nice - this is the place that history meet the actual time ;
walking throw the narrow streets in this neighborhood ; the street floors are paved with old stones in the ancient style. don't miss the oldest houses while walking ;
after nice walking you'll get to the best alhambra view (as president clinton say - the best view ever).
on the left hand the famous mosque that build by qatar government ;

Unmissable walking tour - Without a doubt, walking through these neighborhoods is one of the most beautiful things to do in Granada. A city where many cultures converge and each one contributes its imprint. These are the oldest and most typical neighborhoods of the city where one is surprised at every step, always having beautiful views of the Alhambra! If you do it on a walking tour you will get much more out of it!

Must do tour in Granada - We got late to join the tour due to a situation with kids and couldn’t join the tour. They were nice to offer the same tour slot the next day with no extra charge.
Maria was our English tour guide. She was very thorough with lots of historical details, open to any additional questions and very thoughtful of keeping the group together. Many times she would stop to regroup without rushing. We thought the historical facts shared were something that one would have to read several books to collect them.
Fully recommend for families visiting Granada to take the tour. Our 10 year old loved the tour and stayed close to the guide throughout the tour to not miss anything.

An excellent twilight trip and guide - Was a great tour and an excellent tour guide - thank you Chema ( not sure if that’s the correct spelling ). We were just two people on the English speaking trip which we were so pleased went ahead (after disappointing experiences with other companies) and our guide gave us so much information and historical detail and was great showing us great viewpoints for sunset photos and providing us all the time we needed to get some excellent shots. He told us about places we could visit at a later date and on the tour showed us places we never would have found on our own - thank you Chema!

Marta’s love and vast knowledge of Grenada makes this tour special! - Marta was an excellent guide!! Her love and vast knowledge of Grenada and its unique culture made this a very important tour- do not miss the opportunity to see the real Grenada, its roots, traditions and history. A perfect compliment to Alhambra tours. Lots of walking and uphill so wear tennis shoes for sure!

Guide was a little too soft spoken but enjoyable - Views from several spots were good and guide was knowledgeable. Was a little hard to hear in crowded areas.

Don’t book with them. Faulty instructions for meeting. Never replied to my email. - They post a location for meeting that is CLOSED. Ask you to download and install an app, for a simple tour. I PAID and showed up where instructed, 15 minutes prior to where tour starts. Only to find out that they called me 10 minutes before the time I was supposed to show up at the CLOSED location. I don’t have an international calling plan, was in transit to follow their instructions, so did not receive the message until much later when WiFi available. Why not notify 24 hours in advance? I prepaid this tour, and never received it due to their chaos. Emailed them with NO REPLY.
