Great walking tour

Excellent walking tour, we explored areas that we would not have found on our own, with great viewpoints of the Alhambra. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend doing the tour to explore these areas

walking tour with Mario

Mario was an excellent guide. The walk is very hilly with lots of steps, and he paced the tour to our walking abilities. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I'd highly recommend this tour with Mario!

We recommend this tour for day 1 or 2 of your Granada trip

Mario and Raul were great guides. We wish we did this tour on the first day of our trip. It filled in the timeline and gave great historical context for our stay in Granada.
