Overview

  • Discover one of the most extraordinary monuments in the world on this 7 to 8-hour private tour of the Alhambra, guided by a licensed official guide and art historian who brings centuries of Islamic history to life.
    All tickets are included: Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife gardens, with no queues. Alhambra tickets sell out weeks in advance, so we recommend booking early.
    After the visit, enjoy free time for lunch or shopping near the Alhambra.
    We pick you up at your hotel or apartment between Fuengirola and Malaga, in a comfortable private car or van. Cruise passengers are picked up at Muelle 1 or Plaza de la Marina, always back on time for their ship.
    The scenic drive to Granada takes about 1h30 each way, and your guide will share the history of the region along the way.
    This is not a group tour: the pick-up time, the pace and the stories are all tailored to you. A relaxed, personal and unforgettable day.
