I would repeat!
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...
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.

An essential to start knowing the city
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
Operator response
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.

Great tour but it should be named differently
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.

This is the best tour guide in Granada
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:-)

No experience at all.
Fifteen minutes late and there were several orange umbrellas. One vendor said your tour stood the orange umbrella idea from them.

First of many trips to Granada…
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.

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.
