2.Guided Walking Tour of the Alhambra in Granada

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 863 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $78

Tour Granada’s Alhambra with an English-speaking guide, visiting the Nasrid Palaces, Mexuar, Comares, Lion Court, Alcazaba, Medina, Partal, and Generalife gardens. The guide may be Maria, praised for bringing the complex’s long story to life. Your entry time is assigned after booking.

“Be aware that the time for your visit will be assigned AFTER payment is applied. Unfortunately, the way this tour appears in Viator makes it hard to know the time you’ll be able to enter. This is an issue because you will have no recourse if the time assigned by the vendor to the tickets you are billed for does not suit your schedule. Buy direct from The Alhambra to avoid the issue you could face based on aviator’s misrepresentation.”

3.Albaicín and Sacromonte 2.5-Hour Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 777 reviews · from $23

Walk from Plaza Isabel La Católica through Granada’s Albaicín and Sacromonte with a Spanish-speaking guide. Expect narrow lanes, Moorish waterworks, old walls, cave homes, steep climbs, and excellent Alhambra viewpoints. Guides named Josh, Juana, Laura, and Santiago have led highly praised outings.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, with Irina, of Albaicín and Sacromonte in Granada. While tour books are helpful in pointing out sites of historical significance, our walk with Irina gave us a personal perspective from a local who understands the character of these neighborhoods from both the historical perspective and how it translates to its current tenants. Along the way we learned how the Moors architected a water distribution system still in use today, discovered tucked away streets and plazas that we would never have experienced otherwise and learned the origin of the name "Carmen". Most rewarding and recommended!Read more”

4.Albaicín and Sacromonte Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 665 reviews · 2 - 2.5 hours · from $18

Walk from Plaza Isabel la Católica through Albaicín’s whitewashed lanes and Sacromonte’s cave quarter with an official guide in English, French, or Spanish. Expect Alhambra viewpoints, steep streets, stairs, and stories about Granada’s Islamic and Gypsy cultures.

“Our guide (Francesco) was personable and evidently very knowledgeable about Granada, having been born and bred there. He paced the tour well, as there are some steep slopes and stairs. It certainly isn't suitable for anyone who has even the slightest mobility problems. Flat shoes are essential. Would recommend the tour to get a good insight to these areas. He gave some useful information at the end of the tour re restaurants and flamenco shows.”
