Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens Exclusive Tour

Discover the legacy of Spain’s powerful Nasrid dynasty on a private tour of the UNESCO-listed Alhambra Palaces and Generalife Gardens in Granada. From Moorish sultans to Catholic kings, hear stories from the centuries of rulers who occupied this stunning royal complex and adjacent gardens while an official guide reveals the secrets behind their multicultural history and design.

The Alhambra is broken up into sections: the Generalife Gardens (a collection of courtyards, pools, and fountains). The 13th-century Generalife served as a summer retreat for Nasrid kings when they needed a break from palace affairs. From its perch on Cerro del Sol (Hill of the Sun), the series of terraces, promenades, and gardens spread across 74 landscaped acres (30 hectares) of the Alhambra complex afford some of the best views over Granada.

And the Alhambra Palaces are a sprawling complex of intricately decorated palaces, pristine gardens, and a once-mighty fortress. This UNESCO World Heritage site was constructed during the Nasrid Dynasty and later partially destroyed and rebuilt by King Charles V. With its mix of Renaissance and Moorish architecture, the Alhambra Palace is the most sought-after attraction for visitors to Granada, sitting high on most must-see lists for Andalucia and Spain as a whole.

EXCELLENT Victor gave the four of us an amazing tour yesterday of Malaga. He met us on time and gave a brief introduction of what we would be seeing. We started with the cathedral and its history from the outside with comments on its architecture. Then, we were taken inside for an in-depth tour of the cathedral and all of the highlights of the choir stalls, the various chapels and artwork.After this, we had an excellent tour of the Alcazaba, which included, going up in the elevator, then making our way down, which was very helpful and allowed us to enjoy a much longer time with the tour than if we had so many stairs to climb. We ended the sightseeing part of the tour with a trip to the Roman theater, where we were able to sit and listen to the history, not just of the theater, but of the archaeological discovery of it within the city.Then it was on to the Market, where we were able to see the fruit and vegetables, fish, meats, and then enjoy some of the local tapas and drinks with Victor at one of the food stations within the market. The tapas tour ended with us at a local restaurant where we were treated to another variety of tapas in an outdoor location. From start to finish, Victor was able to answer our questions, not just about the main highlights of the tour, but other questions relating to travel recommendations, local history, and language. And the tour was conducted in English without annoying headphones. We highly recommend booking with him the next time you are in Malaga. We certainly will.

Knowledgeable Tour Guide shares history and culture We had a wonderful tour and evening spent with Victor our tour guide. Victor had an encyclopedic knowledge of the culture, language and history of the region, not to mention the vegetation of the city. After the tour of the old town, we had Tapas pared with two different wines at two different local establishments, that was popular with the locals. We ended up with a dancing Christmas Light Show. It was an excellent experience.

Delicious Food & Enjoyable City Highlights Walk Our guide was engaging and had lived in Malaga for many years. As we roamed the streets, there were old friends around every corner. We felt more like guests than tourists. The tapas and wine our guide selected were anazing. Prior to this experience, I had never had an interest in Spanish cuisine. This tour totally changed my mind. I hope to enjoy these foods again in Spain. And, in case you are wondering, we enjoyed the walking tour hightlights, too. Our favourite stop was the fortress.

Malaga Walking Tour We have been to Malaga on several occasions before but decided to use an official tour guide to tell us all about this beautiful city. Our guide, Victor, was well informed, friendly and professional. We visited the Cathedral, the Fortress and the Roman Theatre before stopping off at two traditional Spanish restaurants for authentic tapas and drinks, which were delicious. The tour was really enjoyable and I would recommend it highly.

A Must Do! Such a fabulous history tour of Malaga! Daniel was a wonderfully knowledgeable guide full of information and anecdotes. There’s so much history in this city, but Daniel was able to tell it in a way that was exciting and fun while walking through the narrow streets. The cathedral is beautiful and Alcazaba is rich in history and beauty. Ending the tour with a tapas lunch was delicious and remarkable. The restaurants we visited were conscientious and friendly serving tasty tapas. Definitely a must!
