Additional Information

Want to perceive what generally goes unnoticed? Grasp and fathom Granada’s rich and complex heritage in a captivating, enjoyable, and visually appealing manner? From the moment I began my journey as a tour guide, I realized that mere guidance doesn’t suffice. What’s vital is the interpretation of both the visible and the invisible. It’s not merely about facts and chronological events; it’s about organizing a tour that helps you understand locations in their entirety - their history, their present, and their potential future. Following our tour, you’ll discover the Alhambra from a new perspective, viewing it through unique, perspective-altering lenses.

Amazing experience - Asier provided an amazing experience right from the start. Once the booking was completed, he contacted us immediately to reserve our tickets for the best time possible. He was very knowledgeable and provided insights you wouldn’t get in bigger groups. We were traveling with our 7 year old, Asier managed to keep her engaged. He even showed her how and where to take the best pictures.

A memorable experience - Booking this private tour was best choice for us to enjoy a great Alhambra experience. We were positively impressed even before the tour started; the communication with the tour's representative was easy and prompt, we received in advance all the details about the meeting point, starting time, contact of our guide. Everything was very clear and helpful. The time spent at Alhambra and Generalife was wonderful. Anna, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable. She provided us with so many information not only about the history and architecture of Alhambra and Generalife, but even literature references, local legends and information about Granada in general. Everything at our own pace, without rushing and allowing time for sightseeing and taking pictures. At the end of the tour she even shared directions and a list with attractions in Granada and nice places for dinner. Anna went above and beyond to make it a truly outstanding experience.

Truly a Different Perspective - Was an amazing tour! Asier really conveyed what it would be like to be a visitor to the Alhambra back in the day and his narrative flowed very well with the timing & pace of the tour. Gave great advice on interesting photo angles and all his communication was prompt with no problems before/during the tour. Didn't want the tour to end, highly recommend!

Detailed tour - Asier was a really good and knowlegable person. Explained every question that we had and he told us not only the history of Alhambra but also the human stories behind it.

This is the way to do the Alhambra! - I booked this tour for just my mom and me, as I thought a private tour would be worth doing for a place as large and history-rich as the Alhambra. I'm so glad I did -- totally worth the investment in this experience! Ana is incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging. My mom and I learned a lot and really enjoyed ourselves. If I went back with friends or family, I would book with Ana again, definitely!

A great storyteller!! - We had a great experience visiting the Alhambra with Asier. We communicated effectively on WhatsApp and he booked the tickets for us, making it stress free. He is a great storyteller and very knowledgeable about the history of Granada and the Alhambra. He put up with our 3 years old wanting to run in all directions and needing a wee break in the middle of the palace, showing flexibility and patience. He also took great photos of us during the tour! I highly recommend him for learning about the Alhambra.
