Top 10 Walking Tours in Granada, Andalucia
The Alhambra citadel of Granada is one of the most famous buildings in Spain: a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Step backwards in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Granada’s nightlife is vibrant and varied, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.

We took the sunset walking tour with Maria. It was a wonderful walking tour of Albaycin and Sacromonte areas in Granada. Maria was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the City and these unique neighborhoods also quite friendly, courteous and helpful. The tour lasted a little over three hours with a short break for some refreshments. The tour was great and I would highly recommend it. Beautiful views of Granada at night and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Depending on your age and fitness climbing the stairs could be a bit difficult, but the tour was well worth it

We saw the great reviews and decided to give this a go. Granada is an important and historic city and is fantastic to explore. Our experience with Sixthrills was awesome, great people, really friendly. Our guide was Gregor, who was great as an instructor and tour guide, we had a really interesting and fun time on our tour. These guys are really great and really need our support in these strange times where tourism has declined so much. We enjoyed our tour so much we’d do it again in a heart beat. Because of the current situation it was really quiet, a great time to go and really enjoy yourself.
