The free tour was guided by Helena. All your explanations were great. Very detailed about the most relevant of the historic center of Granada.

Es fantástico saber que consiguió transmitir de forma detallada y amena la historia y los lugares más relevantes del centro histórico. ¡Gracias por elegirnos para descubrir Granada y esperamos volver a verle pronto! ❤️
Good value Knowledgeable and pleasant guide
Thank you very much for your review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, appreciated our guide’s knowledge and friendliness, and found the experience good value. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again soon!
I did the free night tour of Granada with the guide Laura and it was very good! Although I had already done a free tour of Granada by day, it is true that at night it has another charm
The tour spent a good portion of the time in the Cathedral, which is definitely worth seeing. The tour was in English, as requested, however the guide had a heavy accent. She seemed very knowledgeable, but we had difficulties understanding everything she said.
One of the best free tours I've ever done. The guide, Antonio, was not only a perfect connoisseur of the city, but also enriched the visit with many historical anecdotes from Granada and elsewhere. He showed us some of the most iconic places in the city. In other free tours they have been somewhat insistent on the theme of reviews and economic valuation of the tour; Antonio, however, only told us about these aspects after the tour. 100% recommended
Muchas gracias por tu valoración. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste tanto el free tour con Antonio y que te transmitió la historia de Granada de una manera amena y respetuosa. Creemos que la ciudad se entiende mejor cuando se descubren sus rincones icónicos junto con esas anécdotas que solo un guía local puede compartir. Encantados de que lo recomiendes y esperamos volver a verte pronto.
Our guide, Abel, is a very knowledgeable guide. His deep knowledge of art history shows. However, if you are looking for a walking tour that takes you around the different places in Granada, then this is not the tour for you. The tour focuses solely on the Royal Chapel and the Cathedral with a 10-15 minute stop at the souk. I think this tour should be named the Cathedral Tour.
I cannot recommend this tour enough. I am blanking on the name of my tour guide because it took me quite some time to get to this but we got this pic with her because she was so extraordinary! She does such an incredible job of telling the story behind the art but adding her own flavor. She is hilarious!!!!!!! This was so enjoyable. I could have spent hours with her. She is so charismatic, knowledgable, and engaging. I can't recommend her enough:-)
Fifteen minutes late and there were several orange umbrellas. One vendor said your tour stood the orange umbrella idea from them.
Estella was knowledgeable, charming and funny - she was able to speak with confidence while being informative and entertaining at the same time. She arrived promptly; she acknowledged everyone in a friendly manner and opened her orange umbrella so she was visible.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed the tour with Estella. Her ability to combine knowledge with warmth and humour truly makes exploring Granada a memorable experience. We are glad that her punctuality and attention to every detail helped make your first visit to the city so special. We hope to welcome you again soon for your next trip to Granada.
