Run dont walk to book a tour with Julian
Julian is a Granada local and loved sharing his extensive knowledge of his home town and the Alhambra. It’s quite an overwhelming place so having Julian guide us with inside knowledge and insights was very special. 6000 visitors a day are allowed to visit, make sure you’re visit is one with Julian.

Highly recommended
The 3-hour tour with Julian was very interesting and educational! Thanks to Julian, we learned a lot of new things and certainly saw the Alhambra with different eyes than if we had visited the Alhambra without a tour guide. We can highly recommend this tour! Thanks Julian!!

Julián was a wonderful...
Julián was a wonderful guide. Very comfortable in English. Very knowledge not only about the Alhambra itself, but also about the Nasrid dynasty which built it. He was particularly good at describing the artistic and construction features of the palaces. His enthusiasm was evident, perhaps because he has not been doing this for twenty years. We would highly recommend him.

Great tour of the Alhambra with Julian
My wife and I had a tour of the Alhambra with Julian. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and was great at pointing out all the features we'd have missed if we'd gone by ourselves.
We had a lovely time, thanks to Julian. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the alhambra.

1001 Nights Palace in Granada
I booked a tour of Andalusia with my girlfriend and a stopover in Granada was planned. All I can say is that the Alhambra was gigantic and I highly recommend it. Julian gave us a lovely tour of the Alhambra and took us back in time in an exciting way. It felt like a special tour with special background information. All in all, a place steeped in history and a friendly tour guide who even studied in Germany but grew up in Granada. 5/5 stars and I highly recommend it.
