Great walking tour! - I did this tour with my friends in January and we had an amazing time! We did the tour in Spanish with a small group. Our guide was amazing! He made all the historical facts fit in an entertaining and interesting story, making us see the city through a more colorful lens. I would definitely recommend!

Hits all the central city highlights - Granada city center is very walkable and this tour is suitable for nearly all fines levels (there are some up hill slopes and stairs but only a few). We hit all the highlights plus a few more unknown places.

Great way to get to know Granada - We had a fabulous outing with our guide Lorena. She kept the tour moving at a great pace and gave us tons of information about the city, restaurants, sights. We were worried there would not be much to do on a Sunday morning and this was perfect way to go!

Fun and informative, a great introduction to this amazing city - We did the free English walking tour with Lorena on Saturday 8th November, meeting in Plaza Nueva at 1100.
The walk was a 5* experience from start to finish, well paced with plenty of facts and stories about the history and society of Granada, but not too much information to take in.
Lorena's delivery was very engaging and she had a good sense of humour which added fun to the tour.
It was an excellent introduction to a beautiful and interesting city, with payments collected by cash or card at the end, whatever you felt the tour was worth.
Highly recommended to all.

Very interesting and informative - Good tour of Granada city centre and into neighbouring Albaicín. Our guide, Marta, was very impressive with her knowledge and command of English. Remember to take cash with you to pay/tip the guide (I discovered I only had about 10 Euros on me in cash - should have given more)
