Perfect walking tour!

We had an amazing time with Mario. He was patient and kind, and very knowledgeable. He took his time explaining things to us, and clearly had a very deep understanding of Granada’s history and the local cultures which is exactly what we wanted. Because of his connections, we spoke with locals and he pointed out small businesses and family homes along the way too. Not only did we have a fantastic tour guide, we made a friend! Thank you Mario!

LT was wonderful! He was able to easily explain lots of history in Granada. We felt like locals walking with him, would highly recommend this 2 hour tour. There are lots of stair but the guides provided time to rest and admire the views.
