Pass By: Play Granada, Carrera del Darro, 1, Albaicín, 18010 Granada, Spain
We start here!
Stop At: The Alhambra, Calle Real de la Alhambra, s/n Palacio de Carlos V, 18009 Granada Spain
A breathtaking masterpiece of Moorish artistry, frozen in time. Each stone in this palatial fortress whispers tales of sultans and poets, echoing the rhythms of a bygone era. The Alhambra isn't just a monument; it's a tapestry of history, woven with the threads of architectural brilliance and cultural fusion. As you stroll through its corridors, you'll be enveloped by the intricate Islamic art, grand archways, and reflective pools, all harmoniously blending with the lush greenery of the Generalife Gardens. The Alhambra stands as a testament to human creativity, its walls adorned with delicate arabesques, its spaces filled with the light and shadow play of latticed windows. Here, every courtyard tells a story, every garden sings a poem, and every view is a painting brought to life. This isn't merely a visit; it's a journey through time, an encounter with the soul of Granada, and an experience that will linger in your memory long after you've left its enchanting embrace.
Duration: 3 hours
Pass By: Alcazaba, Calle Real de la Alhambra Conjunto Monumental de la Alhambra y el Generalife, 18009 Granada Spain
Discover the Alcazaba, the oldest part of the Alhambra, a fortress of stories etched in stone. As you traverse its ramparts, you're not just walking - you're journeying through centuries. Witness the stronghold where sultans once surveyed their realm, a place where history's echo is almost tangible. The Alcazaba stands as a sentinel of time, its robust towers and battlements narrating tales of strategic might and timeless views over Granada. Each step here is a step back in time, amidst the remnants of Moorish grandeur and whispers of ancient secrets. This isn't just a visit; it's a foray into the heart of a bygone era, a chance to stand where kings stood, and see what they saw - a panoramic vista of a city that once pulsated with the life of a vibrant civilization. The Alcazaba is more than an attraction; it's a bridge to the past, inviting you to explore, discover, and be awed.
Pass By: Palace of Carlos V, Alhambra, 18009 Granada Spain
Step into the grandeur of the Palace of Charles V, an architectural jewel nestled within the Alhambra. This Renaissance masterpiece contrasts with its Moorish surroundings, yet harmonizes through its sheer elegance. Its circular courtyard, a marvel of symmetry, whispers of a fusion between cultures and epochs. As you wander its expansive halls, you're enveloped in an ambiance of regal splendor, where every column and cornice tells a story of power, art, and ambition. The palace is not just a monument; it's a testament to a king's vision and a crossroads of history, where the Renaissance's bold lines meet Andalusia’s spirit. This is more than a visit; it's an encounter with history, a dance through time in one of Europe's most unique royal residences. The Palace of Charles V invites you to witness the legacy of a king's dream, etched in stone and time.
Pass By: Generalife Realejo-San Matias, 18009 Granada Spain
The Generalife Palace, an oasis of tranquility and beauty, awaits your discovery. This enchanting retreat of Nasrid kings is a masterpiece of Islamic garden architecture, where nature and design merge in serene harmony. Stroll through its lush gardens, where the air is perfumed with jasmine and the sound of flowing water from elegant fountains soothes the soul. The palace's architecture, with its intricate Arabesque details and light-flooded courtyards, embodies a paradise on earth. Each pathway leads to a new discovery, be it a hidden alcove or a stunning vista of the Alhambra. In the Generalife, time slows down, allowing you to savor the peaceful ambiance of a bygone era. Here, history is not just seen but felt through the whisper of leaves and the gentle caress of a Mediterranean breeze. The Generalife Palace is more than a historical site; it's a sensory journey into the heart of Andalusian splendor.

Booking the tour online was very straightforward. Even when our tour was brought forward by an hour, there was no problem. Meeting point at St. Anna church on Plaza Nueva was easy to find. Our guide, Maria Carmen, was fantastic. She gave us all the information we needed without telling us too much so that we lost interest. She was friendly and enthusiastic and really made the visit so much more enjoyable than if we had visited the Alhambra on our own. Would definitely recommend this tour and tour guide to others.

I payed $498.42 before we left the US because I really wanted to see the Alhambra in Granada and I could not find any other tour that had tickets available. I thought this was a lot of money but I thought that it was worth it since I was able to get the tickets. The tour is called “Alhambra tickets last Minute Deals” As it turns out the admission tickets to Alhambra only included going to see the gardens we did not have tickets to go inside the Palace. Right before the time to start the tour it started raining very heavily. We had a hard time finding the meeting place but once we arrived we were given our tickets that showed that the entrance cost 10 Euros. How can they pay $20 Euros per couple and turn around and charge us $498.42? The young man that conducted the tour was not bad however he made us walk up the hills under a rain storm and 45 degree F temperature. We could hardly pay attention to what he was saying because we were trying to stay warm. I think he could have waited until the rain was calmer before starting the tour. We are feeling very disappointed and taken advantage of. I never expected this from a tour that we booked on this site. I have had very good experiences with all the other tours I have booked with Viator.

Viator advertises free cancellation, however this tour isn't cancellable or even changeable! We asked to cancel/change two weeks before our arrival and were not allowed. This immensely inconvenienced us as for over 600$ for the 2 of us joining a group tour (24 in the group) we had to arrange our trip around this booking. The tour was ok not even close to worth the money. I will never book with viator again for false advertising. With this large group there was no reason for them to charge this amount and no reason two weeks ahead to not allow a change.

Great Guide and very complete tour. Going to Spain and not visiting Alhambra is unforgivable. Take the time to do it.

Excellent tour, I would definitely recommend! We were a small group, our guide Mario shared lots of interesting facts without overwhelming us with history and details (it was a short tour). We got our questions answered and received recommendations for various places / activities. I do not think I would have visited most of the places on my own. Overall, I had a very good time!
