Traveler reviews
A lovely tour in the Albaicín
Andrea is an enthusiastic, engaging, and fun young guide which clearly shines through in her passion for Andalusian culture, art, and nature, and the tour through the Albaicín, the Sacromonte Abbey, and the cave houses, enhanced by stunning views of the Alhambra, was especially enjoyable and definitely worth seeing. Grazie
Great experience

A wonderful breath taking walk
Marta as our Tour Guide was the best Guide ever. Very competent, eloquent, very well prepared, tramendous background knowledge, charming, polite, gentle. We enjoyed These two hours so much and are inspired to discover more places around Granada. Thanks to Marta!
Excellent tour with Marta!
We had originally planned to visit the Alhambra but every monument and museum was closed due to inclement weather so we ended up taking a private walking tour of Albayzin and Sacromonte. Marta was an excellent guide—so knowledgeable and charming—and we had such a great time despite the weather! She even gave us some great recommendations for tapas in Granada. I cannot recommend taking a tour with Marta highly enough—we love her!!
Disgraceful attitude - don’t use!
It was our last day. We were looking forward very much to this tour. We arrived 10 minutes early as requested. 10 minutes after the tour was due to due to start they told us the guide had called in sick. Retund in 5 days. And marked the reason for refund as force majeur - significant global event. When I pointed out that it wasn’t she said ‘is sickness not significant enough for you!’ Rude, disorganised. Our plans for our final day are ruined. Don’t use!!!
