Alhambra Guide · Alhambra ticket offices
A three-hour tour of the Nasrid Palaces, the Alcazaba and the Generalife with tickets included, for 10 guests at most. It has the best rating on this site, 4.9, and guides who bring games to keep children going.
Alhambra Guide is a small local outfit, and its reviews are the best of any Alhambra tour we list: 4.9 from 71 guests. The tour lasts three hours with full-access tickets, so the Nasrid Palaces, the Alcazaba and the Generalife are all included. Groups stop at 10, and guests mention groups of four.
The listing also sells private tours in English or Spanish and a small-group tour in Spanish. Guides bring interactive games for children, and guests describe guides changing their language for a child, timing a coffee break around the group and finding spots a guest remembered from 36 years earlier. Late-afternoon tours catch sunset over the Generalife.
The price is the drawback. From $214, it costs about three times NHUE's tour for the same route. The Alhambra needs every traveller's full name and passport or ID number at booking, and the document you bring must match exactly. The sale is final.
Your guide waits next to the sign reading "Guides" in front of the ticket offices, near a small dirt park with benches.

★★★★★The way she guided us around meant we didn't feel the crowds which is exactly why I paid the extra for a private your, just us and our guide.
★★★★★She was open to all questions and modified the language due to a child being with us. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, thank you!
★★★★★We lucked out and had a group of 4 of us total on the late afternoon tour. Our guide, Alba, was fantastic. Her cheerful demeanor and vivid storytelling skills made it a very fun outing.
★★★★★Booked a guided tour as other tickets for this had sold out already a month before we travelled. Susana was excellent guide and the Alhambra sites did not disappoint.
