Amazing 2 hours. Wish it was longer. Managed to see places that would have taken hours to reach by foot. But also was able to stay and admire the views at the different viewpoints. The tour guide was knowledgeable and had a genuine love for the place. He was happy to take pictures and take time answering questions.

We had Thomas as our guide. We booked a private tour with him and entire experience was great. We are so happy that we got to see Granada from this different perspective. The next morning Thomas took us on a Segway tour through Albaicin and Sacremonte so we got a amazing tour of Granada. I would highly recommend!
