This was an amazing experience from start to finish, Carlos our guide was great and so knowledgeable about the area. The views going up and at the top of the mountains were breathtaking. This trip is a must when visiting Granada.

I had a really great time...
Gwen_C, October 2026
I had a really great time on this tour. I joined solo and the guide, Jayme, made sure everyone was part of the group. Jayme, our driver and guide, has a lot of knowledge explaining all the flora we see, tasting them, smelling, all senses were used. He knows about the topography, history, just everything and he explains it in a fun way that makes you want to listen. He is also a great photographer. Last part of the tour was in this resto and the food was good and affordable! I had a great experience and one of my highlights for my Granada vacation.
Response from the operator · Annelotte W Thank you so much for your nice review! We are so glad to know that you had a nice time in the tour and that our guide made sure the journey was comfortable and enjoyable! Cheers!

We had an amazing day touring the Sierra Nevada mountains with Jaime. He's very knowledgeable on the local history, flora, fauna and geological aspects of the area. His driving is also top notch. He also helped us pick out the best things on the restaurant menu at 2500m altitude. If you're not up for hours of hiking but still want to see this beautiful area, this tour is the way to go.
Response from the operator · Annelotte W Thank you so much for your nice words and your tips! We are very happy to know you had a great time with us and enjoyed the tour!

Elizabeth_C, September 2026
guide was very friendly and outgoing. my husband, who has extensive knowledge of geology noted he made some errors in his statements, but it wasn't anything major.
