Great walk. I loved watching the sunset of Sierra Nevada. I highly recommend.
We had a great time. The 4x4 van was comfortable. Our guide was very friendly and informative. We saw some ibex and enjoyed the scenic viewpoints we stopped at, as well as the food from the restaurant at the end of the trip.
Easy to book. James was a great and pleasant guide.
What a brilliant day. Scenery was absolutely amazing and our guide so helpful and informative. A ‘must do’ trip for anyone coming to Granada.
What an amazing experience! Our guide ,Jaimie, was so knowledgeable and great fun to be with. The views from the Sierra Nevada were spectacular and the sunsets unreal. I would recommended this trip to everyone.
This was a really fun and educational tour! We got some gorgeous pictures as we explored Granada's landscape. Our guide, Buitre, was fantastic! He explained the history of Granada and was so much fun to spend time with.
This was a lovely day. Our guide Jamie with an h was very helpful, enthusiastic,knowledgeable and entertaining. With just 6 other people on our comfortable 4WD we enjoyed a real off road experience through steep canyons and winding tracks up to the beautiful snowfields. We went for walks to great scenic spots and took stunning photos. Our guide was able to inform us of the history, geology, and biodiversity of the area and was conscious of the threats presented by climate change. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and it was especially fun to chat with our fellow travellers. The tour was not strenuous but very relaxing

We had a wonderful experience on the Sierra Nevada mountain tour in Granada with Biutre as our guide! It was such a great way to spend the day and see the beautiful mountains and scenery outside the city. Biutre was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. He also took great care of us while navigating the narrow mountain roads, which made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Granada and wanting to experience the Sierra Nevada!
Everything went well and it was a nice walk. There was a problem with overbooking but it was resolved quickly. The guide was friendly and attentive. Some beautiful scenes and landscapes, but nothing exceptional. The "cabin" where we stopped for a drink, offered by the CIA, was not a cabin in fact, but they wanted to make it seem. The result was neither cosy nor beautiful. Instead of rustic was poorly cared for, no chairs to sit. We stood up for an hour, talking between the people in the group, with no attraction other than the people themselves.
