Hi there! My name is Juan Antonio and I'm an official tour guide in Andalucía. I am really passionate about my region, its cuisine, culture, and history, so when I had the chance of becoming a guide 10 years ago I had no doubt and went for it. In Granada, I will show you not only what you can read in books, but the details and tell you the anecdotes that are not that easy to find. That is the main reason why I love living in the old town, so I will tell you the stories as a local and someone who lives day-to-day in the city. As I am specialized in doing private tours, I am completely flexible and open-minded, as well as respectful. The tours that I offer are completely customized for each one, so each you have specially interested in something, it wil be more than welcome. If you are looking for a close, personal and enjoyable tour without losing any detail, taking a tour with me will be the best decision. - Degree of Tourism (UCA) - Master of Innovation of Tourism (ESCO) - Official Tour Guide in Andalusia (Gobierno de Andalucía) - Languages Credentials in English and Portuguese (Cambridge and CAPLE) - 10 years guiding experience None.

Overview of your Granada tour

If you could only visit a single place in Spain, this would be the one. In this tour we will visit the highlight of Spain and its history, the amazing Alhambra that from the Nasrid Palaces to the Generalife gardens has always something new to tell and I am ready to share it with you. We will discover the different inhabitants it had throughout the centuries and the modifications it has suffered. Do you want to know the history of this magic place? Do not worry, I will tell you not only the history of the Alhambra, but also curiosities, anecdotes, nature and art. The whole monument is included in this indispensable tour. The tour is completely personal and you are the one who sets the pace.

We took the Alhambra tour with our guide, Juan Antônio, and the experience was simply wonderful. The tour was relaxed, extremely informative, and despite covering so much historical content, it never felt tiring or dull — quite the opposite, time flew by because it was so engaging. Nono was incredibly attentive from start to finish, from our first questions before the tour all the way to the end, always patient and willing to explain every detail. A huge plus was that the tour was conducted in Portuguese, which made everything even easier to follow and made the whole experience even more special. I recommend him without any hesitation to anyone visiting the Alhambra. It’s absolutely worth it!

Juan Antonio is a wonderful guide. Before I even arrived in Spain he provided very clear instructions on tickets and meeting. The Alhambra can be very confusing and he made it simple for the first-timer! The tour itself was great! He is a wealth of knowledge on the history. He answered all my many questions and he has a very objective view of the history. He is also just a really nice guy, easy to talk to and relaxed. He gave me excellent tips for the rest of my time in Granada and told me the best way to get back to the train station.

Juan Antonio is wonderful! He gave my husband and me an excellent tour of The Alhambra; he’s very knowledgeable about its history and restoration, and he approaches the tour as a conversation with you. We were interested in the gardens and he had lots of information to share. He also gave us great information and recommendations for Granada overall, including 2 terrific restaurants. I would recommend Juan Antonio to anyone going to Granada and The Alahambra.

Outstanding guide. Very informative and friendly guide to show you the Alhambra. Don't overlook General life though. Very pretty and has great views of the castle.

We had a wonderful private tour of Alhambra with Juan Antonio. He was very informative and kind and offered tremendous history and background to all parts of the tour. He is fluent in English and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour. We had an evening tour from 1700-2000 and found that to be a perfect time for a visit. Thanks again Juan Antonio.

Your Granada tour itinerary

The best option would be meeting by the "Alhambra mural map", by the ticket office, from 2 h- 0, 5 h before your schedule to the Nasrid Palaces. That way we could take the tickets directly in case you booked them with some kind of discount. Once we are ready to start and depending on the time of your tickets for the palaces, we will visit the whole monument, that includes: - Nasrid Palaces - Alcazaba fortress - Generalife gardens - Charles V Palace At the end of our tour I can take you back to the meeting point. *It is essential bringing personal documents (photo of the passport works) of each visitor with them. Please let me know in advance if I need to pick you up from your hotel.
