Our small group (8 people) was guided very entertainingly by Mario, practically trilingually, through the evening Sacromonte and Albaicin of Granada. Mario conducted the tour in Spanish and for me also in English and very good German. He told us very impressively about the history of the city and, for example, the special construction and way of life of the houses that were built into the mountain/into caves. Very vividly explained by Mario, narrow alleys, a labyrinth. And great views of the Alhambra in the light of the setting sun. Thank you very much for this wonderful tour!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I discovered this place just by walking by, and I was warmly welcomed by the amazing Fabib with the biggest smile! He explained everything to me so nicely that I decided to book the tour right away, and I honestly don’t regret it at all! I had the tour with LT, and he was absolutely amazing! He was so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I genuinely didn’t feel the time passing , it felt like I was exploring the place with a friend rather than being on a tour. Fabib & LT, I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful experience! ❤️ I’ll definitely come back to see you again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great tour and an even better experience. Thank you both so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lautaro is very professional and showed us many impressive points of view
Great place for kids. Fun to walk across the bridges, but crowded.
Mario our tour guide has so much knowledge of not just Spain and granada but well educated in history in general. Mario was happy to answer as many questions as you needed to. Nice tour and experience.
We thought we’d be with a group of other people, but it ended up being a “private”tour with the guide which was cool! Our guide was from Argentina with a great appreciation for Spain’s history and the Muslim influence in Granada which was nice. He was super friendly and patient (my mom had some trouble with the steps). He showed us to places we would’ve never known to go to and make a walk out of it. Every stop was gorgeous. It was wonderfully timed, and he gave us two 15 minute breaks. My only note is that I wish the tour had notified us of the steps and uphill walking. Would do it again! Totally worth it for someone who hasn’t been and doesn’t know where to start.
Thanks Mario for showing us areas of Granada we wouldn’t have found on our own. Was very interesting
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.
