An adventure not to be missed! - What a fantastic day out. Away from the hustle and bustle with stunning scenery. Small group tours are always more pleasant as it provides an opportunity for the Guide to make the day more personable. Highly recommend this day out.
Daud our Guide was a character and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their day..inch at the top overlooking the snow capped mountains was delicious.. Would do it all again

Daud 'Rocks' the tour - Our guide/ driver, Daud, was just brilliant!!! His knowledge of the geology, history and plants in the mountains made for a very interesting and educational excursion. But it was his sense of humor that really made the 7 hour trip fly by. He took us to some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! Plus the lunch stop the mountains was incredible. I highly recommend

An Experience I Will Never Forget - Absolutely INCREDIBLE experience. I was traveling solo and our tour ended up being another solo traveler, a young family with a 7 and 4 year old, and another couple. We had a very diverse group of people. It made for the most amazing day exploring the National Park, the mountains, lunch near the peak, SNOW, the local flora and fauna. An experience I will never forget.

Awesome mountain trip - Daud was an awesome guide. Great sense of humour, very knowledgeable about the area. I felt very safe with him driving! We saw parts of the mountains we would never see by ourselves. It was a perfect day, because the clouds lifted just as we finished our lunch in the restaurant at the top, which gave us great views of the smow-capped peaks. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

See Spain from the top - Wonderful tour! Our guide, Daud, was very laid back, chatty and knowledgeable. The views were breathtaking, and we got to explore parts of the mountain known only to locals. My 14 year old loved it and we count this tour as a highlight of our stay in Granada. Highly recommended!

Very uncomfortable experience - Very disappointing and amateurish service. Totally inappropriate vehicle for the very rough roads in the National Park. Should have been a safari type vehicle with hard suspension NOT a 10 seater bus. We were not advised that some rough walking would be involved. They took us to a very scruffy restaurant for dinner. Avoid this tour.

Don’t do it! - I do not recommend this experience. The “4x4” was actually a giant van with several rows of stained seats, and dirty, slimy, tinted windows that didn’t open. It also smelled terrible and the guide was rude. We got out before the trip started and they wouldn’t refund the money.
