Itinerary

After being picked up from your central Seville hotel, make an early start and head east to Granada. Soak up the scenery as you wind through the Sevillian countryside, passing pretty villages such Estepa, Antequera and Loja, and listen as your guide offers an introduction to Andalusia’s rich heritage.

On arrival in Granada, make a beeline for the city’s most renowned landmark, the magnificent Alhambra Palace, a mighty palace-fortress built in the 13th century and perched on a hilltop between Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Learn how the vast complex of palaces was once home to the Nasrid dynasty as you follow your guide around the lavish Nasrid Palace, discover the ruins of the Alcazaba fortress and stroll around the idyllic Generalife Gardens.

Leaving the palace grounds behind, continue to the old Moorish quarter of Albaicin, where you can marvel at the distinctive architecture and enjoy spectacular views of the Alhambra. Back in central Granada, enjoy free time to take in the city sights independently, shop for souvenirs or tuck into lunch (own expense) at one of the many traditional tapas bars.

After a full-day exploring the city, journey back to Seville, where your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

A wonderful day in Granada and the Alhambra

Dorothy_O, Feb 2025

It was a wonderful experience. It was a private tour for 4 of us girlfriends. Lucca our driver was an excellent guide too on the trip- sharing the land’s history and very passionate about it. He answered our questions thoroughly but we also managed to share laughs along the way. He recommended a very good restaurant for lunch always giving us several options. We then were guided in the Alhambra tour by Nina the local guide. She was also excellent and entertained us thoroughly with her stories of the history of the place , its beauty and its secrets. Overall, we were tired at the end of the tour as it was a long day but it was well worth it. Highly Recommend!

Angry, disgusted... paid for a PRIVATE' tour, well we were not on a private tour, worst the other group speaks French so the guide has to translate it to English and then to French which was taking the whole tour very loooong! We all got restless and annoyed, 'twas the longest tour ever. The tour guide??? Was the lousiest guide I've had, he doesn't listen, it was raining, we told him -- let's stop by a souvenir shop so we can buy umbrellas, he wont, he kept going with his umbrella, while we are soaking wet. He even had an argument with a fellow tour guide. LOUSIEST TOUR I'VE EVER HAD.

Sylvia R, Aug 2016

Our driver Nicholas picked us up promptly at our hotel and drove us to Granada. We felt very comfortable and safe in his van, and he answered our many questions about the area. We spent some time touring the Albaicin with him and enjoying viewing the Alhambra from the San Nicolas viewpoint-breathtaking! Nicolas helped us get our suitcases delivered to the Paradores San Francisco inside the Alhambra, then introduced us to our private tour guide. Jose was an outstanding guide, so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Alhambra. It was incredible place to visit, and though a very warm day, we loved every minute of it. I would most definitely recommend this tour.
