An emblematic site of Granada, the Alhambra, with its magnificent gardens, its elegant palaces and its military fortress, deserves to be explored carefully. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage site at a more leisurely pace—and ask as many questions as you like—on this private tour, with a guide tailored specifically for your group. You'll learn about Andalucia's rich Moorish culture, the Spanish conquest, and more, while admiring the city's spectacular views.
This is a complete tour of the Alhambra (tickets included): for approximately 2.5-3 hours we will show you what is considered by many to be the most impressive monument in Spain. We will start by visiting the Generalife, an area of magnificent gardens and orchards where the Sultan had a palace which he used for his personal pleasure. After the Generalife, we will go to see the Palace of Charles V, a Christian palace in the heart of the Alhambra that will not leave you indifferent. In the Alcazaba, the defensive-military area, we will have the chance to enjoy what is probably the best view of the city, and finally we will visit the Nasrid Palaces, the center of the political and bureaucratic administration of the Kingdom of Grenade.
Personal and private place of the Sultan for the recreation, the leisures, the religion... having also agricultural functions, its splendid gardens are one of the preferred places of the visitors.
Center of power of the kingdom of Granada: administration, justice, private dependencies... the Nasrid palaces represent the splendor of the kingdom.
The origin of the Alhambra, the first construction on this hill. The Alcazaba, with a military vocation, will leave you speechless with its breathtaking views of the city.
Private tour of the Alhambra entrances included lasts about 3 hours. The itinerary has 4 stops.

Very well organized tour with Marco as guide. He has adapted to the fact that we have a 7-month-old baby. Duration of the perfect visit. Very pleasant, friendly, Marco is passionate, he tells the story by living it. Thank you to him for this great time together.
Just...wow. I wish it were possible to give more than 5 stars for this wonderful tour! My mother and I had such a great time with Carlos, our amazing guide. He was simply outstanding in every regard, and we felt so lucky to explore the Alhambra with him. All communication with Matias beforehand was prompt and thorough - much appreciated. This was truly the highlight of our time in Spain so far. Could not recommend more highly!!!
Thank you veeery much for appreciating the professionalism and excellence of our guides and the quality of our services. We hope to see you again soon on any of our tours in Spain!
Alone we would have never understood as much about Alhambra. It was easy and the reminders great, meeting place easy to find and the perfect amount of time. And Edwardo amazing guide!!
Thank you very much for sharing your opinion with us! We are delighted that you enjoyed the Alhambra tour so much and the knowledge and company of Eduardo, one of our 5 star guides! Alhambra is a amazing place, but it's always better with a great guide ;) We hope to see you again very soon in another of our tours in Spain!
We were fortunate enough to have experienced a private tour with Debora who was incredibly knowledgeable, obviously very passionate of the history of the Alhambra and Granada, and is full of personality. Debora made our morning tour the best experience of our 6 week travels in Spain and Portugal. Go early to beat the crowds and ask for Debora!
Alhambra was on the bucket list. Just seeing the outside does not do it justice. The inside is where the real story is. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and personalized it for us. I would highly recommend – if your budget allows – to take a private rather than large group tour. The guide can adjust to your pace, answer your questions, and point out things, unique to you as a family, that would be of interest. Eduardo was knowledgeable, nice, and excellent.
He highly recommended this visit and especially doing it with a professional guide. There is no way you can say that you visited Granada and not make this visit
Our family of 4 had traveled to Spain for a 10-day trip and an Alhambra tour was a "must see" during our visit. Our main point of contact, Matias, was quick with replies and instructions leading up to our visit on May 16. When the day arrived, we had an amazing, guided tour of Alhambra, Palaces and Generalife from our tour guide, Edu (Eduardo), as had been planned. Edu is a local guide who lives in Granada and despite being a native Spanish speaker, has mastery of the English language and was able to describe nuanced details and history of the site without hesitation. Edu met us punctually at the agreed meeting point just outside the gate and proceeded to review the history of the site with some helpful visual aids before he took us inside the gates. The fast-track tickets helped us bypass lines and queues that delayed other visitors. Edu knew many of the staff within the walls of Alhambra which gave us the confidence that our guide has spent significant time on the site. Once inside, he guided us efficiently through the different areas of the sprawling property, highlighting features and histories likely uncovered by the large groups. Edu has a background in botany and natural sciences, which was especially helpful in describing the natural landscape and farming traditions within the walls of Alhambra. He also has a deep understanding of the complex and innovative water conveyance strategies used at the site throughout time. His insights in these areas were especially interesting. As we toured without the need for microphones and earbuds, the tour was very intimate and personalized. Edu was more than happy to indulge our party by taking photos of us at certain vantage points whenever we asked. Edu proceeded at a great pace through the site and was always mindful of the best times to walk through certain areas and was always able to budget time wisely to allocate more time in areas of importance and historical significance. I suspect we may have exceeded the allotted time for our tour, but Edu led us through the entire site during the extended visit and took time to answer all of our questions. Our family can recommend working with this team without hesitation. Matias and specially Edu made this part of our visit to Spain easy and enjoyable.
We so enjoyed our experience with Edu at the Alhambra Palace. We learned so much about the history of the palace and its beautiful gardens as they evolved over the centuries. Having grown up in Granada studying history & landscaping at the university, Edu was a wealth of information. He went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Edu (and Matias at Tanat Travel for being so patient and helpful.)
Our guide gave a fantastic tour. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us a great understanding and experience during our visit to the Alhambra. The site is so big we would have really missed out on seeing and learning a lot without our guide. Would recommend anyone visiting to use Yannat for their tour!
Our guide Edu made our tour of Alhambra a very memorable experience. He was very passionate about the history and the physical preservation of the site. His easy going nature and story telling skills brought it to life for us. We were pleasantly surprised at how cost effective the tour was. Nothing beats a private tour customized to our pace and interests. We highly recommend this company and Edu!
