5.00This was a really fun and educational tour! We got some gorgeous pictures as we explored Granada's landscape. Our guide, Buitre, was fantastic! He explained the history of Granada and was so much fun to spend time with.

5.00This was a lovely day. Our guide Jamie with an h was very helpful, enthusiastic,knowledgeable and entertaining. With just 6 other people on our comfortable 4WD we enjoyed a real off road experience through steep canyons and winding tracks up to the beautiful snowfields. We went for walks to great scenic spots and took stunning photos. Our guide was able to inform us of the history, geology, and biodiversity of the area and was conscious of the threats presented by climate change. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and it was especially fun to chat with our fellow travellers. The tour was not strenuous but very relaxing

A Wonderful Day Exploring the Sierra Nevada Mountains

5.00We had a wonderful experience on the Sierra Nevada mountain tour in Granada with Biutre as our guide! It was such a great way to spend the day and see the beautiful mountains and scenery outside the city. Biutre was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. He also took great care of us while navigating the narrow mountain roads, which made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Granada and wanting to experience the Sierra Nevada!
It's not a "must to do."

4.00Everything went well and it was a nice walk. There was a problem with overbooking but it was resolved quickly. The guide was friendly and attentive. Some beautiful scenes and landscapes, but nothing exceptional. The "cabin" where we stopped for a drink, offered by the CIA, was not a cabin in fact, but they wanted to make it seem. The result was neither cosy nor beautiful. Instead of rustic was poorly cared for, no chairs to sit. We stood up for an hour, talking between the people in the group, with no attraction other than the people themselves.
One of a kind. Never cliche. The snow capped mountains may be gone soon

5.00Nature and outdoors. The tour showcases not only its rich and vast valleys. Up and down winding narrow dirtroads, there are flora that thrive in the wild - rosemary, chammomile, margaritas and thyme. As an Asian,it was my first time to see how an almond tree with its fruits looked like. In the valley, there are aqueducts built by the French. Science and physics were applied then - I figired out how water can travel from one source to another. The alps are just as majestic. Though thinned because of global warming, the snow capped mountains, up close bear a light hie of red - dust blown away from the Sahara Desert. The sunset is so beautiful. Our tour guide Jaime, was really good.
Incredible experience in nature!

5.00We had a truly memorable experience throughout this evening with our incredible tour guide Carlos. We were pleasantly surprised to have Carlos share with us so many physical elements of the region - plants, rocks, animals, and even farmhouse ruins - which truly made the local life and history of the region come alive for us. We loved his enthusiasm and passion for teaching us all of these fascinating details. And he was an incredibly safe driver, which was very appreciated since the roads were windy and at times remote. We highly recommend this tour (and Carlos!) if you want to spend enjoyable time exploring the nature and terrain of the Sierra Nevadas. Thank you again Carlos for a truly unique evening! - Katie and Camye

5.00I did this tour solo, Carlos was the best tour guide!!! He was a very safe driver and we did quite a bit of off roading (and experienced the area like a local) we saw goats, horses, cows, abandoned farms++. Carlos was very knowledgeable about trees/plants/rocks it was very cool history!
