The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes...and that is actually our goal with this tour: To show you the famous "Alhambra and Generalife" from another perspective.

History and legend are intermingled in this jewel of the Nasrid dinasty of Al-Andalus that perfectly combines water, light, architecture and vegetation.

Do you want to know the symbolism behind each of these elements?

Esotericism, sufism, astrology, mythology... interesting, isn't it?

The Alhambra walls and fountains are actually a book full of poetry, religion and political propaganda, where we can also read the function of its rooms in the voice of a beautiful woman speaking with a delicate voice to the visitor.

Together we will experience the same overwhelming feeling of those ambassadors coming to visit the Nasrid king and its piece of paradise on earth...

Thousands book guided tours to the Alhambra every year...do they all come back home knowing its secrets?

Best experience during our two week trip to Spain!

We had a small group tour with Jose which ended up being a private tour. Over four hours, we walked the entire site, including Alcazar and the Gardens up to the summer palace.

Jose is an extremely knowledgable and multi-lingual guide who provided deep historical, social, and political insights to the history of the Alhambra. We learned so much which was important for us since we were traveling with our teen and wanted the experience to be educational and fun.

Jose delivered on both and is a joy to spend time with. His friendly thoughtful disposition gave us plenty of time to stroll through the very large site at a nice pace, stopping when needed for photos or questions or to just simply soak in the amazing architecture.

Choosing a semi-private small group tour was worth every penny as we were able to maneuver around larger groups at the three checkpoints.

The highlight of the tour was a less traveled view point where Jose took us to look back at the Alhambra from the summer palace and enjoy the shade and cool breeze.

Truly amazing experience, I would definitely sign up for a private guide with Jose again.

Very good experience. Our tour guide Juan was very knowledgeable about the story and history of the Alhambra, and was able to give a lot of meaning to things we would have otherwise missed. Highly recommend the tour!

After purchasing my reservation online, I go on the day at the appointed time with all my enthusiasm to see the Alhambra, with the Nasrid palaces. 89 euros per person!! The time comes and no one comes there. I ask other guides and no one knows the company. After 20 minutes past the hour, by chance, someone who saw my concern and who was at the bar at the meeting point contacted a certain Esther by phone and after 5 minutes of conversation she told me that they had sent me a cancellation email. of the tour. The email arrives immediately after with the cancellation. Nobody picked up the phone, they didn't answer WhatsApp, nobody gave me any explanation. NOTHING!! In the end they gave me my money back, and I didn't file a complaint, but I was left without my visit to the Alhambra by this company and a trip to Granada wasted. It's incredible that businesses like this exist. I do not recommend to anybody!! I'm giving it one star because it won't let me give zero to comment. Horrible! The worst of the worst. They play with people 😡

The highlight of our visit to Spain! Jose made the tour enjoyable with the way he presented the history and the way he showed us small details. He did a good job keeping our group together and keeping a good pace that allowed brief rest breaks. The group had 9 persons and that was a good size.

The entire tour was an incredible experience, made even more so by our guide Ester. Ester was extremely knowledgable, spoke very clear English and was very respectful to all her guests. She paced the tour at just the right tempo so everyone was catered for.

Jose was a fantastic guide!! Many interesting historical details and excellent pace of the tour. We were so happy we booked a tour! Much easier than trying to navigate the Alhambra on our own. The audio devices were perfect- we could always easily hear him. Thank you so very much!
Don’t hesitate to book with this company!!

Esther did an amazing job explaining the history of Alhambra and showing us the beauty of the site. The tour was exceptional- she explained things well, held our interest, showed us the best places to take pictures and gave us time to do so while keeping the tour moving. My college-aged kids loved it, and it was one of the best tours I’ve experienced.
