  • During some days with limited available registred guides, it could be shared in small groups of up to a maximum of 6 people of the same language
  • Guaranteed after confirmation, Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife.
  • The appointment time printed on the voucher is approximate and helps us understand at what time the customer wants to start. We will try our best to respect it, but please note that you should expect an email with the exact appointment time. Please understand that on specific dates, there may be limited tickets, and we may need to change the appointment.
  • If you have a specific start time in mind for your tour, please inform our supplier as soon as possible and they will make every effort to accommodate your request. Please keep in mind, however, that the start time may be subject to change depending on the Nasrid Palaces appointment time provided by the administration of Alhambra, and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
  • If you have not received an email informing you of the tour start time four days prior to your scheduled tour, please contact the tour supplier. Please note that the starting time printed on your voucher is only an approximation, and the exact start time will be communicated to you via email or SMS. To ensure that you receive timely updates, please provide a valid phone number in case the tour supplier needs to contact you regarding any changes to your tour that may be enforced by the Alhambra administration.
  • Please note: the Alhambra requires that all passengers provide the full name, date of birth and passport details for each participant when booking. If not provided, the Alhambra may deny access to their premises.
  • Keep in mind that The Alhambra closes every December 25 and January 1, we will always assign the visit either for December 26 or for January 2
  • All travelers must bring their passport or physical identity card on the day of the visit. When you make the reservation you must give us the identity data of all the passengers since the Alhambra tickets are nominative.
  • Our tour includes the tickets. The Alhambra system requires that you provide us with all full names, as the tickets are nominative (you will need to bring your passport or ID card on the day of the visit). We would also like to inform you that the tour may be canceled due to sold-out tickets, sometimes even on the same day in the early morning, although our cancellation rate is on average less than 0.4%. It can happen because Alhambra tickets are limited, and sometimes they may not be available for various reasons. However, we have a success rate of over 99% in obtaining them due to our dedication and experience. But please rest assured, this happens very rarely; you are in good hands. We prefer to inform you about the system, and this is how all agencies operate. So when you make the reservation, you must read carefully that you cannot have train reservations or other activity; you must have the whole day dedicated to the Alhambra because there may be changes in the schedule. It does not depend on us but on the complexity of the monument. We are aware of the importance of this visit for you, we want to meet your needs, but when you make reservations, you accept these conditions; in case of cancellation, all the money will be refunded through the platform.

Absolutely amazing - Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. A once in a lifetime experience. Fatima was so incredibly knowledgeable- he made the history come alive. Our kids had a great time too and loved the “quizzes” along the way, learning more about Arabic and the designs of the gardens and palace. I wish we had arranged to spend all day with our guide!

Excellent guide Carlos at the Alhambra - Our guide Carlos was a font of knowledge about the Alhambra—his passion for the many fascinating aspects of the history, art, architecture, infrastructure, etc shone through— and he was engaging enough to keep two 20 year olds and two middle aged people interested for 3 hours. It really added a lot to have a guide who could bring these places to life.

Highlight of any vacation trip. - Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating guide. The monument itself was overwhelming and beyond my ability to describe fully. It is an experience that has to be witnessed to be fully appreciated.

Amazing Alhambra Experience - This tour was amazing! Our guide Fatmi was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Alhambra and the region. The palaces were beautiful and having someone to guide us and share the stories made it so special. Highly recommend this tour and our guide Fatmi.

Lahambra - Tour guide (Fatmi) was excellent and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour but we’re upset that the cost was double what other tour agencies charged. Don’t expect me to use TripAdvisor any time soon. I understand a premium but 2x is unsatisfactory.
