Private tour of the Alhambra entrances included

Alhambra was on the bucket list. Just seeing the outside does not do it justice. The inside is where the real story is. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and personalized it for us. I would highly recommend – if your budget allows – to take a private rather than large group tour. The guide can adjust to your pace, answer your questions, and point out things, unique to you as a family, that would be of interest.
Eduardo was knowledgeable, nice, and excellent.

He highly recommended this visit and especially doing it with a professional guide. There is no way you can say that you visited Granada and not make this visit

Our family of 4 had traveled to Spain for a 10-day trip and an Alhambra tour was a "must see" during our visit. Our main point of contact, Matias, was quick with replies and instructions leading up to our visit on May 16. When the day arrived, we had an amazing, guided tour of Alhambra, Palaces and Generalife from our tour guide, Edu (Eduardo), as had been planned. Edu is a local guide who lives in Granada and despite being a native Spanish speaker, has mastery of the English language and was able to describe nuanced details and history of the site without hesitation.

Edu met us punctually at the agreed meeting point just outside the gate and proceeded to review the history of the site with some helpful visual aids before he took us inside the gates. The fast-track tickets helped us bypass lines and queues that delayed other visitors. Edu knew many of the staff within the walls of Alhambra which gave us the confidence that our guide has spent significant time on the site.

Once inside, he guided us efficiently through the different areas of the sprawling property, highlighting features and histories likely uncovered by the large groups. Edu has a background in botany and natural sciences, which was especially helpful in describing the natural landscape and farming traditions within the walls of Alhambra. He also has a deep understanding of the complex and innovative water conveyance strategies used at the site throughout time. His insights in these areas were especially interesting.

As we toured without the need for microphones and earbuds, the tour was very intimate and personalized. Edu was more than happy to indulge our party by taking photos of us at certain vantage points whenever we asked. Edu proceeded at a great pace through the site and was always mindful of the best times to walk through certain areas and was always able to budget time wisely to allocate more time in areas of importance and historical significance.

I suspect we may have exceeded the allotted time for our tour, but Edu led us through the entire site during the extended visit and took time to answer all of our questions.

Our family can recommend working with this team without hesitation. Matias and specially Edu made this part of our visit to Spain easy and enjoyable.

We so enjoyed our experience with Edu at the Alhambra Palace. We learned so much about the history of the palace and its beautiful gardens as they evolved over the centuries. Having grown up in Granada studying history & landscaping at the university, Edu was a wealth of information. He went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Edu (and Matias at Tanat Travel for being so patient and helpful.)

Our guide gave a fantastic tour. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us a great understanding and experience during our visit to the Alhambra. The site is so big we would have really missed out on seeing and learning a lot without our guide. Would recommend anyone visiting to use Yannat for their tour!

Our guide Edu made our tour of Alhambra a very memorable experience. He was very passionate about the history and the physical preservation of the site. His easy going nature and story telling skills brought it to life for us. We were pleasantly surprised at how cost effective the tour was. Nothing beats a private tour customized to our pace and interests. We highly recommend this company and Edu!

Our tour with Alain of the Alhambra was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and conducted the tour at a pace that was quite comfortable. We enjoyed having a conversation with him about what we were seeing rather than feeling like he was reading from a script. I highly recommend this tour and having Alain as a guide.

We took this tour with our teenage daughters and we all enjoyed it very much. Our guide Eduardo was extremely knowledgeable, passionate and organized and we were able to get such a good idea about the history of this awesome place. Of course you could go and look at everything alone and it would still be pretty, but you take away so much more if someone can explain all the details, show you the hidden treasures and put everything into perspective.
After completing the tour we went ahead and booked a second one with Yannat in Cordoba.

We had Virginia as our tour guide and she was excellent. Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about El Alhambra and the history of Granada. It is already an impressive and beautiful place but she made the place come alive with her story telling. Highly recommend.
