Alhambra: Tours & Tickets

It was very helpful to have a guide, and Carmen was excellent. She provided a lot of good information, both historical and about the Alhambra. The audio devices worked very well. The cost was high thought, over $100 CDN per person. But, it seemed to be our only option to get into the Alhambra. We could not buy tickets, except from a tour company. And when we got there, we were told that there were no tickets put on sale that day at all at the door. So, we would have been out of luck if we tried to buy walk up tickets. A tour, though, was a much better way to see everything, rather than just walking through on our own. We bought the tickets online, and the ads all promoted the tours at 30 or 35 Euros. But, when I clicked on the ads, there were no 35 Euro tours, all were $69.

We booked with Granavision, you meet in the coffee shop upstairs. The cafe/office is on the street opposite the car park near the entrance to the Alhambra. We paid about 50 euros each to see everything with a guide which took just over 3 hours. The guide must have a special mention-his name is Viktor and he was not only extremely knowledgeable about the history but he made it interesting and entertaining because he was so funny. His English was excellent and we understood everything. Highly recommended company.

I was dreading a 3-hour tour, until it started with Pablo. He is so knowledgeable on the history of the Alhambra, including the political and religious climate of the time. We had an informative and fun time.

We’ve done a few tours on our own, but this one was fantastic. Our guide, Alseir, was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun.

Liked the parcours, the story, the site, we did it with family, right rythm and enthusiasm of our guide Irene. She transmitted he passion and willing to answer many questions. Great moment Thank you Irene (309)
