PALACE TOURS · SPAIN PALACE TOURS
Granada, Seville, Madrid and Córdoba hold four completely different ideas of a palace, and three of them are timed. These 15 are priced a head, with slot rules and how far ahead each one needs booking.
Use your timed entry at the Puerta del León to explore Seville’s Royal Alcázar independently. You’ll see Moorish and Christian architecture, tiled rooms, palace courtyards, gardens, and Game of Thrones filming sites. An audio guide costs extra, and Royal Bedroom access may require a separate fee.
“Amazing extensive grounds- I spent a few hours wandering around the gardens.”
Explore Granada’s Alhambra in three hours with entry to the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, Generalife, Palace of Charles V, and Mosque Baths. A guide such as Antonio, Patricia, or Guillermo brings the art, legends, fountains, and royal stories to life in English, Spanish, French, German, or Italian.
“Our guide was awesome! So glad we had a guide throughout the tour as it enriched our experience ten fold. I would absolutely recommend using a tour guide for anyone visiting the Alhambra.”
Visit the Alhambra complex without joining a group. Your timed entry is for the Nasrid Palaces, while the Alcazaba, Generalife, Palace of Charles V, Mosque Baths, and exhibitions can be visited the same day. Bring your passport or ID, allow 15 minutes to walk from the entrance to the palaces, and expect plenty of stairs.
“Absolutely mesmerizing architecture and very cool to learn about the history of this area.”
Use a fast-access ticket to enter Madrid’s Royal Palace through the Almudena esplanade gate. See the Throne Room, Banquet Hall, Hall of Mirrors, royal apartments, paintings by Goya and Velázquez, and the Royal Armory. Plan about 75 minutes, or longer if you read every display.
“Easy to purchase and enter the palace with the app and e ticket. There were lots of interesting ornaments and decor to see.”
Spend about three hours with a licensed guide at Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, and the Royal Alcázar. Maria, Lourdes, Lou, Ana, and others are praised for clear storytelling and humor. Skip-the-line tickets, radio headsets, and a digital Seville guide are included.
“Our tour was very well organised. Our guide, Maria, was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the tour as Maria gave us a lot of interesting facts in a very accessible way. Without her input we would not be able to appreciate certain parts, artefacts and places that we have seen alongside our tour. The climb to the top of the Giralda tower can be a bit challenging as there are 34 ramps to get to the top. It is definitely worth an effort if you can do it as you can see a panoramic view of Seville. We were very lucky as the weather was beautiful…”
Join a small or private group for a 2.5-hour guided visit to Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, and the Alcazar. Guides such as Joseph, Maria, Carmen, and Jose Miguel bring history, art, legends, and humor to the tour. Expect walking, ramps, security rules, and a fast-paced visit.
“Today’s tour with Joseph was so, so cool. He has an amazing and really funny sense of humor, which made the whole experience even better. Time absolutely flew by he shared so much information and showed us so many interesting things along the way. Just one small note: as a huge Game of Thrones fan, and knowing that there were quite a few filming locations connected to the show, I would have loved to hear a bit more about Game of Thrones or maybe see some pictures and really imagine specific scenes from the series. That would have made an already great tour even more special😊”
Meet your English, Spanish, French, or Italian-speaking guide at Opera Metro Station, walk through Plaza de Oriente, then enter Madrid’s Royal Palace by a priority route. See the Throne Room, Banquet Hall, Private Royal Apartments, Goya and Giordano artworks, and explore the gardens independently.
“Lydia is a fantastic guide! The tour was very interesting, totally enjoyable and much better than expected. The place is awesome, definitely recommend :-)”
Walk through the Alhambra’s Nasrid Palaces, Court of the Lions, Alcazaba, Charles V Palace, and Generalife Gardens with a French, English, or Spanish-speaking guide. Guides such as Carlos, Jose, Veronica, and Jolanda add history, practical direction, and photo tips to this $88 small-group visit.
“An incredible tour. Our guide Veronica was so passionate and knowledgeable. We learned so much and never felt rushed”
You’ll visit Segovia and Toledo by air-conditioned coach with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide. Expect the Roman aqueduct, Alcázar entry, medieval streets, free time, and optional Toledo Cathedral access. Guides such as Mateo, Benny, Elena, and Maria have earned especially warm praise.
“Was great trip and the guide Aline was very nice and knowledgable about the info that she shared about the cities history”
Spend 2.5 to 3 hours with a licensed guide at Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, and the Royal Alcázar. You’ll see Columbus’s tomb, Moorish courtyards, royal gardens, and Game of Thrones locations. Guides such as Melissa, Carolina, Adriana, and Irene are known for lively storytelling.
“our guide!!! Irina!! absolutely outstanding!! thank you for making these monuments and the history of Sevilla come alive!!”
Join an official guide for a 2 to 3 hour Alhambra visit in Granada. Choose full entry to the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, and Generalife Gardens, or tour the grounds and key viewpoints without palace admission. Guides may lead in English, Spanish, French, German, or Italian.
“Some areas are not suitable for pram/stroller. Better to use carrier but check weather conditions.”
Walk central Madrid with guides such as Javier, David, Christian, or Miguel, using maps, visuals, stories, and local tips. In 2.5 hours, you’ll see Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, the Arab Wall, Plaza de la Villa, Almudena Cathedral, and the Royal Palace area. Palace entry is not included.
“Javier Santos was great. He has good sense of humor. Has good knowledge of Spainish history and culture ..................................................................”
Collect your Alhambra ticket at Granavision’s Welcome Visitor Centre, then explore the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, and Generalife at your own pace. The GPS audio guide works in several languages, with city tips for museums, monuments, tapas, and restaurants. Bring your passport and headphones.
“Everything was perfect. Ladies at pick up point were really helful and nice. Audioguide was great, whith lovely music and interesting stories, I really enjoyed it. And ofcourse, Alhambra is astonishing 😍”
Spend 11 hours visiting Toledo and Segovia from Madrid, with guided walks, a Mirador del Valle photo stop, Segovia’s Roman aqueduct, and optional entry to the Alcázar and cathedral. Choose the lunch option for a traditional meal, with guides such as JJ, Alicia, Khan, and Enrique leading groups in English or Spanish.
“Our guide was incredible, she was so knowledgeable and really passionate about her role, we learnt so much. It was very well organised and we knew what we were doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend our tour guide. Thank you so much Jan and Morgan”
Spend about four hours with a monolingual guide exploring Córdoba’s Mosque-Cathedral, Jewish Quarter, Synagogue, Caliphal Baths, and Alcázar. Guides such as Jaime, Lola, Susanna, and Ruben bring the sites to life with clear history and humor. Until March 1, the closed Alcázar is replaced by a shorter route.
“Our guide was fantastic—personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. He was very thorough, shared so much history in an easy-to-follow way, and was genuinely happy to answer any questions. The pace of the tour was comfortable, and he made sure we understood the significance of each site, especially inside the Mosque-Cathedral, which was incredible with his context. The Alcázar was closed during our visit, so we were taken to the Caliphal Baths and the Alcázar gardens instead, which was a good replacement and added some interesting history to the day. Overall, it was a great tour, a good value, and a wonderful way to explore Córdoba. I highly recommend visiting Córdoba!”
A named palace, a kind of ticket, or a whole country of them.
