Our added value is that we speak Arabic, the language in which the poetry and messages adorning its walls were written. Not only do we show you the beauty of their palaces, but we give voice to words carved in stone, revealing their true meaning. Through these inscriptions, we transport you to the time of the Sultans, when the Alhambra was the heart of a kingdom where art, culture and poetry reached their fullest glory. You will live the Alhambra like never before, with the essence of Al-Andalus beating in every corner. ## Key facts - Price: from €190 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.98/5 from 55 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Operator: Califa Experience - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## What's included - Occasionally we are obliged to change the schedule depending on the availability of tickets - Prices include access tickets to the monument and an official guide - Start time is approximate depending on availability of monument tickets ## Not included - Tips ## Itinerary 1. **Nasrid Palaces** (1h 10m; admission included) - The Nasrid Palaces are the heart of the Alhambra of Granada and one of the most impressive jewels of Islamic art in the world.
