Great experience - My husband and I had a great time on this tour. Our guide Theresa, was very informative, and had real inside information on the places to go and what to eat. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than a guide. The food was delicious too.

Great time in Spain - I had previously used Not Just a Tourist services in Seville and for our second trip in Spain we decided to use their services again. We had a very useful orientation talk with Mahsa and agreed on the activities that we would like to do and those sites there were important to us. On this occasion we spent 8 days in Spain and took 10 different tours. The market tour was a great start to our stay in Granada as you do the most typical thing that a local person would do- grocery shopping. We had a nice walk in the old town which served as an orientation walk and then head to a market. The market is nothing fancy but a great place for a first hand idea of Granada. We stopped at 4 stalls and places and tried a big variety fo local products with a lot of historic explanations. That was not only yummy but simply amazing to learn so much through food. The market gets busier around noon but we enjoyed having the attention of the stall owners all for ourselves.

Awesome local tour! - We wanted to have something easy to start our visit of Granada and the market tour seemed like a fun and useful tour to do. We have been to Spain before but this tour was really useful to get a deep insight into the Spanish food and understand the basics as well as the most popular ingredients. We were introduced to local "jamón" from the region which was delicious, a local sweet from the Arab heritage, amazing cheese, typical bread from Andalusia, many varieties of olives, an all timer called Churros and a nice glass of chilled sherry which was way better than we had thought. We did after this tour a tapas tour too and the richness of Spanish food is simply mind-blowing. Out of 10 different things we tried on both tours none were repeated.

Feel the vibe of Granada - I couldn't believe I would be ever able to feel the spirit of a town just by taking an online tour, but exactly this happen when attend this online tour. It was so catchy and interesting that at the end I've imagined myself living there and start asking for the property prices in Granada! :)

Best tour of Granada and Alhambra - Great tour of Granda with my amigo Pedro! I have lived and worked in Spain for some time. However, I decided to take this online tour of Granada to refresh my memories and do something fun together with friends. Pedro is very knowledgeable and kind and was able to bring 1000 years of history into life in only one hour. It was as if we were for real in Granada. I really enjoyed it.

A Must do Experience - This is the best way to spend time during this Lockdown as you can feel as if you have already visited Spain and gather interesting information, facts and curiosities of Granada without moving from your sofa. The material used to do the virtual tour was great, the visit was very well organized and the guide was lively and nice. This was a wonderful experience that I would like to repeat.
