We were fortunate to have a guide, Antonio, who took us through the tour telling us every little detail of the Alhambra's monumental complex. All with great competence and passion, and even a hint of irony scattered here and there along a three-hour-long tour.

Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite being early in the morning on Labor Day, was very pleasant and entertaining, a constant source of information and very interesting. Without Carlos Fuentes, the tour of the Alhambra would have been a tedious and lackluster experience, with so much to see but little explanatory information about it...Thank you very much, Carlos, for an unforgettable Alhambra experience! Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite the early tour hours on Labor Day , was very nice and pleasant, a constant yet very interesting source of information.

We had the pleasure of having Javier as our tour guide during our visit to the Alhambra yesterday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Javier shared a wealth of information with us and made the entire tour engaging and enjoyable. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate about the history he shared. We truly loved the experience thanks to him. We highly recommend booking a tour with Javier if you're planning to visit the Alhambra — he will give you an experience to remember. Thank you so much, Javier, and we look forward to doing it again!

Guide very knowledgable and the tour itself was excellent. However finding my guide was very stressful. The meeting point was not where shown in the email instructions and pictures. There was no 'Headout' branding anywhere to be seen e.g lanyards or banners to help locate my group and guide. (You should say if you subcontract the tours so that client s can find the right guide) I arrived at the meeting point 40 mins early and still nearly missed the tour as your guide was not where I was instructed to be. Asking other guides they confirmed the meeting point was right but she was assembling with all the other guides by the ticket office/cafe not where the busses drop off. This was incredibly stressful and I would l have been devastaed if I'd missed my group as it was a special birthday trip. I ended up with 3 mins to spare before the Group departed. I gather this a common experience and one that you really need to sort out. I was recommended to you by friends but they had the same experience too last year. That said, great tour, good booking processes. Thank you.

I was amazed by the architecture, the history of the Nazrid Palaces and the beauty of the whole complex particularly the generalife. We visited the cathedral on the ticket which is truly magnificent but did not choose to use the transport although we could have and would have been very simple.

Discovering Andalusia From Seville to Córdoba to then reach Granada and easily visit all the major attractions using the Granada Card (purchased with the Headout app). Following the precise information we received through e-mail, we never had any problems using the aforementioned Card, thus visiting the Alhambra in perfect autonomy, then picking up the card related to the 9 city bus trips and using the tourist train. Also with the same Granada Card we then visited the cathedral, Sacromonte Abbey and other places of interest with entrance always included in the conditions of use. For us the use of the Granada Card was very useful especially for the time saved, avoiding long lines for entrances or the hassle of having to buy tickets for public transportation, etc. Positive experience, highly recommended.

The Alhambra is amazing. Definitely worth while getting up early to enter at 8.30am before the tour groups arrive. We spent almost four hours admiring the palaces and the extensive gardens. Warning: there are alot of steps to climb if you want to see the wonderful views. The snow on the Sierra Nevada made a spectacular backdrop. Hadn't realised the audio guide was in digital format rather than (old fashioned) headphones.

Having the ticket in advance ment we knew we had a time slot booked which would have been impossible on the day. I don't think we saved any money as it would have been about the same cost to buy separate tickets and it would have been impossible to visit all the sights in 48 hours.

Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite being early in the morning on Labor Day, was very pleasant and entertaining, a constant source of information and very interesting. Without Carlos Fuentes, the tour of the Alhambra would have been a tedious and lackluster experience, with so much to see but little explanatory information about it...Thank you very much, Carlos, for an unforgettable Alhambra experience! Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite the early tour hours on Labor Day , was very nice and pleasant, a constant yet very interesting source of information.

Guide very knowledgable and the tour itself was excellent. However finding my guide was very stressful. The meeting point was not where shown in the email instructions and pictures. There was no 'Headout' branding anywhere to be seen e.g lanyards or banners to help locate my group and guide. (You should say if you subcontract the tours so that client s can find the right guide) I arrived at the meeting point 40 mins early and still nearly missed the tour as your guide was not where I was instructed to be. Asking other guides they confirmed the meeting point was right but she was assembling with all the other guides by the ticket office/cafe not where the busses drop off. This was incredibly stressful and I would l have been devastaed if I'd missed my group as it was a special birthday trip. I ended up with 3 mins to spare before the Group departed. I gather this a common experience and one that you really need to sort out. I was recommended to you by friends but they had the same experience too last year. That said, great tour, good booking processes. Thank you.

Interesting, well-documented visit. Very pleasant guide for this splendid place. However, the guide was very difficult to find among the other guides, as there was no distinctive sign and the meeting place was not appropriate.

How to skip the line at Alhambra?
Book Skip-the-Line Tickets
With Alhambra skip-the-line tickets, you can enjoy priority access, bypassing long queues and ensuring seamless entry. Maximize your time exploring this iconic monument without unnecessary delays.
Book Tickets Online
To streamline your experience, it's highly recommended to book your Alhambra tickets online in advance. By doing so, you can skip the extended waiting lines and have more time to leisurely discover the wonders of the Alhambra at your own pace.
Visit During Off-Peak Hours
For a more serene experience, consider visiting the Alhambra during early morning hours when crowds are lighter. The Alhambra typically opens at 8:30 AM, so plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before. If visiting later, aim to arrive before closing time to avoid queues. Weekdays tend to be less crowded compared to weekends.
Consider Guided Tours
Another great way to skip the line at the Alhambra is to opt for a guided tour. This way you can enter the park through a second entrance that is much less crowded instead of waiting in line at the main entrance. Guided tours of the Alhambra are led by knowledgeable and experienced guides.
Skip the line tickets vs Guided tours - Which to choose?
Skip-the-Line Tickets
- Ideal for independent travelers who prefer to explore at their own pace.
- Provide priority access to the Alhambra, allowing you to bypass long queues and enter the monument efficiently.
- Offer flexibility in terms of scheduling, as you can arrive at the Alhambra at your preferred time without being tied to a guided tour schedule.
- Best suited for visitors who have prior knowledge of the Alhambra's history and architecture or those who prefer a more spontaneous and self-guided experience.
Guided Tours
- Offers a more informative experience, providing insights into the history, architecture, and cultural significance of the Alhambra.
- Led by knowledgeable guides who can enhance your visit with fascinating stories, anecdotes, and historical context.
- Include skip-the-line access, ensuring easy entry and saving time that would otherwise be spent waiting in queues.
- Allow you to discover hidden gems and lesser-known aspects of the Alhambra that you might overlook on your own.
Verdict: The best option would be to book tickets that include both skip the line access and a guided tour. You won’t have to wait in line for your turn to enter Alhambra. Plus, you get to explore with the help of an expert tour guide.

We were fortunate to have a guide, Antonio, who took us through the tour telling us every little detail of the Alhambra's monumental complex. All with great competence and passion, and even a hint of irony scattered here and there along a three-hour-long tour.

Buying tickets was very easy. The site, which has other attractions, has confusing signage. The surprise was that you had to show your passport to get in. Luckily we had ours with us. Thank you.
