This is important:
Our tours go ahead based on a minimum group size of three adults. If the number of booked places desn’t reach the minimum, then unfortunately we will have to cancel the tour. But don’t worry, we’ll always offer you an alternative option.
These free tours of Granada are designed for individual travellers or small groups. If you are 6 or more people, you should book a private tour, so that you will have an exclusive guide. Contact us and we will organise it right away.
We will be walking through the old city streets, full of narrow points and steep slopes, paved centuries ago, so this tour is not recommended for people with reduced mobility or baby prams.
Granada es tierra soñada, as the song says.
And our tours will reveal the most popular and charming corners of a city that has always been privileged by history, both for Moors and for Christians.
In our free tours of Granada, we cannot miss the must-see places in the historic centre, such as the Royal Chapel, which houses the remains of the Catholic Monarchs.
Or the Madraza, the first university in Granada where the Quran was taught.
We will also have time to visit a neighbourhood that has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the Albaicín, which in addition to spectacular views of the Alhambra of Granada /link to the tour of the Alhambra of Granada?/ contains a lot of secrets that have been hidden inside for hundreds of years…
Another symbolic district of the city is Sacromonte.
A place to stroll around among the cármenes and aljibes, with the unparalleled backdrop of Sierra Nevada.
Moreover, this place is known worldwide for being one of the birthplaces of flamenco art, thanks to a gypsy community that has lived here since before the arrival of the Catholic Monarchs.
