Description
The best place at the best time. The Albaicín and Sacromonte tour at sunset, you will visit the two most emblematic and famous neighborhoods in the best moment of the city of Granada. A fundamental tour to complete your visit before or after seeing the Alhambra, as well as enjoying the beautiful sunset. We will enter old and multicultural centers such as: - The Albaicín neighborhood, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, also known as the old Muslim quarter, where we will discover the fascinating world of Al-Andalus through its labyrinthine streets and where you can enjoy the most famous Granada landscape from the Mirador de San Nicolás, among others. - And the Sacromonte neighborhood, with its more than 3,000 caves and panoramic views from lesser-known areas, where we will be able to know and understand the life of the gypsies for centuries through their history, legends, anecdotes, curiosities and discovering their most precious legacy: Flamenco.

Our walking tour with Lorena was fantastic! It was the first walking tour I've done and it was 100% worth it! Lorena took us through neighbourhoods I would have never walked through on my own, no less understand any historical significance. I really enjoyed it and it made the trip to Granada much more valuable. Would recommend to anyone visiting!
We had the guide Paula. Very knowledgeable, with a degree in art history. She knew everything about Granada The visit was very pleasant and she answered all the questions we asked, even if they weren't strictly related to the visit. She showed us the best spots to take photos and see the sunset
We had Laura on our tour. She is very knowledgeable and gave us some very interesting overview of Granada; from the Alhambra to the Carmens in Albaicín to the caves and Lorca in Sacramonte. Laura was also very considerate, spacing out her talks strategically so that we were able to take small breaks as we walked up the Albaicin. The views at sunset were incredible. Great time to see Granada!
Very nice walking tour , we explored the old city with small group and it was just fun! Alex the guide was very nice
Our guide Alexandra was both knowledgeable and fun in her stories about Granada and the area. She engaged us by asking questions about what she told us. Hyn also did not talk too long at a time, which made it possible to follow. A beautiful and fun trip with a small group that made it more personal.
Excellent thing to do first night in Granada. Super overview of the history and chance to see key sites and orient yourself in the Alabaicin.
We really enjoyed this walking tour. Our guide Paloma was exceptional. It was very informative and gave us a great overview of the history of the area. The views were amazing and the sunset timing was perfect for great pictures.
The Sunset Walking tour was great. Paloma was knowledgeable and provided information about the neighborhoods. We walked through parts of Albaicín that we would have never explored independently. Highly recommend it! Warning though… it involves lots of uphill walking and can be strenuous.
Where should I begin? Our guide Lorena was incredibly knowledgeable and an amazing story teller. She walked us through the tiny roads of Albaicín & Sacromonte with so much grace, charm, and sense of humor. We had teenagers in our group and the experience was one of the most memorable we’ve had in our world travels. The views, the streets charm, the golden hour, it was all so soulful. I highly recommend.
Very informative and interesting. Our guide Antonio was passionate about Granada and its history, and explained it well. Sometimes We were a bit slow up and down some of the steps but both Antonio and the rest of the party were very understanding. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
