Guide was very well prepared with additional sound equipment (really nice experience - no issues in hearing the guide). Carlos was just on point with all informations about what we were watching. Not to much speaking, which can often bother in viewing. But he explained all the aspects and history of Alhambra and Granada. Was always happy and able to answer any questions we had.”

15.Guided Walking Tour of the Alhambra in Granada

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 863 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $78

Explore Granada’s Alhambra with an English-speaking guide, visiting the Nasrid Palaces, Patio de los Leones, Generalife gardens, Medina, Partal, and Alcazaba. The assigned start time comes after booking, so check it carefully before planning the rest of your day.

“Be aware that the time for your visit will be assigned AFTER payment is applied. Unfortunately, the way this tour appears in Viator makes it hard to know the time you’ll be able to enter. This is an issue because you will have no recourse if the time assigned by the vendor to the tickets you are billed for does not suit your schedule. Buy direct from The Alhambra to avoid the issue you could face based on aviator’s misrepresentation.”
