“Very worthwhile experience - usually just see the thing and don't fully appreciate the nuance and historical context so this was a first for me to participate in a guided tour with a local expert. A little long in parts, perhaps could have been reduced by 30 minutes for my taste, but glad to have done it.”
Meet your English or Spanish-speaking guide under the orange umbrella at Plaza Bib Rambla, then tour Granada Cathedral for 1.5 hours.

You’ll spend about three hours with a private English-speaking guide, starting near central Granada at 4:30 pm. The route covers the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, La Cartuja, Albaicín, San Nicolás, and Sacromonte. Cathedral and Royal Chapel admission is included, but the tour ends in Albaicín and requires moderate walking.
“The tour company did not have our reservation. We called to confirm the day before, and after we finally convinced them we'd prepaid for a tour, they had to scramble to find us a guide. They also did not provide us with an air-conditioned van as promised because they had booked so many tours- and this created extra walking for an 80 year old in our group. I still give it 4 stars because the actual tour guide was fantastic!”
This two-day Granada experience pairs self-guided entry to the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Cathedral, and Royal Chapel with an official guided walk through Albaicín and Sacromonte. Guides have included Alessia and Alexandra. Bring your original passport and expect plenty of walking.
“Alessia as guide is gentle, patient and knowledgeble. A perfect day spent with me n 3 friends.”
