What to expect on an Alhambra guided tour?
A visit to such a massive historical place of interest can be overwhelming since there’s so much to see.

Once you meet your tour guide at the entrance, you will be taken straight inside the palace grounds, where you get a chance to visit places of interest like the Nasrid Palaces, Generalife Gardens, and the Alcazaba. Admire the Moorish-style architecture of the Nasrid Palaces as you explore the Palace of Comares, Bath of the Mosque, the Lion’s Palace, Golden Courtyard, the Palace of Carlos V, and more.
