Really excellent morning of exploring - Mario our guide was hugely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and warm. Unlike
Many tours I have participated in, he didn’t just read off a script, he engaged in a dialogue and discussion with us about our impressions on Grenada, the area etc. He shared his favourite places in the city including a phenomenal ice cream and coffee place.

Unique and Personable - We loved this tour! We went with Mario who was super friendly and funny with a ton of knowledge about history, language and culture in Granada. I especially liked that we were off the regular tourist streets, off the beaten track with a little time for a beer at the top of the mirador ;)
Very recommended.

Incredible tour, lots of fun with an extremely knowledgeable guide! - I had a tour with Enrique! He was so knowledgeable and so much fun! Enrique was so personable. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! I was on a short day trip from Malaga but his tour made me want to come and explore Granada in more detail! He gave me so many onward recommendations for food etc. I went to one of his recommendations for a drink and tapas and it didn’t disappoint! So authentic and a completely local experience!
PS If you’re like me and never carry cash, make sure you bring some along, you have the option of going into one of the cave hours for a couple of coins and annoyingly I didn’t have any cash on me! 😩

- Had a wonderful walking tour of Granada's Hidden Treasures, the Albayzin and Sacromonte areas with Enrique M. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable and well informed. Loved every moment! Felt like a private tour. I feel like, I now have a friend in Granada! Mucho gracias Enrique!

Very Happy Despite the Heat - My friend and I booked the 12pm tour and our guide Mario was very mindful of the heat. Instead of walking up the hill, Mario organised for the group to catch a bus to the top of the hill. He gave plenty of opportunities to pause during our walk and pointed out places to get water along the way. Our guide was also very knowledgeable and shared information and pointed out places of interest along the way. The 2 hour tour went by much quicker than I expected!

Absolutely amazing tour guide - The tour was amazing, and the tour guide Mario was the best. He was very considerate of the midday heat, so he did his best to take us through areas with decent shade, and he gave us so much great information about the history of the albayzin as well as great places to visit in the albayzin.

Highly Recommended - I was a bit hesitant to do this walking tour due to the fact that I had blisters on my feet from hiking the Caminito del Rey a few days prior. However, my guide, Mario, was extremely accommodating.
We took the bus to the top of the Albaicín and walked down, cutting the walk time in half while still allowing us to see the beautiful panoramic views of the Alhambra and the city. We also tried local tapas and stopped at the cave museum in Sacramonte.
Mario explained the history of Granada along the way, giving context to all of the sites and landmarks that we were exploring. He also gave great recommendations for restaurants and other activities to do while in Granada.
This walking tour is an amazing way to explore the city, and Mario is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. I would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Granada!

Amazing views well worth the 2-hour walk - Having seen the Alhambra the day before, taking this tour and watching the amazing views from other ends is a whole new experience.
Our guide is Mia who is funny and knowledgeable. The company is not lying about the hidden treasures. The routes she takes us through meandering paths are better explained with a guide.
Went into a cave house at Sacromonte. A glimpse into the Gypsy world for only €1/person.
Highly recommend this tour!
Note that the walk requires some physical fitness. Some incline first part of the tour.
