“In the afternoon of our night tour of the Alejandra, they messaged and told us that we could not go to the ALHAMBRA that night. They wanted to take us to the gardens and Charles V palace, and then "for free" take us to the Nasrid Palace the next day. This private guided tour was over €400 and booked months and months in advance. They left us no time to get other tickets, so we were not able to go to the ALHAMBRA at all. This followed their cancellation or trying to rebook almost every other tour that we had set up during our time in Spain. I will never…”

Travel from central Málaga to Granada in a small group of up to 15, then explore the Alhambra with an official English-speaking guide. You’ll visit the Generalife, Alcazaba, Charles V Palace, and Nasrid Palaces if selected. Check the timing carefully, as some departures may not reach the Alhambra at sunset.

“The Al Hambra complex is stunning! Be sure to choose the option that includes the Nasrid palace as that is the highlight. Also book in advance. I booked almost 6 months in advance. There was a couple in our group who bought their tickets on short notice and could not get into the Nasrid due to capacity. The only mixup we experienced was that at the orange ticket office the girl could not find our reservation by Discovering Spain and had to take quite some time to find it. Also our tour guide did not bring us back to the starting point of the tour after the last palace. A…”
