A lot of walking but absolutely worth it! Our guide Marta was knowledgeable, friend and funny. It was a beautiful place with lots of hidden pieces of history.

The tour guide was not at the designated meeting place. The guide was at a different location. And we had to go to yet another location to check in after we finally located the guide. Very poor communication and logistics. The tour started late. The guide was hard to understand. She spoke too fast and moved the group too quickly. We were very disappointed. Do not waste your money on this tour group.

The guide was a font of knowledge about everything from architecture to the gardens, the history to religion.
Jacqueline_S, Oct 2023
The entire tour was incredible! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Alhambra. We were fortunate to see the beauty of Alhambra and the palaces of Nasrid! The grounds and gardens were also beautiful and filled with history!

The 3 hour tour spent way too much time in areas that were not very interesting. I would have preferred to wander on my own and explore more. We only spent the last 25 min in the Nasrid palaces after walking around for 2.5 hours. It should probably start there.
The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the Alhambra and the various ruling eras of Granada.
Frances_W, Jun 2023
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The site is vast so a guide is very useful.
Excellent views from many locations. Fascinating history!
Jennifer_B, Mar 2023
We enjoyed our small group tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.
He didn't rush and asked any questions that were posed. The tour was 3 1/2 hours and there was lots of time to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Thanks so much to the tour guide Sow!

We’re not guided tour people but we decided to do this tour due to the size of the place and so glad we did. Our guide Isabel was very knowledgeable and friendly. She didn’t go to deep into the history but enough to understand it. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Cynthia_S, Oct 2022
This was an excellent tour, well organized and very informative. Our guide Ana spoke great English and was really enjoyable, and shared lots of interesting historical info about the Alhambra, the city of Granada, and life in the Alhambra under the sultans. I appreciated that she emphasized they were Spanish people. Very good guide and tour. Highly recommend!

Carmen is an e trembly knowledgeable tour guide. Her narration transported us back in time. She shared the rich history of the Al Hambra in an engaging manner. She was able to answer everyone’s questions and made the e experience quite memorable!
Marcia_W, Aug 2022
Our guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable and warm and always available to answer our questions. For instance, I am of Sephardic Jewish descent and he was well versed in that history, although it was not his own.
DUNIA_P, Jul 2022
What a beautiful experience. Pepa our tour guide was awesome and very informative. Warning if your going to the 1700 tour; wear comfortable clothes and stay hydrated. Will definitely do again.
MARRIUM_F, Jul 2022
I took the English tour, hearing equipment was quite handy, our guide Sergio was friendly, supportive and attentive to all, guided us throughout, most of all he gave historic details and answer our questions. kept us in shade where possible (it was 40C on the day of tour). 3 hours tours is just right pace to visit all palaces.
Frances_C, Jun 2022
Ana was a great guide - knowledgable and funny! It was great to see all three areas, to give better context to how Spaniards lived in Granada, the politics, etc.
Dana_R, Jun 2022
Great tour but be cautious, it’s a lot of walking, some up and down. A lot of steps. Wear great shoes. Important to have a great tour guide.
Lorraine_W, Jun 2022
The whole experience. One of the best guides we have ever had. Knowledgeable, friendly and most accommodating

Es un lugar para ir con guía porque si no sería imposible verlo todo y enterarte del significado de las cosas.
Nuestra guía Ana,nativa de allí y con una cultura increíble,nos hizo retroceder en el tiempo y ver cómo se construyó la alhambra,como vivieron allí y como los reyes católicos se hicieron con ella.
Un 10 por ella.
Luis_U, Oct 2024
La visita a la Alhambra ha sido una experiencia bellísima. Los jardines, la vista de la ciudad y los Palacios nos dejaron impresionados y felices de haber estado en esta visita.
Danielle_C, Oct 2024
Site exceptionnel! À voir absolument!
Guide exceptionnel, très intéressant qui connaissait très bien le site et sympathique!
Francois_C, Oct 2024
La beauté du site est époustouflante, son histoire, le système d’irrigation datant de plusieurs siècles encore en fonction de nos jours et qui irrigue la terre. Les nombreux motifs sur les murs, plafonds qui nous font voir l’historique de ces bâtiments. Une belle activité en famille qui vaut la peine d’être vécu.
