Highly Recommend a Private Tour - We highly recommend this private tour if you are willing to pay, as it is very expensive versus group tours. The more economical private tours offered directly from the Alhambra book very early and weren't available when we looked only a few weeks before our date. We feel lucky to have found this tour by a secondary operator which still offered full access of the Alhambra but at a premium. To us it was worth it because it was the only way to see the Nasrid Palaces with such short notice. Our tour guide Vanessa was amazing. She is a local Granada resident who has a passion for history, her country and the Alhambra. She was able to weave us around big tour groups and brought us through less busy walkways to go from place to place, so it didn't seem as crowded and kept us going at a faster pace. We also skipped the line in front of large tour groups that were assembled at the entrances. Our only hiccup was at the start of the tour with our meeting spot. We put the address into Apple Maps while walking from our hotel and it took us somewhere different within the free section of the Alhambra. Luckily I was able to communicate with the tour operator and our guide met us where we were. If you book the tour and wish to walk there, note that the meeting spot is at the main entrance. You should see a sign that references a generic tour meeting spot, so you'll know you're in the right spot. If we would've taken a taxi, I'm sure it would've dropped us at the right spot. And dont forget your passports... you'll need them at the entrance!

Excellent guide and great experience - Abubakr was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. The company went above and beyond to meet our time restrictions and we are very grateful for that. We learned a tremendous amount about the history, architecture, and life of the Alhambra. Well worth it!

This tour was absolutely... - This tour was absolutely phenomenal! Our guide, Abubakr, was incredibly knowledgable and provided us with so many insights about the architecture and the history of the Alhambra. My husband, our two kids, and I all learned so much in the 3 hours we spent with Abubakr, but we also really enjoyed ourselves. This was easily my favorite part of our family's trip to Spain - I cannot recommend it highly enough!
