We highly recommend Alicia for your introductory exploration of Grenada. She was enthusiastic and engaging throughout. She chose a meeting place very close to our hotel and we enjoyed two fun hours exploring the cobbled streets and hidden courtyards of the city, learning about the history and symbolism as we went. She gave us recommendations on places to visit after our tour ended and also places to eat. We totally enjoyed it! Discover the hidden gems of Grenada

We had a great walk around Granada with Carolina. She is very friendly, animated, fun and knowledgeable. The highlights were being brought to the local market for the best local food, the secret viewing area of the Alhambra, the history of the Christian’s, Moors etc. Next time, she is bringing us skiing! Thank you Carolina. Ian & RiaA wonderful afternoon with Carolina!

Carolina is very welcoming and has deep knowledge of Granada. She is very energetic, and we felt connected instantly. The places and information she shared with us are not something we could get from any tourist guide or books. Next time when we are back in Granada, we for sure want to ask Carolina as our guide again. Thank you!Great way to see the city and hidden gems

We were lucky enough to be Alicia’s first clients and she nailed it. I booked the trip very last minute and she quickly accommodated our request and mapped out a plan due to the time constraints. As a professional Spanish teacher she helped my flawed speech and encouraged me to keep at it! We enjoyed our experience immensely. She is a pure delight, passionate and knowledgeable.

It was perfect. Carolina knows everything you need to know about the sights in Granada and has an extremely friendly way in explaining everything. Besides that she is funny, make a lot of jokes and has a perfect sense of humor. We had a great time and can recommend her as your guide when visiting this beautiful town of Granada. The tapas and the drinks at the end of our tour were well selected and very tasty. We wish Carolina a lot of success in her job and maybe she will visit us once in Vienna. We had a great day thaks to Carolina

Our first day in Granada and we had the most wonderful, interesting, enjoyable and DELICIOUS food tour with Javier! Javier is fun, well-informed, and organized. He took us to a variety of great places where we enjoyed wonderful samplings of typical local fare, and he also shared history and interesting facts about Grenada as we walked around. We loved the places he took us too and the fabulous dishes they offered. Super fun afternoon and we recommend Javier highly…he brought it all to life for us. Thank you Javier :)Fantastic…better than we ever expected!

We had a great afternoon with Javier tasting food (and drinks) in bars, restaurants and shops we would never have found on our own. We also learned a lot of interesting stories and tidbits about Spanish history that we had not heard on previous tours. Javier’s relaxed manner and sense of humor made him a great host. We would take the tour again in a heartbeat!Super Fun Food Tour With Javier

We wanted a different view of Granada - we had seen the Alhambra and other main sights - Alicia tailored a tour for us which was perfect and which she hosted with charm and warmth, viewing some of the less well known sights and pointing out the small details which really help bring history to life. She was knowledgeable and ready with informative answers to any and all questions and did not shy away from controversial topics. A wonderful guide who we cannot thank enoughHighly recommended and charming guide

Recorrer Granada con Javier fue un placerazo!! Nos guio por recorridos no turísticos y nos mostró rincones que jamás hubiéramos llegado solos. Javier es profesional, conocedor apasionado, súper cálido, alegre, fue un placer!!! Ir recorriendo las callecitas de Albaicin mientras escuchábamos la perspectiva de Javier fue un diferencial en nuestra visita a la ciudad que agregó muchísimo a nuestro encantamiento. Un placer!!!

We really enjoyed our tour with Javier. He is clearly passionate about Granada and it was fun to walk around with him. Unfortunately, some of us were not feeling great, which made the "food" part a little less fun - but that was not Javiers fault. Highly recommend.Good fun!

Carolina was a wonderful guide, enthusiastic, passionate, friendly and generous. In our 3 hours together, she shared with us many details and histories of the Alhambra and Granada city that enriched our experience of the Nasrid Palaces and Generalife Gardens. I'm grateful for her inclusivity towards our two kids (8 & 10 years old) and willingness to take breaks when we needed them. She offered to take photos of us as a family in various key locations and happily gave us recommendations for places to eat for the remainder of our stay. Visiting the Alhambra was a bucket list item for me personally and Carolina made the experience as good as it could possibly be!The best guide we've had in Spain!

The BEST!! Alicia restricts her tours to solo (like mine) or small group … and it makes all the difference! If you’re looking for personalized, customized, flexible, focused tours, Alicia is your guide. To make your tour outstanding, she is willing to communicate and answer detailed questions from months in advance all the way throughout the tour. In addition to being a consummate guide, within first few minutes of meeting, she is your friend! Bottom line: if you want a professional, customized, flexible, friendly tour – Alicia is your pick! The Best !

ABSOLUTE BEST !!! Alicia is not only an outstanding guide, but also has that rare personalty and demeanor that immediately makes you friends. Before the end of the tour, it felt as if we had known each other for years. Her insight and passion for Granada, it’s history, culture and people draws you into the narrative of the region. Bottom line: BEST guide (and now friend) I’ve had the pleasure to know !Would rate 100 if scale went that high !!

We booked Carolina to take us around the Alhambra, and thanks to her vast knowledge, vibrant personality, and work ethic, we felt like we had traveled through time back to the moments that she was describing. She is simply amazing! We were lucky to have booked her, without knowing how great she was, for a second tour which we also loved!!! If you have the opportunity to be part of one of her tours, you will understand why we felt so lucky to be shown Granada by someone as great as Carolina. We will look for her if we ever comeback.An unforgettable experience!

My tour of Granada with Alicia was truly one to be remembered. Despite being a last-minute booking, Alicia accommodated me without any issues, which immediately set a positive tone for the day. From the moment we met, it was clear that this would be no ordinary tour. Alicia's passion for Granada shone through as she led me to the city's hidden secrets, steering clear of the touristy spots while still allowing me to soak in the beauty of the surroundings. It felt like I was exploring Granada with a knowledgeable friend rather than following a rigid and boring itinerary. Alicia's insider knowledge and willingness to share her favorite local haunts made the experience all the more special. What truly made this tour unforgettable was the rapport we developed along the way. We bonded over shared experiences, exchanging stories about our respective cultures and traditions. Alicia's insights into Spanish culture enriched my understanding of the city and its people, adding depth and meaning to the experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Granada in an authentic and immersive way. Alicia's warmth, expertise, and genuine passion for her city make her the perfect guide for an unforgettable adventure. Don't hesitate to book a tour with Alicia – you won't regret it!My unforgettable Granada experience

My husband and I spent the weekend in Granada. We had the pleasure of having Alicia show us around this beautiful city. She was very accommodating on meeting at our preferred time and showed us things we definitely would not have seen or known about on our own. We had the extra bonus of her teaching me a little Spanish. The 3 hrs with her flew by. Alicia was extremely friendly and passionate on what she does. We felt like we were walking around the city with a friend we have known for years. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone interested in having a tour!!! Tour of Granada with Alicia
