Pablo was very knowledgeable and communicated well which made the tour very interesting. Would definitely recommend.
We would like to tell you that the guided tour was interesting! Alas! We are still waiting for the guide who simply did not come to the appointment! 50 minutes waiting under a scorching sun eeeet ... nobody! See you when the refund of a ghost visit! What a lack of seriousness! It's unacceptable!
We had an appointment at 5pm on Place Pl. Isabel la Católica for a guided group tour. We arrived at 16:45 and waited until 17:15. No one came, and the claimant is unreachable!
We had the great pleasure of taking a walking tour with Mario, a guide we met at the Plaza Nueva tour office. Although we were staying in Albaicin, Mario took us to many places we would have never seen or known about. He was very knowledgable regarding the history of the area, personable, and paced the tour well as much of it was uphill. He made it easy and enjoyable for us. The tour of Sacromante was particularly interesting. We highly recommend you ask for him if you have the pleasure of spending time in Granada.
I think this is a must do if you have the opportunity to visit Granada. Our guide, Marta, was exceptional. She was funny, engaging and VERY well informed. She made this trip well worth our time, and left us with some great recommendations for dinner!

We did this tour with Sixthrills with Mario as our guide. He was a wealth of historical information, good English, and very open to all our questions. The albaicin is a maze of cobbled streets that he navigated with lots of commentary and explanations. The added bonus was that we did NOT get lost! Mario brought us to a number of beautiful view points. We continued to climb to see the caves in Sacromonte. Be aware there are lots of stairs and incline. We were lucky to be the only couple of this tour so Mario was able to accommodate to our tempo and ability. Thank you for a great tour!
Thank you very much for your comments. We hope to count on you in the future to continue enjoying our experiences. Best regards
We hired a guided tour, and Micaela our guide, very professional, explains it very well although the head does not stop to retain so much information. Very good choice to know history
The Albaicin and Sacromonte walking tour is a must for a visit to Granada. The views of the city from this location are incredible. Our tour guide was Josh. He was very knowledgable about the history of the area and his English was excellent. The only issue was that he walked very fast. We asked him if he could slow down a bit. This tour has many stairs and going up hill was very strenuous. You really have to be in great shape to do it. One of my friends has compromised lungs and it was very difficult for her. Going a bit more slowly would have helped. He did wait for us, however at each stop. He did not leave us where we left from, although it was close. We knew where we were but there were a couple of young gals who had no idea. All in all, it was worth the time and money.
Thank you so much for your comment! We are happy to know that you enjoyed the Albycin and Sacromonte tour. We hope the rest of your journey was enjoyable as well.
Thank you Gabriela. It was a lovely one. I loved it. He explained everything, everything they asked him. It's lovely.
¡Hola! Muchas gracias por compatir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que la visita con Gabriela ha sido muy uena. ¡Esperamos volver a verte pronto en otra actividad de Pancho Tours!
Josh was an excellent and interesting tour guide who spoke English very well. Tour provided fascinating sights and stories. Great to be able to go into a Sacromonte Cave home. The only addition I would have liked would have been to go into one of the Albaicín homes, though the tour guide, Josh, did point out one that we could visit and explore ourselves later.
