Lucky to find these a few... - Lucky to find these a few weeks before visit date (Alhambra tickets sell out quickly) - only option that also included Nasrid Palaces. Excellent skip-the-line tour with a knowledgeable guide - ours was Amine, who had an excellent knowledge of all the components that make the Alhambra special - the history, architecture, Arabic language, and even botany in light of the various gardens on the palace grounds.

Our best private tour in the south of Spain - We had a wonderful experience touring the Alhambra with Maria as our guide. She was incredibly kind, affable, and went above and beyond to make sure our 4-year-old daughter felt included and engaged throughout the tour. Traveling with a young child can be challenging, but Maria's caring and thoughtful approach made the day so much smoother and more enjoyable for our whole family.
Her deep knowledge of the Alhambra's history was impressive, and she shared it with such clarity and passion. With limited time, she expertly prioritized the key highlights, ensuring we experienced the most meaningful parts of the Palace without ever feeling rushed.
If you're visiting the Alhambra as a family, Maria is the guide you want by your side. We’re so grateful for her warmth and expertise, and we truly hope to tour with her again when we return to Granada!

Magic of The Alhambra - Our guide, Amine, is a personable young man who has a great deal of knowledge about the Alhambra. Taking this tour at night was an excellent way to see the Alhambra not merely because we were able to evade the summer heat but also it gives the visitor a perception of magic in the space. Allow me to quote from a qasida (ode) that I read in Robert Irwin's book on the Alhambra:
And how many arches rise up in its vault supported by columns which at night are embellished by light!
You would think that they are heavenly spheres whose orbits revolve, overshadowing the pillar of dawn when it barely begins to appear having passed through the night.
You are left with that impression, particularly viewing The Court of the Lions and the Court of Myrtles.

Last minute tour was worth it despite the delayed start time - We had a wonderful tour of Alhambra. The palaces are amazing and a must see if you’re in Spain. We literally booked the tour the day before as it was the only option we could find! It was a very expensive tour but it was our only option. Our private tour guide experience was suppose to start at 11:30 and after waiting for our guide and him not showing up we had to call the tour company and find out it was pushed back to 4pm! This was a real inconvenience as we are traveling with a 7 and 9 year old. We ended up touring around Granada and enjoyed it but we were definitely tired when the 3 hour tour of Alhambra started, so that was less than ideal. Not sure why the tour was pushed back so late. It would have been nice to know the tour was pushed back the night before as we traveled 2 hours to get to Granada. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was nice to be able to ask any questions we wanted. He was a bit hard to understand though. It was a very expensive tour but overall we are happy we did it as we may never have a change to get back to that part of the world again and in the long run the memories and photos are worth more that the price we paid and the inconvenience of the delayed tour. It was an incredible experience.

Last minute cancellation AGAIN - If you are booking a tour less than a month ahead, there is an extremely good chance you will be cancelled about 30-60 minutes before the start of the tour. Even if you book longer ahead, there is still a chance you will be cancelled at the last minute. This tour operator massively overbooks compared to the allocation of tickets it can get and does not care about the disappointment and angst it causes people. If you are cancelled at the last minute, you have no hope of getting a ticket at short notice. Unfortunately this isn't the only tour operator that acts like this. Crown Tours is another and I'm sure there are many others.
