It is currently an artistic-historical monumental group consisting of four clearly distinguishable zones: the Palaces, the military zone or Alcazaba, the city or Medina, and the villa of the Generalife, all of which are surrounded by woods, trees, gardens, parks, and vegetable gardens.

It was a nice tour and definitely Alhambra is a place to visit and it needs to be guided so you can understand the beauty and magic of each area. The tour guide was amazing, and know 5 languages! awesome! Some organization issues initially and with the devices but quickly resolved. Fully recommended!

3 hour guided tour with earpiece so you can wander as the guide continues with their historical stories and tidbits in your ear. My partner and I were placed in a group of 8, so it wasn't too many as we moved through the palaces. Our guide Laura is clearly very knowledgeable.

Excellent!! I had difficulties at the beginning, but they helped me find the group. I will never forget. The very complete guided tour. Laura was my guide and it's awesome. Excellent professional. Thank you all for making it easy for me to live this experience with my son; It will stay in our memories forever.
