    Full description

    The Alhambra is the most visited monument in Spain and an essential stop for anyone visiting Granada. If you want to discover all its secrets, its exclusive Nasrid Palaces, and the Generalife Gardens, do not hesitate to book this excursion.

    You can choose to be picked up from one of the different pick-up points in Costa del Sol or Malaga at the indicated time. Then, enjoy a scenic drive across the mountain range of Málaga to reach the historical city of Granada.

    Upon arrival, discover the monuments that form the Alhambra. Firstly, take a walk across the Generalife Gardens which holds the Palace of Charles V. With this option, you do not enter the Nasrid Palaces.

    All round successful tour! Very well organized and everything on time. The guides were extremely friendly and provided all the information needed without being intrusive. We were informed about the process from the outset, which was then implemented in exactly the same way. First visit of Granada, then the breathtaking Alhambra. Be sure to book the Nasrid Palaces! Unforgettable and really a dream from 1001 Nights! The entire tour is highly recommended!

    Absolutely phenomenal, phenomenal and beautiful Alhambra, a must see! When it comes to walking around the city, there is actually only the Cathedral to see. Apart from that, there is not much to see. The guide spoke average English, and besides, he was talking about something when not everyone had approached yet and you couldn't hear anything. Instead of exploring the city, I'd rather spend more time at the Alhambra. I did not like the poor program and the high price of the trip.

    The coach arrived on time and we were on our way to Granada. Lovely city and such an amazing Cathedral. In the afternoon we got taken by a guide around the Alhambra by a lady whose name was Karin. The view from the Fortress to the City below was just amazing. Well organised routine with safety as there first concern to which I was impressed.
