- Barrio Del Albaicin - The Albaicin is considered one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Spain. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its narrow streets, white houses and spectacular views will make you want to live here forever. We will walk through its streets unhurriedly, enjoying its viewpoints and magical corners.
- Sacromonte - Sacromonte, the sacred mountain, the gypsy quarter of Granada and one of the birthplaces of flamenco. You cannot leave Granada without visiting one of the lesser known but interesting neighborhoods of the city. The buildings are the famous caves, where many people still maintain a traditional lifestyle, and on this tour, we will enter one of these caves to learn about its architecture and how, with little money, one of the most artistic and folkloric communities in Andalucia was created on this hill.

Begin Your Trip Here - Do this your first full day in town. Knowing the ins and outs of the city helped us navigate ourselves for the rest of the trip. Well worth the money.

Going back in time in the best possible way!! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Jennifer. She is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and brought the experience of Albaicin to life for us, with her explanations. We went to the viewpoint of San Nicolas where we were able to see the Alhambra in all its glory! We walked by the river, saw the lovely street Paseo de los Tristes, and many, many other significant sites. The climb up the hill is quite a slog but is well worth the effort. We took a much easier route back down and Jennifer gave us her insider's knowledge of a great place for lunch!!! A fabulous tour in every way.

The cultural evolution of Granada - This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the cultural evolution of Granada from centuries BC to the current times. Our tour guide, Rut, exceeded our expectations with her knowledge of Granada’s and her charm. We have taken many tours and this one is up there as one of the beast to date.

Wonderful afternoon! - We really enjoyed our private tour with JJ! He is from Granada and passionate about his city and seemed to really enjoy sharing it with us. We didn’t go inside any attractions, but we walked around many neighborhoods in the city, saw beautiful vistas, and were able to ask him questions about history and city life today. We saw where he went to primary school as well as some quieter streets and off-the-beaten path areas that we were very grateful to visit. Definitely a great way to be introduced to the city and highly recommended!

Amazing Tour Guide - Ruth is an amazing tour guide. When she realized that we had some overlap from a previous tour she improvised a special tour for us that explored the multiple cultures in Granada in more detail. She is very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful, informative tour.

Great intro to Granada and view of Alhambra! - Jenni provided context and good humor in her tour up the steep but worth it! Of the Mirador and Albequin neighborhood. Really set us up well for the excellent and engaging tour of the Alhambra by Eduardo the next day. We were a group of four who used the tour to figure out where (the amazing Cathedal) to return the next day.- Susan and Stow Walker, Boston area

Excellent tour - We loved Gabriela! She was easy to understand and had great knowledge of Alhambra. Alhambra is not to be missed! It was so great having this private tour so we really got a good understanding about the details and we were able to ask many questions along the way, which Gabriela was able to answer. Yannat is a quality tour company and was great at reaching out to confirm details and ask for feedback. We used them for other tours since we were so happy with their organization.
