Full description

Depart Seville and journey to the city of Granada to take a tour of the historic Alhambra, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural importance and architectural beauty. Benefit from the services of an official tour guide and expert interpreter of the heritage of the city and fortress, built for the Nasrid emirs who ruled Spain in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Marvel at the fortifications of the Alcazaba (citadel), built to protect the city's post-Roman districts, including the Moorish suburb of "El Albayzín." Admire the beauty of the Nasrid Palaces and Generalife, the summer pleasure gardens of the Emir. Next, drive to the center of Granada for lunch (own expense). Then, take a guided walk of the UNESCO-protected Albaicín district where the winding streets are reflective of its Medieval Moorish past.

Stroll past whitewashed houses and encounter age-old churches and flower-filled balconies. Stop to take in the spectacular panoramas over the Alhambra fortress perched on its hill.  Return to Seville at the end of your historical adventure, and get dropped off at your original starting point.

It is an amazing tour if you can spare an entire day for it. You get to experience the region of Granada and its rich history. We walked around 7KM durimg the tour. It is one of the best way to understand early settlement, history of religion before Christ. Very impressive islamic inspired architect from 800 BC. History goes from 8th - 15 century. This is second most visited site in spain after Segrada familia. Tour includes. Tour, 3 palaces of the oldest civilization, religion and culture. Recommended for person who can walk and climb steep Steps. Not ideal with very young children. Our guide was Petra and carlos. They both did wonderful job. Petra was able to point of some fun facts through out tour. Carlos made the visit to Alhambra educating as well as entertaining.

An incredible experience. Bus was very comfortable and guides were excellent at telling stories and history. This is definitely worth the long trek in my opinion. The castle tour is a once in a lifetime experience. I think it should be on everyone's bucket list.
