Both Yosin on the visit to the Albaicín and Sacromonte, and Belén on the visit to the Alhambra acted as wonderful hosts. They gave us a tour at a relaxed and pleasant pace. We had been to Granada on other occasions but choosing this guide service this time was a success. Thanks for everything!

The guide was excellent with sharing the history of the neighborhoods and we saw several viewpoints of the city. At the end a very helpful list of restaurant and bar recommendations was given that helped me to enjoy the city more with food and authentic atmospheres.

We had a lovely walk through the different areas. The guide was informative, friendly and interactive. Highly recommend this tour!

Make sure to ask for Juana as your guide. She is very knowledgeable and informative
