Our e-bike tour was the absolute best way to see the Albaicin and Sacromonte! The electric bikes made riding up the steep, winding hills totally effortless. Our guide Carmen made sure we felt safe on our bikes before we started the tour. She shared amazing history and took us to amazing viewpoints of the Alhambra. Carmen is so knowledgeable - we learned so much about the gypsy culture in Sacromonte and the Moorish history of the Albaicin. This tour is highly recommended!
A great way to experience these mountainside communities in Granada. Rather than hiking up we peddled with power. In a short time, we were in the perimeters of these districts. We even got to visit an authentic cave house in Sacromonte.

Wow, with our amazing guide Fares we did this tour. He knew a lot to tell and speaks very good English. We got lots of tips about the area and he cycled with us to the highest peak with breathtaking views!
Hey Fares you are an excellent guide. Very calm, friendly, and you always made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable. You gave clear instructions on when to change gears and how to handle the steeper climbs, which made the tour enjoyable for me. You also adapted well to the group and shared interesting stories along the way. I Highly Recommend You As a Guide. Thank you and Ruth. She was an amazing assistance in our group. 😀👍 I will come back very 🔜

A recommendable experience and the guide Borja is a very nice guy.
We had a great tour with Fares! He showed us all of the city and even some extras, because we got ahead of schedule. The e-bikes make the tour very doable, since it is a lot of going up and down.
This was an amazing experience. This ended up being a private tour essentially! We did this tour at the start of our visit to Granada and I am so glad we did. It helped us contextualize the entire place throughout our trip. We would have struggled on these hills had we not explored them by electric bike. Our tour guide truly taught us so much and made the experience even better. Thank you to Fanette for hosting us on this tour. It was a highlight of our trip!
We loved the bike outing, even if it is hot in July, on a bike you get a bit of air, we took breaks in the shade, so it is doable! The explanations were very interesting and essential in my opinion to understand the history of these 2 neighborhoods. Our guide Fanette was top-notch: efficient and captivating, everyone left delighted, even those who were less enthusiastic at the start! Thanks to her!
