Raul was a great guide! He knew so much, and made the whole experience so personal and engaging, the time flew! Will definitely join another one of his tours when I’m back in Granada
Beautiful areas i wouldn't have seen on my own, knowledgeable gguide ... lots of walking up hill in the first half
This was a wonderful evening tour showcasing the historic Granada districts of Albaicín and Sacromonte. These districts reflect the rich Moorish culture of Granada and provide stunning panoramic views of the Alhambra. Our tour guide Mario was exceptionally well versed not only in the history and culture of Granada but all of Andalucía and Spain. His English was excellent as was his ability to relate to tour guests. The tour does involve some moderately challenging uphill walking on narrow roads and steps but Mario was patient and always safety conscious. This was a very enjoyable and informative tour that I would highly recommend.
The tour with Mario was far better than expected. It wasn’t just a walk around the Albaicín — we also had time for great conversations and to exchange views not only about the area itself, but also about Granada and Spain in general. Mario has excellent knowledge of the history and geography, and he also has a fantastic eye for taking stunning pictures. Highly recommended!
Great evening tour in Granada. Excellent views of the Alhambra. Mario was awesome. Strongly recommended
I loved the tour with Mario; I learned a lot about the history of Albaicin and Sacramonte. We were also able to visit a cave house and another viewpoint much less touristy than San Nicolás, with very good views of the Alhambra.
Fantastic tour with Mario! He provided a wealth of information on the history and culture of Granada. We went to several incredible miradors with phenomenal views of the Alhambra and had plenty of time for pictures and enjoying the view. Great way to see this beautiful city!
Andrea was a great guide and very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved her. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Great tour, we opted to take the bus uphil to save our legs. Highly recommend if you have a slow walker or knee issues. Our guide was amazing, she had great knowledge of history she shared, took us to amazing views and off the beaten path A great way to see the alhambra for photos!
The tour provider was very flexible when we had a train cancellation. They graciously allowed us to reschedule our tour the next day. We enjoyed the wonderful sights of the Old Town of Granada. It was a sunny day and the sunset was incredible, especially as it lit up the Alhambra. Just amazing! We highly recommend.
