All about the view
If you want an amazing view if the Alhambra from across the way and are willing to climb uphill on steep steps this is got you. Also interesting to see the village built on a side of the hill. We would have lived to have lunch at one of the restaurants perched on the side of the hill or in one of the charming squares but didnt have the energy to go back upon the conclusion on the tour. It’s all about the views.
Wear good walking shoes and be ready for hills
Good tour, very interesting neighborhood of twisting alleys and unique architecture The meetup was annoying - the office staff didn’t announce anything, the guide came in and spoke with them, then walked outside without a word to the room I had a funny feeling, so I got up from the bench in the waiting area and asked again. Only then did the staff say “the guy in the hat, he’s just outside” There were several other tours gathering in the area, and seemed to be a lot of confusion. The guide didn’t introduce himself, just checked names vs his list, and started walking. Very abrupt start! Over the course of the tour “LT” proved knowledgeable, and shared some good history He’s Argentinian, studied in Granada. He had good information, but it felt somewhat academic - perhaps someone with deeper personal ties to the city may have come been more engaging He had a tendency to put his head down and just walk, not really paying attention to whether the group was keeping up This is a very hilly neighborhood, and parts of the route are somewhat steep - would NOT recommend for anyone with limited mobility Comfortable and sturdy footwear is vital for this tour! Overall I’d rate this good - but not great
Naviator heaven
LT was knowledgeable about history and the region. It was nice to have a private guide to ask our questions
Scenic sites of the Alhambra while walking through Sacromonte
I enjoyed this tour especially for the many stops at viewpoints of the Alhambra along the way! The history was interesting of Sacromonte and seeing where families lived in the white washed houses carved out of the caves was beyond imagination! I also saw a Flamenco show in one of the caves later that night!
Misleading. Wouldn’t recommend.
Such a shame. I’m pretty flexible but we booked an English tour and had one Spanish-speaking guest added on to the tour. The guide had to deliver everything in Spanish, which cut our time in half and slowed everything down. The manager of the company’s response was basically a shrug, offering a refund (why?) or moving the time (which I explained people book at certain times for a reason). I suggested he tell the guide to speak in English as it’s an English tour, and he said no. Would not recommend this company and will be leaving this review elsewhere.
