Amazing experience - Amazing experience- get ready for 3 hrs of hiking. The first 30 minutes is rigorous and then the remaining is easy.

Peaceful, adventure, canyons! - Julio, our hiking guide was lovely. He safely transported us from the meeting point to our destination, through the beautiful Los Cahorros de Monachil and back to Granada. He provided professional photos of the group and my spouse and me during the trip- free of charge. Julio was very knowledgeable about the region but also let us go at our own pace and take in the beautiful scenery. Well done! Would highly recommend!

Great morning in nature. - Julie was a great guide and went at a good pace. Very knowledgeable about the area. Walk was mainly flat so manageable and he was there to assist in more tricky parts. Great communication about meeting point and time estimate was spot on. Was great to get out of the city and spend a few hours in nature. Highly recommended.

Unique Hike - We really enjoyed this hiking experience with our guide Marcello! Our trip through Spain was concentrated in cities, since we weren't comfortable driving, and this was a lovely break to get some time in nature. It's a pretty easy hike, more of a walk at times, but all the bridges and scrambling under the cliff along the river make for a very unique trek. (These aren't scary obstacles either, and Marcello was very good about helping us through them.) And the views are very pretty! Marcello was awesome about taking photos for everyone and sharing them afterwards. And he identified a lot of the plant life we saw along the way so we learned some neat stuff too.

Beautiful and fun hike through the mountains with a wonderful guide - Julio took us on an exciting hike through the mountains that my whole family loved! He was extremely knowledgeable and personable and made us feel very comfortable even when the path was steep or there were narrow passages that looked intimidating. The hike is absolutely gorgeous and being in a small group was extremely pleasant. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Granada and felt this was the best tour guide we had during our stay!

Brilliant experience - The guide Julio was absolutely brilliant and such a nice man. Really helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk. Would recommend booking this as it would be near to impossible to find your own way. Thank you!

Exciting hiking trip in Sierra Nevada without the need to be an experienced climber - This was a tour with a really nice variation in the environment. The landscape is beautiful and shows shows the impressive variations of the Sierra Nevada without having an exhausting trip. It starts with 30 min of slow pace mountain climbing and after that it is only going down hill but still will present you with beatiful panoramic views as well as exciting parts where you are passing the river via wooden bridges or passing narrow parts in your knees or hanging on the rocks supported by metal handles. Trip is easy to do, not needed to be an experienced climber. The two guides are really trying to make this trip a very special trip for you and they definately did do that.
