Wine and tapas in Granada - Katia was an interesting and knowledgeable host. She introduced us to different wines of Spain which we had with food at 3 venues. She also introduced us to different olive oils so the evening was informative but also fun as we got to know the rest of the group.
We had a great evening enjoying the company and expertise of Katia.

Book Now Great Company& wonderful Guides - Book now! We have done many food tours when traveling and these people are extra special. Not only was the owner, Mahsa very accommodating and nice when we missed our connecting flight and missed part of the tour, but She was very sympathetic and made it her business to get us a tour the next day!
But that just had set the tone for the actual tour the next day with Rachel & Simo. They were charming , friendly and very personable. They are very knowledgeable about Granada but were also worldly in discussing other cultures and traditions relative to the area to give a more worldly perspective.
They took us around Granada and showed us many interesting places , and we had scrumptious pasteries while sitting in a locally authentic cafe amidst beautiful view of the Alhambra. This was just one of the few of many great stops we made along the way . Great accommodating company, wonderful charming and helpful ( sent us lots more information on the the topics we discussed after) tour guides, delicious food amongst the beautiful setting of Granada! What more can you ask for?

Tapas... What tapas? - The guide Jose was really knowledgeable.
Was worthy to walk with him around the city, he showed us much more than what we could expect.
Only i can say that was not a tapas tour... we didn't learn or try tapas only chips and cheese. That was sad for us because we were having a big expectation about traditional Spanish tapas.
