Highly recommended visit - Visit for framing and a very charming tour. We have been to Granada several times and wanted to get to know these two neighborhoods well, we really liked passing through streets that we had never seen. The guide, Cristina, great. We thought being a two and a half hour visit we were going to get tired, but not at all. Situating on historical dates and events, linking with anecdotes and curiosities has been able to keep our attention throughout the tour. In a formal and fun tone at the same time, you can see the work and effort behind it. It has been one of our best guided views we have ever done.

Alcaicín and Sacramento better with a guide - The guide José turned the tour into an interesting, enjoyable and fun experience, certainly visiting the Albaicín and the Sacramente with a guide greatly improves the visit.

Good guided tour - Jaime was a lively and informative guide. Good interaction between seeing and hearing. We got the story of the Arabic Granada and the two neighborhoods Albaycin and Sacromonte.

Interesting tour but hard walk for seniors - I enjoyed this walking tour of Albayzin, the Moorish quarter, and Sacromonte where Roma gypsies settled. The whole area is hilly, so you’d have to walk up the steep hills and many steps. I’m glad I was able to keep up with other travelers but I have to warn other seniors that it is not an easy walk. I also saw some cave dwellings in Sacromonte and went inside one cave house. But I was bitten by some insect, so I had to get out of the cave house immediately. It was an interesting walking tour and I also enjoyed the view of the Alhambra.
