What does a free tour consist of?

An expert guide will be located in one of the main spots of the city, depending on the tour you’ve chosen. They will be holding a red umbrella, the symbol of our company. Together with the tour guide and the other tourists who form your group, you’ll enjoy a visit by foot to the neighborhood’s most outstanding places.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR FREE TOURS

A great walking tour. Very informative and entertaining. A strenuous walk but well paced with consideration of all involved and individual abilities. Helped us at the end as we were adding the Flamingo Show following (also booked with same company) which turned out to be a great combination. The show in the cave was excellent, authentic and very much enjoyed.

We took two free walking tours while in Granda – a city tour and the Sacromonte tour. We had the same tour guide both times – for the life of me I can’t remember her name – but she was an incredible English speaking guide with a deep knowledge of Granada history.

It was our first free walking tour in Granada and we can highly recomended it. The local guide Matias was a very friendly and open person who answered every question we had. Thanks to him we learned a lots of interesting facts about the history of Granada. You should book the tour, if you’re interesed in local places too. Give it a try!
