Great tour covering the history of Spain and then linking it to the sights as we saw them. Our guide had good English and was enthusiastic.

Our host, Virginia provided a thorough and interesting overview of the Albiacin and Sacramonte neighborhoods of Granada. We walked up and down the narrow streets and took in unique buildings, local history, and spectacular views of the Alhambra from the top hills of the neighborhood. Virginia has a unique background for helping us understand the complex religious, ethnic, and economic conflicts that have changed over many years. The gypsy stories of the Sacramonte were fun and different. It was a warm day, and some areas were exposed, but we did stop a few times for refreshment. Overall I highly recommend the tour with Virginia to learn more about Granadas history than just the Alhambra.

We enjoyed our tour with our guide Ruben! The tour gave a good insight into Granadas history and we got to see some of the most important historic buildings and beautiful viewpoints over the Alhambra and the city. And we even got to visit a cave from the inside. I can totally recommend you this tour if you visit Granada.

Had an awesome tour of Albaicín and Sacromonte today! Our guide, a local from Albaicín, Alain, knew all the cool, secret spots away from the crowds. Loved the breathtaking views and the engaging historical insights. Definitely a must-do for a real Granada experience!

Great tour winding up the hill, with frequent stops to take in the views or interesting things. Our guide Marta was wonderful - losts of interesting little pieces and a folder with a map and photos. It was a shame that a few of the people on the walk thought it was OK not to tip her for her time - I did she earned it!

We enjoyed everything about the tour ... our guide, Pedro, was personable and friendly and told us lots of interesting things about Spanish history and economics, as well as the history surrounding us on the tour and in Granada in general. The tour is mainly over hills and steps, make sure your footwear is comfortable. We had thought 2 and a half hours might be too much for us, but tour was so good we wouldn't have missed a moment
