the whatsapp. By now fifteen minutes late for the tour .. not yet inside. 25 minutes after tour start I received the tickets by mail from viator, but now it was too late. Staff at the Alhambra were very difficult because we were late. Finally after much difficulty we entered, without the booked audio guide.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We are sorry to hear about your bad experience. If you had read your booking voucher, the photos of the meeting point and your tickets that you had in the Viator chat from the day before, surely nothing like what you are talking about would have happened. You did not have to wait for anyone, they were waiting for you at the Welcome visitor Center which is a building, not a parking lot. When you called and write in the chat inwhich one you had the tickets and all the information we wrote you immediately to remind you that they were waiting for them and we sent you again, for the second time their tickets and meeting point with the contact phone number. It is easy to give a bad opinion but you also have to be self-critical. You did not read anything, nor did you check their reservation or the Viator chat is having technicals problems that we don´t know, but is not our fault, we did everything correctly

Great assistance great service

All beautiful. The amber and Nasrid palaces speak for themselves do not need a review. The viator app was very reliable, the servicebassistance via whats app timely in response
