We really enjoyed the tour and especially our guide Nacho. We learned so much about the two neighborhoods and the history of Granada. Can’t wait to come back for a longer stay.

Marta was very informative and pleasant to be with. We learned the history of the area and about the daily life of people living in Grenada at this time.

We had a wonderful informative tour of the Alhambra with Matías. His knowledge and charisma made the tour very fun and we learned a great deal about the history of the Alhambra. Matías’ enthusiasm and passion about the subject matter made the tour exceptionally memorable. It be is a must do!

A fantastic tour of walking tour of Albaicin and Sacromonte in Granada. Our guide, Alberto, showed us parts of Granada we would have never seen, describing interesting and out of the way sites and the history of Granada throughout the tour. We were able to view the Alhambra from three (!!) different vantage points as the day progressed from late afternoon to early evening.

Rubén is a great guide. He brings history to life. Takes you on paths less traveled with better views and less congestion. Great tour!

If you go to Granada, this tour is a must. Seeing corners of the city that you might otherwise miss, it also helps you better understand the cultures and history of the city - while at the same time offering a complementary perspective of the Alhambra. Marta was phenomal and we highly recommend her!

Our host, Virginia provided a thorough and interesting overview of the Albiacin and Sacramonte neighborhoods of Granada. We walked up and down the narrow streets and took in unique buildings, local history, and spectacular views of the Alhambra from the top hills
of the neighborhood. Virginia has a unique background for helping us understand the complex religious, ethnic, and economic conflicts that have changed over many years. The gypsy stories of the Sacramonte were fun and different.
It was a warm day, and some areas were exposed, but we did stop a few times for refreshment.
Overall I highly recommend the tour with Virginia to learn more about Granadas history than just the Alhambra.

Paula was a wonderful guide who made this part of Granada come to life for us! She was charming and delightful, had a great command of the history, and knew all the best places to stop. Highly recommend!!

Very nice experience. An excellent guide who loves what she does, Marta, and who in addition to love of her city has a wide knowledge of its history.

Preciosa, lastima que por una procesión de la cual no se tenia conocimiento cerraron algunos accesos.
Esther, la guia, un encanto. Nos acercó a la historia con historias, chismes y anecdotas.
