5 Shore Excursions Tours in Granada to Build a Day Around

1.For Cruise Passengers ONLY: Granada and Alhambra from Malaga Port

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 118 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $172Our pick

Skip the line at Alhambra with a guide from Malaga Port, then see Nasrid Palaces and Generalife, plus optional Granada center time for cruise schedules.

“Excellent experience to visit an amazing site! We were worried about the timing of such a long trip & the timing to return to the cruise ship. No problem at all! The one small hiccup we had was looking for the agent holding the Viator sign on the dock. The agent was holding the sign of the organizing company, not Viator. There is a good deal of walking on uneven ground so wearing comfortable walking shoes is a must. Bringing water is also helpful. Both our bus and Alhambra guides were very knowledgeable & approachable. Great experience!”

He make sure that they had easy access to as much as possible while still ensuring that the rest of us could see everything. He was incredibly knowledgable about not only what he showed us but also could answer all of our many questions about the time period. We HIGHLY recommend him for an amazing tour of La Alhambra!”

Both towns were spectacular and Ana sure did not disappoint as a guide! Must do!”
