Informative and enjoyable insight into a very important part of Granada history. - An informative enjoyable trip, excellent guide, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
Being older, we were concerned that the gradient on the hills might hold us back but it was managed very well to suit all of the group. A great relaxing way to learn the history of an interesting part of Granada. Thank you!

Neighborhoods of Granada - Alex was a fabulous guide! Very knowledgeable about history, religion and culture. We had a large group and you felt very included. He was kind to wait for those of us who took a little longer going up the hills and stairs. Great experience!

Excellent Tour - As we had a limited amount of time in Granada we wanted to see as much as we could in a two hour window. Tripadvisor lead me to this tour company based in the city centre.
Our tour guide was Mario who was friendly, professional and very informative. Luckily for us, no one else had booked the 3pm tour so we ended up with a private guide!
We covered quite a distance (be sure to wear your walking shoes) and saw parts of the city we would never have seen otherwise. Mario adjusted the tour to our interests and level of fitness, with lots of stops in shaded, cool places to get more info.
We loved every minute of our time exploring Albaicín and Sacromonte and highly recommend this tour.

Tour dependent on group and guide - The tour was good with interesting history albeit a little disjointed. We registered for a private tour which was cancelled that morning so we were placed in a group tour. The tour moved VERY slowly as participants were unable to walk up the incline or keep up with the group. I don’t know if the private tour would have been able to cover more ground and therefore more history and content.
