Our take
For cruise passengers docking in Motril or anyone staying on the Costa Tropical, this is the way to see the Alhambra with the tickets sorted, which is the hard part. Book early: Nasrid Palace slots sell out.

The experience
What the day looks like
You are picked up in Motril, including at the port if you arrive by cruise ship, and drive up to Granada. An official guide meets you for a 3-hour private visit to the Alhambra: the Nasrid Palaces, the Generalife gardens and the Alcazaba. Then you have about 3 hours free for lunch and a stroll in the centre or the Albaicín before heading back to Motril.
How it works
It is private and the price is per group: €760 for 1 or 2 people and €1040 for 4. The driver picks you up at your accommodation in Motril and takes you back there. Lunch is not included.
Who I recommend it to
- Cruise passengers calling at Motril.
- Travellers on the Costa Tropical who want the Alhambra without worrying about tickets.
Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, with a full refund.
