Alhambra Private Tour from Costa del Sol

The Alhambra is not to be missed. We loved having a private tour and ride for just the four of us. The guide was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we had. I would recommend eating a VERY quick lunch or just bringing your own food so that you can use the extra time allotted for eating to visit the Alhambra museum inside the Carlos V palace. Original items from the Alhambra can be seen there.

They clean vehicle, great transportation service. The tour guide was very informative of history and culture.

No trip to Andalusia is complete without a tour of the Alhambra. A private tour is the way to go. Lunch at Jardin Alberto followed by an extensive tour of the gardens and palaces was well worth the price. Our guide, Clara, had complete command of the history and English.

The entire trip was fantastic. Driver and tour guide clara were outstanding. My wife and I were floored by her knowledge.

We had an incredibly memorable visit to the Alhambra with our guide, Jesus! His detailed knowledge of every aspect of history, art and architecture brought the Alhambra to life for us. His descriptions of the Nazrid palaces, practices and Granada’s historical importance truly helped us to gain deeper understanding and appreciation during our visit . We could not have asked for a better guide in terms of knowledge, conversation and an all around memorable trip!

Such a beautiful and powerful tour. Paco was a great driver and Maryla was an excellent guide. She knew so much about the history and her passion for it shows. Lunch near La Alhambra was good - went to Jardín de Nasries which was good, but busy. Recommend making a reservation if you plan on eating a meal in/around the area.

Our tour guide was cool, highly knowledgeable, and was able to cater to our needs. She listened to what we wanted to know, really appreciated that she made it our request as we were in a time crunch.

Driver was safe in navigating the road, and the van was clean.

Laura was fabulous!!!! Very knowledgeable and helpful… and excited to share her knowledge! It was a great experience!!!

While this tour may be expensive, you get a lot in return. We were picked up at our hotel in Marbella. The vehicle/van was clean and safe and the driver was friendly (his English was at an intermediate level). Then we were brought to Granada and had an hour to look in the shops and grab a snack (at your own expense). Next, we were given a 2.5 tour of the Alhambra site including Generalife and all the palaces. The tour includes the tickets and allows you to jump lines -- so the same tour might have taken another hour or more if you had to bother getting tickets and waiting in lines. The guide was knowledgeable about the history and the site and was willing to answer questions and even take photos with us in it. For the return, we had the same driver and vehicle, so it was safe to leave luggage in it. We needed to go to a different hotel in a different city (Malaga) and the driver was able to take us there at no extra charge (but we prearranged this by emailing the tour operator, Tours in Malaga). One heads-up -- departure times other than the ones listed on the tripadvisor site might be available. In fact, I has selected 0800 and the tour operator asked me if we could instead start at 1330, which turned out to be fine since things in Spain operate at a later schedule than the eastern parts of the CET time zone.

Beautiful place. Our guide was knowledgeable and adjusted the tour yo suit our kids. Thank you Borjas!
