Alhambra visit

Posted by (Kansas City) on

We are heading to Granada in September and are overwhelmed with the ticket options.
I was thinking we would take the general ticket for a tour staring in the AM.
The following day we would take the monuments tour and that evening an evening tour of the Alhambra.

Has anyone experience with tours for the Alhambra, recommended?
I've considered the Alhambra Experience tickets, but the comments here suggest we need a daytime visit to Palacios Nazaries.
As far as nighttime tickets, which ones? Palacios Nazaries or Gardens and Generalife?

We have 3 days and 4 nights in Granada.

Love any input.

first, may I ask if you are using the official site for tickets? https://www.alhambra-patronato.es/en It isn't easy to find, but this is the official site.
I had 5 days in Granada and decided to get the Dobla D'Oro ticket with night entry to the Nazrid Palace, and bought the General admission the next day for the first entry into the Palace. I will say, I enjoyed the magic of the night visit and am glad I did it first. You don't need the Dobla d'Oro but as I was in the city for some days (you can use it the day before and the day after the day of Alhambra entry - so over 3 days), I did explore the other buildings (monuments) throughout the town. I would also recommended the Palace night visit over the Gardens, but that is just personal choice.
I don't see a 'monuments tour' on the ticket site, so where are you getting that from? It has been a few years since I was there, so memory is vague, but they may have a docent in charge of visiting the sites anyway, so not sure a guided tour is necessary.
