Itinerary
Set of historical gardens from various periods and their palatial buildings, some from the Nasrid period.
They are the residences that the different sultans of the Nasrid period used for themselves and their court. There are three main areas, independent but connected to each other: Mexuar, Palacio de Comares and Palacio de los Leones.
The oldest venue and therefore the first to be built. This enclosure, in addition to protecting the sultan, contained an entire miniature city to house the royal service and the sultan's guard.
The most beautiful Spanish Renaissance palace was built in the middle of the Alhambra as a symbol of victory of the empire that defeated the last Muslim kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula.
We must not miss visiting the Palacio del Partal, from which it takes its name, and contemplate the pond next to it, and the Torre de las Damas, the only remains that have been preserved of it.

Worthwhile tour to learn history of the Alhambra. Note the meeting point is in the parking lot, at the bottom of a flight of stairs.
Marta was a great guide and we enjoyed the slow paced friendly walk. We were a small group so plenty of time to chat and take pictures. It was hot but we took breaks and didnt feel rushed at all despite the crowds.
Marta, our guide, a 10. She made the tour very enjoyable and interesting. The 3 hours flew by. Punctuality and seriousness in the service.
Eva was fantastic! She had a lot of great insight on the Alhambra and its history. I would highly recommend this tour.
Marta is a fantastic guide and so polite. The best possible Alhambra tour.
We were lucky to have Marta Soler as our guide for the tour of the Alhambra, particularly the Alcazaba, with the Generalife palace and its magnificent gardens. The visit with Marta was very enjoyable — she was always available to kindly answer every question we asked, and she gave us all the time we needed to admire the beauty of this magnificent historic site at our own pace. Thank you once again, Marta, for this unforgettable experience.
Lots of walking. Almost 5kms. Bring lots of water. Guide was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.
The tour of Ana was interesting and informative. Recommended!
Excellent, knowledgeable guide, amiable, attentive to needs, open to questions, very pleasant experience. However, we bought tickets in Canada, were charged in American dollars but were not informed of this fact. Annoying, costly and underhanded. Will not use your service again.
The Good: The guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the history and workings of the Alhambra. The Bad: Admin is really scrambled. At least two tour members were turned away at the entrance because their tickets were misprinted, and at least one at the Nasrid Palaces because their ticket printed with a completely different, earlier time slot than everyone else’s. The tour ticket can be refunded but some people organize a trip to Granada mainly or solely because they want to see the Alhambra, so something like this can be devastating for them.
