Itinerary
Admission included60 min
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex, constructed in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls.
Thanks to a professional guide, you will learn this and many more important facts about this complex. In addition, you will be able to visit the different buildings that comprise the Alhambra, while you learn in the most pleasant way!
Admission included60 min
It is a villa that dates from the beginning of the 14th century and was used as a summer Palace by the Nasrid rulers of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus
15 min
The Palace of Carlos V is the former residence of the emperor, in Renaissance style, with a large interior patio.
Pass by
The Gardens of the Adarves are so named because they are located on the lower walkway of the fortress and it is one of the places from which you can admire one of the most beautiful landscapes in the city.

Scam: Tour cancelled 3h before!
SCAM!! We did not participate in any tour because the visit to the Alhambra was cancelled 3 hours before the start, despite booking through GetYourGuide weeks before. The reason was a technical problem, which was denied at the entrance to the tourist attraction - we simply assume that the tickets were never purchased. We could not see the Alhambra because of this agency, nor was an alternative date proposed. Stay away from me!
Operator response

Unexpectedly canceled tour leaving us stranded
The tour company canceled our tour of Alhambra and Nasrid Palace a week before the date, leaving everyone stranded and without tickets (which were impossible to get). I strongly recommend avoiding this company.
Operator response
Dear andyyS, we regret the inconvenience caused, when due to a last-minute logistical incident it is not possible to offer a tour on the reserved date, we propose an alternative date and, if negative, the corresponding refund. Please contact us at the following email if you have not received a response calidad@amigotours.com.

Don't book with them, they will ruin your holiday.
We booked the tour of Alhambra with Nasrid Palace eight weeks before our visit on 11th October. Two weeks before the visit, we were informed that the schedule was changed to 11th October and there would be NO Nasrid Palace (important part of our visit). We tried other agents but by then Alhambra was fully booked. Our holiday was completely ruined. Be warned, do not book with this agent. Sadly I only read the reviews after my booking.
Operator response
Dear Murtaz, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused, Indeed, due to logistical reasons, we could not guarantee your access to the Nasrid palaces and we informed you of the available alternative in advance. Likewise, we have already proceeded with the request for your partial refund. Kind Regards from Amigo Tours.

Poor content and not as advertised
Was very disappointed in this tour. I had searched for a long time for a guided tour that included the Nasrid Palaces, and we were able to meet up with the guide easily, which I was worried about having read other reviews here. However despite being advertised as an English tour, it was bilingual and our guide Sandra spent most of the time speaking in Spanish and only translating very little into English. As a Spanish speaker, I know she only translated about 20% of her explanation into English, leaving the rest of my family very bored. This is my second time visiting the Alhambra, and compared to the previous tour I went on, Sandra also did not explain sufficiently about the Nasrid period when the Alhambra was built and gave random facts about its modern history instead. All in all, we were disappointed in this service and would not recommend it to first time travellers.
Operator response
Dear Hanaa_H,
We deeply regret that the tour did not meet your expectations, thanks for taking the time to let us know your feedback, it means a lot to us. We will be working hard on our flaws so you can give us another chance in the future.
