The Alhambra ...Get a private guide for this trip. We used Picnic Tours www.granadapicnictours.com, Anne and her husband will go out of their way to help you plan your trip. The Alhambra is very elaborate and should not be missed.
The Alhambra is one of the most amazing places in the world. Using a private guide enhances the experience
tremendously as you can enjoy it at your own pace and are not herded with a bus load of other tourists. Anne from Granada Picnic Tours was great--her knowledge of Alhambra, the history, the architecture, the art, the countryside were incredible
The Alhambra is a remarkable place and seeing it with Anne Gangemi ( www.granadapicnictours.com) as our tour guide made it all come alive. Anne is from America, and the tours are private, you can visit this remarkable place at your own pace and ask as many questions as you like. I would definitely recommend Anne as a tour guide!
This is a huge monument, wear good shoes and take your camera. We had a wonderful visit to the Alhambra
monument with a private guide. It was only our family so we stopped to rest and have a snack when we wanted to. We watched other tour groups 15 to 30 people herded through like cattle. Go in the afternoon if possible when it isn't so crowded. Anne knew everything, history, architecture even the names of all trees, shrubs and flowers. This was one of the best tours we took in Europe.
We had a wonderful visit in Historic Granada and at the Alhambra with Anne of Granada Picnic Tours. This was a private, just our family, tour. She was accommodating and flexible since we had two children (one 6 months old, one 7 years), we were able to go slowly and stop when we wanted for snacks and breaks. The Alhambra, Granada and Albayzin are amazing but overwhelming and complicated. We entered all Alhambra areas immediately and swept past the people standing in long lines.
It was a fun day for our family. Thank you Anne.

Alhambra, Granada Spain Private Tour
August 02, sedrake
We just returned from our 12 day trip to Spain.
Anne, Granada Picnic Tours, met us promptly at our hotel. We took the full day Granada and Alhambra tour. Anne worked at our pace as we had a 6 year old with us. She engaged Maddy, pointing out things that Maddy would understand and enjoy along the way. We stopped for drinks and icecream. Anne was very knowledgable and you can tell they really love the city. She was very knowledgable about the history and people in the area. We stopped at little novelty shops and spice markets. She went at our pace which ws "meandering" which we appreciated. We have been on many tours with big groups where we had no time to appreciate the feel of the city and she gave us this luxury.
We wanted some facts but not to get info overload and Anne did well with our quirky request. I think the Alhambra would be difficult to navigate and really get the full picture if you did not have some kind of tour guide with you. It was large and it would be very difficult to know what you are looking at and appreciate the history behind it with out someone to help you.

Private Alhambra tour
September 11, awayBoston, Boston
This is a huge monument, wear good shoes and take your camera. We had a wonderful visit to the Alhambra monument with a private guide. It was only our family so we stopped to rest and have a snack when we wanted to. We watched other tour groups 25 to 40 people herded through like cattle. Go in the afternoon if possible when it isn't so crowded. Anne knew everything, history, architecture even the names of all trees, shrubs and flowers. This was one of the best tours we took in Europe.
a few of many tripadvisor.com reviews . . .
We were happy to tour with MadridMan
who visited us in April of 2008
"Can ANYONE say enough about the City of Granada? Talk about the epitome of the phrase “Enchanted City”! It has everything, and all without the confines of what feels like a village. Of course, anyone visiting Granada MUST SEE the Alhambra. That really goes without saying but lots of people, including many Spaniards, believe they can “just show up” and see it – but you really can’t.
"I took two tours in Granada. One, Granada Picnic Tours, Anne, an American woman from Kansas, took a small group of us around the Alhambra, spending roughly 4 hours with us, and giving us all the details about the Alhambra in a very casual, familiar manner. It was a wonderful success and I enjoyed it a lot."
