Your time is valuable, so we adapt the pace 100% to you. We are tour guides (and members of the European Federation of FEG Guides) We fled the corseted tours to give you a fascinating, not overwhelming story. If you're caught in a detail, go deeper; if you need a break, stop. It's your day in Granada, we know, and it's going to be a very special day.
Important : for your comfort, the tour in the Albaicín is designed in descent. However, being a medieval neighborhood, we will walk on the original historic cobblestone. Very comfortable footwear and standard mobility are recommended to fully enjoy the ride.
Important : To ensure the best experience and adapt to the schedule of the monuments, tomorrow’s tours begin in the Albaicín and descend. Afternoon tours (16:00) make the reverse itinerary: we start at the Chapel Royal and end at the Albaicín viewpoint, the perfect setting to enjoy the sunset over the Alhambra.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I wait for you right in front of the main door of the Royal Chancellery of Granada, in Plaza Nueva.
We finished this tour, having visited Albaicín, Centro and Capilla Real, just outside the Chapel Royal of Granada, in Calle Oficios, in front of the Madrasa and less than a minute from Gran Via de Colón.

1Barrio Del Albaicin
Forget about suffering on the dreaded shores of Granada. Our tour begins in the central Plaza Nueva, where we will take local transport (ticket included) to climb comfortably to the top of the medieval Albaicín district. From there, we will start a relaxed time travel exclusively downhill. We will stroll through the maze of white alleys and cammens, cross the historic wall through the Puerta de las Pesas and stop at the legendary Mirador de San Nicolás. The reward awaits: the most spectacular and sought-after panorama of the Alhambra with Sierra Nevada in the background. We will discover the most interesting aspects of this place as we gently descend towards the center to begin our next chapter.

2Granada
We leave behind the views of the Albaicín to enter the vibrant heart of Granada, right on the stage where the history of Spain (and the world) changed forever. Instead of simply looking at facades, you will learn to "read" the streets to discover how an Islamic medina was transformed into an imperial city. We will enter the alleys of the Alcaiceria, the ancient and exotic silk market, and discover hidden treasures in plain sight such as Corral del Carbón, the only Nasrid meatball from the 14th century that survives intact on the Peninsula. Finally, in front of the Monument to the Capitulations, we will relive the exact moment in which the Catholic Monarchs and Christopher Columbus agreed on the journey that would discover a new continent.

3Royal Chapel of Granada
Visiting the Chapel Royal on your own is simply a beautiful Gothic mausoleum. But to walk through its doors (with the tickets already settled) with an expert is to enter the largest symbol of power in the history of Spain. Here rest the Catholic Kings, promoters of the Modern State. However, this place is much more than a tomb; it is a stone-carved message designed to astonish Europe. During our visit, I will teach you to “read” this immense reliquary and understand how deep Christian devotion is intertwined with political legitimacy. As a grand finale, I will reveal an unexpected gem: Isabel de Castilla’s exquisite private art collection, an intimate treasure trove with masterpieces that rival the world’s great museums.
