About this tour
Escape the queues with a private guide through Granada's Alhambra, departing from Nerja. Over eight to nine hours, your dedicated driver collects you from your accommodation and shuttles you to this Moorish masterpiece, where you'll tour the intricate Nasrid Palaces, wander the Generalife's terraced gardens, and climb through the Alcazaba fortress before spending three hours exploring Granada's medieval lanes, cafés, and shops at your own pace. Return to Nerja at day's end with skip-the-line access and expert insight.

What to expect
Your driver arrives at your lodging and handles the 45-minute drive to Granada. Upon arrival, your private guide greets you and walks you through the palace's ornate rooms, water features, and Islamic tilework—no herded groups, no rushing. The Nasrid Palaces demand attention; the Generalife's cypress-lined paths offer respite. You'll finish the structured tour by early afternoon, leaving three unscheduled hours to drift through narrow Albaicín alleyways, sample local tapas, or browse artisan shops. It's unhurried exploration, not sightseeing theatre.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; the palace involves stairs and uneven stone floors. Bring sun protection and water. Tickets are included, but lunch, drinks, and shopping are not. Service animals welcome; prams available for infants. Suitable for all fitness levels, though the Alcazaba involves climbing.
