A tour not to miss, Mario was spectacular!

This was an excellent tour. The staff members at the office were lovely, but our tour guide, Mario, was fabulous! The tour was well paced, informative, and overall added to our appreciation of Grenada. There was a lot of walking, but we enjoyed the exercise. The views were breathtaking. We highly recommend this. Overall we are very happy customers!

Educational and interesting!

We were lucky enough to end up on a private tour with Mario, who not only showed us the scenic viewpoints but shared his vast knowledge of the history of the area as well as current social/economic issues. Mario studied history and multiple languages at university, and generally has a curiosity and appreciation of world history and culture, so was able to provide important context to the sights we were admiring. We really enjoyed the overview of Spanish history in the Andalusia region and would highly recommend taking a tour with Mario.

Great semi-private tour

Very scenic towns that attract large numbers of tour groups. Spectacular views in both towns along with charming architecture. Chesko was a great guide.
