Alhambra Tour: Classical Arabic Insights

Visiting the Alhambra with an official guide who speaks classical Arabic is a true luxury. They can translate the mural inscriptions and Arabic calligraphy that adorn the walls, immersing you in the monument and transporting you back to the era of the sultans of the last Muslim kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula.

Highly recommend María for Alhambra tour!! - I booked this private tour b/c I had forgotten to book tickets to Alhambra before we left New Zealand. BEST MISTAKE I COULD HAVE MADE. Our guide María was so knowledgeable that it was like having a personal (and friendlier) encyclopaedia walk us through all of the amazing buildings and gardens. I cannot sing her praises enough. She answered all our questions (and we had a lot). She quickly picked up on what we were interested in would elaborate at a level we could appreciate. I wish I could give her more than five starts. HIGHLY recommend María.

Intellectual and insightful - We had a great guide with a degree in art history. Initially, we only got the guide because we had failed to purchase tickets during the busy season but the guide was so fascinating, definitely worth it if you are interested in Moor history.

Unserious, and embarrassing, - Embarrassing I could not make the excursion pq at the end of purchase and pay there were no tickets left, and we could not enter, I am waiting for return, the website if they remain should not put Availability (in covers) and then there is no

False Information and waste of money - This was NOT a private tour. We kinda rushed through Alhambra and didn’t get the chance to enjoy it. Too expensive and we didn’t get a respectable refund back. Not advised. Save your money and book on the official side in advance so this doesn’t happen to you as well
