Hi there! My name is Juan Antonio and I'm an official tour guide in Andalucía. I am really passionate about my region, its cuisine, culture, and history, so when I had the chance of becoming a guide 10 years ago I had no doubt and went for it. In Granada, I will show you not only what you can read in books, but the details and tell you the anecdotes that are not that easy to find. That is the main reason why I love living in the old town, so I will tell you the stories as a local and someone who lives day-to-day in the city. As I am specialized in doing private tours, I am completely flexible and open-minded, as well as respectful. The tours that I offer are completely customized for each one, so each you have specially interested in something, it wil be more than welcome. If you are looking for a close, personal and enjoyable tour without losing any detail, taking a tour with me will be the best decision. - Degree of Tourism (UCA) - Master of Innovation of Tourism (ESCO) - Official Tour Guide in Andalusia (Gobierno de Andalucía) - Languages Credentials in English and Portuguese (Cambridge and CAPLE) - 10 years guiding experience None.

Overview of your Granada tour

If you could only visit a single place in Spain, this would be the one. In this tour we will visit the highlight of Spain and its history, the amazing Alhambra that from the Nasrid Palaces to the Generalife gardens has always something new to tell and I am ready to share it with you. We will discover the different inhabitants it had throughout the centuries and the modifications it has suffered. Do you want to know the history of this magic place? Do not worry, I will tell you not only the history of the Alhambra, but also curiosities, anecdotes, nature and art. The whole monument is included in this indispensable tour. The tour is completely personal and you are the one who sets the pace.

We were a group of 5 and had a great time with Nono. He was really helpful even before the trip when I asked for a recommendation for a place for breakfast before our tour. The tour itself was excellent. He took us different ways to make sure we had plenty of space to enjoy the Alhambra which obviously can get very busy. It made it a much more relaxing experience not being surrounded by people all the time. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our (many) questions and pointed out things I would never have even noticed. Thoroughly recommend.

Juan Antonio, "Nono" was wonderful. We are a family of 4, 12-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter. Nono was kind, knowledgeable, and patient with all of my 8-year-olds questions, and she had many. I cannot imagine navigating the Alhambra without his guidance. After the tour he gave us an amazing lunch recommendation that was off the beaten path of tourists, and it was incredible! I would highly recommend Nono for your Granada tours.

Juan Antonio “Nono”, was the perfect tour guide for our private tour of the Alhambra. He has a wealth of information about the history, the many buildings and plants and that adds much color to the tour. He also knows when to be quiet and let you absorb the beauty of what you are seeing. It is a lot to take in. He purchased our tickets in advance and that was very convenient. He whisked us through all the checkpoints expertly. With 8,000 visitors a day, he knows how to make the experience feel as isolated as possible, so you don’t feel crushed by the crowds. Nono communicated with us before the tour, so that we felt very comfortable that he would show up and we knew how to get in touch with him. We highly recommend Nono if you need a tour guide while in or around Granada.

Juan Antonio is a fantastic guide - we recommend him without reservation. We had visited the Alhambra years ago and enjoyed it, but that visit was nothing like our tour today. Juan Antonio has a remarkable breadth and depth of knowledge, not only of the history of Spain and the Alhambra, but even the horticultural and common names of the plants in the Generalife gardens! Juan Antonio really brought the Alhambra and its history to life. On top of all that, he’s a lot of fun to spend a few hours with. If you can find an opening on Juan Antonio’s schedule for a tour, I would jump on it. You’ll be very glad you did.

We have just completed a tour of the Alhambra with Juan this morning and it was fabulous! He brought the Alhambra and it’s very complicated history to life. His depth of knowledge not only of the Alhambra itself but also of Grenada was phenomenal. We could not recommend Juan highly enough. We had a private tour for 6 people and everyone loved it. In fact we have already recommended him to several of our friends who will be visiting soon.

Your Granada tour itinerary

The best option would be meeting by the "Alhambra mural map", by the ticket office, from 2 h- 0, 5 h before your schedule to the Nasrid Palaces. That way we could take the tickets directly in case you booked them with some kind of discount. Once we are ready to start and depending on the time of your tickets for the palaces, we will visit the whole monument, that includes: - Nasrid Palaces - Alcazaba fortress - Generalife gardens - Charles V Palace At the end of our tour I can take you back to the meeting point. *It is essential bringing personal documents (photo of the passport works) of each visitor with them. Please let me know in advance if I need to pick you up from your hotel.
