Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite being early in the morning on Labor Day, was very pleasant and entertaining, a constant source of information and very interesting. Without Carlos Fuentes, the tour of the Alhambra would have been a tedious and lackluster experience, with so much to see but little explanatory information about it...Thank you very much, Carlos, for an unforgettable Alhambra experience!

Hector was amazing. He was super knowledgeable on Spain's history and the importance and history of the Alhambra. He was also very engaging. Money and time well spent.
I have been to the Alhambra four times prior but without a guide. Always loved it. This time with JJ as our guide was the most enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and passionate to this magical place.
Everything went really well and we had a great tour. With a small group of 8 people, it was easy to explore the Alhambra.

Our guide, Francis was fantastic. We were a mixed English and German group and he was able to effortless switch between both languages. His knowledge and insightful information about the Alhambra was amazing and we learnt so much.
Interesting, well-documented visit. Very pleasant guide for this splendid place. However, the guide was very difficult to find among the other guides, as there was no distinctive sign and the meeting place was not appropriate.

We were fortunate to have a guide, Antonio, who took us through the tour telling us every little detail of the Alhambra's monumental complex. All with great competence and passion, and even a hint of irony scattered here and there along a three-hour-long tour.

The Alhambra - from the outside you have no idea how large the total area is. 150,000 square meters full of beautiful gardens and imposing buildings. The palace of the Nasrids is the absolute highlight. Our tour guide Rachel gave us a great account of the history and the Alhambra.

Excellent experience. The guide was very clear and made us feel as if the Alhambra was alive. I also recommend to visit the Nazari palaces and get the tickets at least 5 months in advance.

We had a really nice guide, Sara, she knew a lot of things about Alhambra and answered all our questions. There was a break at the middle of the tour which was perfect. The weather was super hot I recommend bringing a water bottle and sunscreen.
The tour was very good. Their Google Maps address for the meeting point was not good, as it was wrong and misleading. You should definitely change that.

Ample time was taken. A pleasant guide who was sufficiently narrated and knowledgeable. He gave us a nice and interesting tour for 3 hours.

Punctuality and the commitment of the guide. However, we were disappointed afterwards to see that you were selling this trip at many times the original admission price!!! This is a real rip-off. This is not an advertisement for your company.

Alhambra is such a beautiful place, and the guide was essencial for us to really understand what every part was. Marta was very understanding and answered all our doubts and questions
The highlight of my visit was Julian, a very good Giude with a very good knowledge of German, who told us a lot about Arab culture. We also learned a lot about the history of the complex.

Jose was an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable and friendly! Such an amazing experience - so beautiful! This is a must do when in Granada and asknfor Jose 😊
Hector was amazing. He was super knowledgeable on Spain's history and the importance and history of the Alhambra. He was also very engaging. Money and time well spent.
The hour of the visit was changed the night before the day of the visit from 10am to 2pm and at the end of the tour we received tickets for night walk of Nasrid palaces ,but we couldn't make it because we didn't slept in Granada,this information wasn't mentioned in the voucher when we bought it,everything else was good.
The Alhambra with the Nasrid Palaces was very impressive!!! However, we had explicitly booked a guided tour in German. On site we were assigned a tour guide who gave the tour in English. When we asked about it later, we were told that not enough people had registered for a German tour... So unfortunately the tour was only okay for us. We couldn't enjoy the beauty as we had to concentrate on the English language. We also simply didn't understand many details.

I was amazed by the architecture, the history of the Nazrid Palaces and the beauty of the whole complex particularly the generalife. We visited the cathedral on the ticket which is truly magnificent but did not choose to use the transport although we could have and would have been very simple.
We went early to miss the worst of the crowds. It was worth it to walk at peace in the Generalife and enjoy the gardens, see amazing architecture and stare in awe at the structure's.
Really good booking process and the visit to the Alhambra was amazing. Definitely needed to bring the passport as there were lots of checkpoints during the visit.
Discovering Andalusia From Seville to Córdoba to then reach Granada and easily visit all the major attractions using the Granada Card (purchased with the Headout app). Following the precise information we received through e-mail, we never had any problems using the aforementioned Card, thus visiting the Alhambra in perfect autonomy, then picking up the card related to the 9 city bus trips and using the tourist train. Also with the same Granada Card we then visited the cathedral, Sacromonte Abbey and other places of interest with entrance always included in the conditions of use. For us the use of the Granada Card was very useful especially for the time saved, avoiding long lines for entrances or the hassle of having to buy tickets for public transportation, etc. Positive experience, highly recommended.

Very good organization, the place spectacular. I highly recommend visiting it. Convenient also the trip from Malaga to Granada by bus.

The Alhambra is amazing. Definitely worth while getting up early to enter at 8.30am before the tour groups arrive. We spent almost four hours admiring the palaces and the extensive gardens. Warning: there are alot of steps to climb if you want to see the wonderful views. The snow on the Sierra Nevada made a spectacular backdrop. Hadn't realised the audio guide was in digital format rather than (old fashioned) headphones.
It was amazing! We really enjoyed Alhambra and would go there again!
Easy to access with the tickets. Only passport needed to show
Everything! It is a simply magical and wonderful place!

This experience is perfect for the Alhambra. Nice gardens and view. Interesting palace. There is a need however for have adequate people for the check-in to the palace (the process was very slow - only 1 person working). Better signage is also required. The security feeling was however very ggod.
Very simple handling of the Granada Card in addition to the Alhambra the cathedral the royal chapel and also the Monastery of San Jeronimo we enjoyed very much Congratulations

What a beautiful place, and despite the fact that it's full, it's not oppressive at all! The only drawback is that there's no more room for the Nasrid palaces.

Magnificent attraction. Amazing and impressive! Signage inside is terrible. Got very confused and lost. Entered backwards in Gerealife , then couldn't figure how to get to number 1. Wasted a lot of time figuring it out. Not enough staff inside that speak English to help us
We pre-booked n Granada card at 9 a.m. and contacted via email about exact time, but never received response. The Granada card is ideal for visiting Granada.

Everything was prefectly organized, we enjoyed all the experiences. Thank you and looking forward for new advendures with you!
The information is wonderful, but the map doesn't match up with the flow of the place. It was very confusing to follow the numbers.
The format is perfect to have the tickets always in your cell phone. The only downside is that you have to get a card for transportation. It should be clearer. Best regards.

With the Granada card we were able to see the Alhambra but also enjoy the Granda bus and several other museums included in the price. It is an incredible value when visiting Granada.
Having the ticket in advance ment we knew we had a time slot booked which would have been impossible on the day. I don't think we saved any money as it would have been about the same cost to buy separate tickets and it would have been impossible to visit all the sights in 48 hours.
Great experience congratulations to all of you

Avoid the disappointment of being turned away at the gates by booking Alhambra tickets in advance. With limited daily entries, booking ahead ensures you don't miss out on exploring Alhambra.
The Palace of Carlos V is a newer addition to the Alhambra complex. It stands in stark contrast to the Moorish architecture with its Renaissance design. The Palace of Carlos V is designed around a circular courtyard with towering pillars supporting two levels. This unique architectural style symbolizes the union of heaven and earth, a central theme for Renaissance architects.
Yes, booking Alhambra tickets in advance is highly recommended and often essential. Due to the popularity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, tickets can sell out weeks or even months in advance, particularly during peak tourist seasons (April to September). Last-minute Alhambra tickets are very difficult to secure, and tickets are rarely available on the day of your visit.
No, you cannot reliably buy Alhambra tickets on the day of your visit. Finding last minute Alhambra tickets is extremely rare due to high demand and the limited daily capacity, tickets for Alhambra, especially for access to the Nasrid Palaces, tend to sell out months in advance. Booking Alhambra tickets in advance is best to avoid disappointment.
Alhambra is a historic estate and as a result it has loose stones and uneven terrain. While certain areas like the Generalife gardens have been adapted to accommodate visitors with reduced mobility. The Alcazaba area may pose challenges for those with mobility issues due to difficult access and unstable terrain.
Not all Alhambra tickets include entry to the Nasrid Palace. Visitors must specifically book tickets that allow access to this site.
When arriving at the Alhambra with a pre-booked ticket, bring a printed copy or electronic copy of your ticket confirmation, along with your passport. Other forms of identification, including government-approved IDs from other countries, are not accepted.
If Alhambra tickets are sold out, you can try purchasing a Granada Card, which includes access to Alhambra and several other attractions in Granada. Alternatively, consider booking a guided tour that includes entry, as these tours may have reserved tickets even when standard last minute Alhambra tickets are unavailable.
If tickets are sold out, consider looking for last-minute guided tours or combo tickets that include Alhambra. Guided tours and combo tickets sometimes have separate availability and can be an option to secure entry even if individual last minute Alhambra tickets are no longer available.
If you arrive late for your designated entry time, you may not be allowed entry, especially for timed entry tickets such as those for the Nasrid Palaces. It is essential to arrive on time to avoid missing your allocated entry slot.
Ideally, book several weeks or months ahead of your desired date, especially if you plan to visit during peak season (summer and major holidays). For low-season visits (October to March), you may have more flexibility, but booking Alhambra tickets in advance is still advisable to ensure your preferred entry time.
