An itinerary mentioning the Nasrid Palaces is not evidence that the guide supplies admission. The ticket and guide may have separate cancellation conditions.

Before you book

Does booking a guide-only option secure Alhambra entry?

No. These services do not supply the required admission. Arrange the correct ticket first, then match its date, included areas and Nasrid slot to the guiding service.

What should match between the ticket and the guide?

Your visit date, the route covered by your ticket and any timed palace entry must fit the guide’s meeting and itinerary. Admission and guiding can have different cancellation conditions because they are separate bookings.

For official ticket differences and current visitor rules, read Tickets explained and Plan your visit.
