BEST day in Spain! - By far the best day and tour of our 1.5 weeks in Spain!!! Carlos was so fantastic- we visited several absolutely beautiful villages in the highest mountains, he took us through little quaint neighborhoods we never would have found on our own, made several special stops on the road for beautiful vistas, canyons and bridges, and gave us 1.5 hours of free time to eat and shop. Carlos made the trip! He is so knowledgeable, fun, personable and funny. The absolute highlight of our trip to Spain!!!

Out of the City, A Great Way to See Granada - It was a great way to see what was outside of the City. We had a van with 5 people total making it an intimate to get to know new people - New Zealander and Scottish. Our driver was very informative and accommodating as we had some walking concerns. He took us the ways it would be less taxing. He stopped along the way to tell us about the history of the area, gave us some time to explore and see the local sites. We ended up at an amazing area to have lunch. He actually pointed the local restaurants vs. the "tourist" restaurants and it was really great. One of the party had a steak which was thick and perfectly done. He finished it plus all the potatoes and said it was the best steak he had ever had. (He was also 30 years old!)
We enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend doing the smaller tour. It was our last full day in Granada making it ever more memorable.

Great experience! - We had such a wonderful time traveling to and learning about the villages that make up the Alpujarras. Manuel, our driver and guide was courteous and knowledgeable! He was a great driver (very safe)! It was more of a personalized tour because it was just my friend and I which was so lovely!!! Great, relaxing experience with wonderful views!

Magical trip to the Alpujarra villages! - My husband and I had a fantastic trip to the villages in the Alpujarra region of the Sierra Nevada. The mountains, landscape and signs of spring everywhere were breathtaking. Our guide, Gonzalo was knowledgeable, professional, kind and enthusiastic. Gonzalo is proficient in English and made sure that both Spanish and English speakers alike were able to participate and ask questions. We liked the small group experience as we were able to connect easily and make new friends on the tour. We learned so much about the history of the region and the interesting architecture of the lovely white villages. Gonzalo was an excellent driver, navigating the winding roads with ease. He recommended a marvelous restaurant where we had one of the best meals we’ve ever had in Spain. Highly recommend!

Amazing day tour from Granada! Well worth it! - My sister and I decided to do something different for our last day in Granada. We are so glad we signed up for this tour of Las Alpujarras!
We were fortunate to have our tour guide, Gonzalo, all to ourselves! Gonzalo showed us incredible spots with stunning views, stopping at beautiful mountain villages, and sharing with us details on the history and culture of the region. He also gave us a great recommendation for a most delicious and bountiful lunch at a very friendly, family-run restaurant. He also introduced us to a pair of lovely ladies who are keeping alive the art of weaving using traditional looms. The scarves we purchased will forever remind us of the incredible time we spent with Gonzalo in Las Alpujarras.
We also appreciated what a good careful and good driver he is! He navigated the winding roads up the mountains very well!
I HIGHLY recommend this day tour to anyone wanting an off-the-beaten path experience while visiting Granada. Thank you, Gonzalo!

Fantastic trip to visit outside of Granada - We had a perfect day on this trip into the Sierra Nevada. We saw, and walked through, several gorgeous small towns with fantastic views of both the snow above and canyons below. Manuel took to us to some fascinating spots. He was an excellent driver, and an overall great guide who also took us to a special local family restaurant for one of most delicious meals, ever. Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful trip... - This was a wonderful trip - helped by the fact that we were the only two travellers. Gonzalo was so knowledgeable about the area and we visited sites that we would never have found by ourselves. He gave us time to explore the villages and recommended a super restaurant for lunch. Overall a great day!
