5.00This was an excellent experience from the time the taxi picked us up at our rental home to the time we were dropped off in the later afternoon. Many thanks to our expert tour guide Abubakr. We felt so fortunate to have a guide who was so incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Alhambra, and was friendly and professional throughout. The palaces and garden were stunning and the history was fascinating. We would highly recommend this tour!

5.00My husband and I were promptly picked up by Pepe at the agreed-upon time, at our Vking cruise port location. Pepe introduced us to Malaga and Granada while we were driven to Alhambra. Once there, we met our personal guide, Hamdy, who guided us to the Palaces’ entry while introducing us to the history of Alhambra. As we were guided throughout these beautiful and ornate grounds, Hamdy shared a wealth of history and information for absolutely everything we saw. Hamdy additionally helped me set up excellent photos plus took several of us at key locations (photo ops!). Be prepared for lots of walking involving cobblestones, steps, inclines. But any challenges you may have are rewarded with a vast number of beautiful sights!! Once the tour was over, Hamdy recommended a restaurant in Granada where Pepe took us to enjoy a delicious lunch outside at a central location (where we also found an ATM to use). Next was the drive back to our ship where we were dropped off within the required time frame, just ahead of sailing to our next location. We highly recommend this tour!!!
Excellent, informative and passionate

Red palace of Alhambra…. what a morning…

5.00Go early morning, we arrived at 0830 am, it was cooler and far less people. Our guide was Mohamed, and, for us, he bought the red palaces history and secrets to life. The twists and turns of the garden, the irrigation system, the summer palace and its beauty. Alhambra was seen through a cultural lens, from understanding the writings in the fretwork, poetry hidden, steps of paradise, and the geometry and meaning of ceramic designs. Secrets we’d have missed… the lion clock that was, stained glass in women’s rooms, the communication chamber, the fountains and stillness, views, the amazing engineering of irrigation, and the surprise of just how many plants growing there, are in our garden… and so much more. Be clear what you’d like to do with your spare time, we headed into Grenada for a mixed platter of Iberian cheeses and meats, and watched the world go by, bought traditional caramelised sweet treats and art…. Of course you may wish to squeeze your own visit to cathedral or something else, or enjoy a luxurious lunch overlooking the City from up high. Just speak to your guide. Whatever you do wear comfortable and footwear, there’s lots of walking… This is just our personal view, we would recommend it… just open your mind to discover a citadel full of history and peace.
