About this tour
A private three-hour guided tour through Granada's Alhambra, Spain's most significant Islamic palace complex, with entrance tickets included. Your guide navigates the intricate courts, fountains and tilework whilst explaining the site's layered history.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the Alhambra and spend three focused hours moving through the palace's principal rooms and courtyards. Expect detailed commentary on the carved stucco, geometric patterns and water features that define the site's 14th-century design. The pace is leisurely—there's time to absorb the spaces rather than rush between them. Once the guided portion ends, you're free to use your additional tickets at other Granada sites on the same day or later, moving through them solo. The Science Park and religious buildings each require their own entry routines but are straightforward to navigate.
Good to know
Bring water and comfortable shoes for the palace's many corridors and outdoor areas. Your guide will direct you to public transport links for reaching other monuments. The Alhambra itself involves gentle slopes rather than steep climbs, and prams are accommodated. Food and drinks aren't included, so plan meal breaks separately.
