We loved it! - Excellent historical explanations and context given to the areas, which made the places and city come to life in ways you miss if you just walk them yourself. Very genuine and kind guides.

Fantastic walking tour - Mario was a fantastic guide. We covered a lot of ground but it did not feel rushed. Pleasant pace & many helpful recommendations by Mario to visit later.

A History Lesson and a Workout - Our guide Alejandro did an excellent job of explaining the history of the Albaycin and Sacromonte. This tour is definitely a workout and not recommended for those who have health issues as the Albaycin is a challenging hike and total workout. We were happy to learn so much about the Albaycin and Sacromonte and happy to make it through the journey with Alejandro. Make sure to bring 1 Euro per person to see inside the cave house in Sacromonte. We enjoyed our tour with Alejandro and highly recommend it!

Genial - The visit was great the Guide Javier was super attentive and friendly, you could tell that he likes what he explains, on the other hand in Sacromonte to see a cave we had to pay € 1, it is not the money but, I think it would have to be included in the price. I also think we should have done more streets, the route is to go up and down without more although if you have never been to Granada, you halluciflate! Mind you!! We took a lot of pictures 😊

Highly recommended - We took the hours from 10 to 12h and it was a success, because it was not even hot and you finish at the perfect time to have some tapas. Our Guide Mario was very friendly and you could tell he liked his work. Highly recommended.

The tour around Albayzin and Sacromonte - Tour date: 14 August, 18h
Our tour guide, Mario, the Cuban lad, was very friendly and informative. Thanks to him we learnt a lot. If you are in the city and want to know a bit about its history, this definitely is the one to participate in.

Informative and fun tour to some of the gems of Granada! - We went on the Hidden treasures tour with Mario. It was a great way to discover remote and less walked places that offer breathtaking views of the Alhambra. Mario also likes to share his extensive knowledge of the city. We warmly recommend it!

Just ok, not super interesting - It was a little uninspiring, but the guide was good. Just didn’t get a lot out of the tour. Some standing around for photo ops….
