Good guided tour - Jaime was a lively and informative guide. Good interaction between seeing and hearing. We got the story of the Arabic Granada and the two neighborhoods Albaycin and Sacromonte.

Interesting tour but hard walk for seniors - I enjoyed this walking tour of Albayzin, the Moorish quarter, and Sacromonte where Roma gypsies settled. The whole area is hilly, so you’d have to walk up the steep hills and many steps. I’m glad I was able to keep up with other travelers but I have to warn other seniors that it is not an easy walk. I also saw some cave dwellings in Sacromonte and went inside one cave house. But I was bitten by some insect, so I had to get out of the cave house immediately. It was an interesting walking tour and I also enjoyed the view of the Alhambra.

Granada is fascinating. - We carried out the visit on June 14, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. with Sonia, an extraordinary guide, of whom I highlight her knowledge and kindness. It has given us a wonderful experience. Thank you very much again, Sonia! Esther González-Nicolás Criado.

Great guide Ivan - We took the tour of El Albaicin and Sacromonte with the guide Ivan and it was great, he knew how to introduce us to the atmosphere of the neighborhoods by telling us their stories. We loved it.

Albayzin and Sacromonte Caves- Up close and Personal - Our guide, Irene was extraordinary- so friendly, well informed, responsive to the energy of our group (only 6 people!) and she shared several personal experiences. We would ask for her in the future!!! Muchas gracias! We met at P.l Isabel católica- very easy to find! Our guide arrived before the appointment time 5pm and gathered us altogether. The time was perfect as it was not in the heat of the day! The walk is quite strenuous; however, Irene kept checking in with us and give us lots of opportunities to rest. It’s important that you’re comfortable with climbing stairs and walking on cobblestones- Can be tricky. You may be a little sore the next day - but so worth the effort!!

COZY - Nice neighborhoods, cozy little streets with nice facades. Climbing though. Take a taxi or bus and walk down

Interesting walking tour, but...... - The guide was very knowledgeable and made the walk through the two neighborhoods enjoyable. The major drawback was the size of the group. We were too many to hear the guide. If she had used a microphone and we had listening devices, the tour would have been much, much better.
