4.00Interesting tour with a very personal touch courtesy of our guide on the day (Mario). Well worth doing at the start of your stay in Granada to get an 'early' insight into the city.

5.00We really enjoyed this walking tour. The Albaicin and Sacromonte neighborhoods are full of history and beautiful overlooks of Granada. You also get great views of the entire Alhambra complex while you are walking through these areas. Being able to see inside an actual cave house was so interesting. Our guide Mario was very nice and he shared a lot of information about the history of Granada. A lot of uphill steps but if you enjoy walking it’s very moderate.We definitely recommend this tour!
Affordable, well-timed tour!

5.00This was a great, affordable walking tour of the Albayzin and Sacromonte neighborhoods. Our tour guide, Mario, was friendly and knowledgable - he shared a good mix of historical highlights and current affairs. We also appreciated that he guided us to spots that were both popular and off the beaten path. One of our favorite parts of our trip was returning to a spot Mario recommended after the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour and Mario as a tour guide!
Interesting..Mario took good care of us. Stopped and told me about different parts. We also got 10 min photo break at the church and w

4.00A very enjoyable walk through Sacramonte with Mario. He has information on any topic you can think of. Even though the climb is a potential barrier, he paces it well, making sure everyone has sufficient breath to listen, ask, and learn. We were especially grateful for his recommendation of the Riviera tapas bar.
