Truly hidden treasures - Mario did a great job giving us the history of Granada and showing us places that we would not have found without a guide!

Great walking tour! - We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide (Alex) was very knowledgeable. There were many things he showed us that I hadn't read about at all during my research on what to do in Granada. The pace was good, and Alex was great about answering all of our questions. Also recommend stopping by the optional cave house (have 1€ per person cash on hand).

Fabulous tour with Mario. - Mario was an excellent guide. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. He recommended a beautiful restaurant in the Albayzin neighborhood which we would never have found if it wasn't for him. He even made a reservation for us. He was amazing!

Great way to spend our first afternoon in Granada! - Great tour with Javi, we had him all to ourselves which was lovely for us. We found him to be warm, funny, personable and he taught us so much about the neighborhoods (and all of Granada, really). Bring 1 euro (each) so you can enter the cave house example. 10/10 recommend this tour.

Wonderful Tour! - Mario was a wonderful guide, filled with information and history, taking us to wonderful vistas and fascinating places, providing recommendations and thoughtful suggestions. We were a very small group, which was nice, and it was a lovely introduction to Granada and it's history.

Mario gave an amazing walking tour, we really enjoyed it! - Really enjoyed learning about local neighborhoods, we actually enjoyed this tour more than the Alhambra tour (we did both tours in one day, wouldn't recommend, made for a long day) bc it was more modern, local recommendations/secrets unlocked vs a very crowded old historic site. Our tour Mario was very personable, tailored the pace and attractions to our needs, and showed us great places to shop and eat that were not touristy. He also seemed to know all the locals we bumped in to and cared about the city and neighborhoods. I learned so much and felt a true vibe of Granada, the Cave area was so unique and interesting. Lots of little gems to explore, Muchas Gracias Mario!

Nice tour but very hot - We did this on our first day in Granada and it was a great way to get to know the city. We saw the caves in Sacremont and the great lookout point over the city. It was very nice to be on a private tour as we could ask questions and interact with our guide. The only difficult part was that it was extremely hot, especially up by the caves.
