Welcome to Granada, everyone! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Nacho, and I'm not just your average tour guide - I'm a Granada native with a deep love for this city and its rich history. As an Official Tourist Guide of Granada, I've had the privilege of studying the intricate tapestry of Andalusian art history, focusing on the architectural marvels that spanned from the 7th to the 15th century. Granada, as the last Arabic capital of this period, holds a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to share its wonders with you. But it's not just history that I'm passionate about - I'm also fluent in Spanish, Chinese, English, Italian, and French. So, feel free to converse with me in any of these languages! As Nelson Mandela once said, 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. ' Beyond languages and history, I'm an energetic person who loves staying active through sports like cycling, taekwondo, skiing, running, and calisthenics. Being a tour guide isn't just about sharing facts - it's about being physically and mentally prepared to handle any situation while ensuring everyone has a fantastic time. Granada isn't just a city to me; it's my home, and I'm honored to share its charm with you. As Antonio Machado beautifully put it, 'Every city has a special charm, Granada has its own and all the other cities' charm. ' So, let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable memories in this enchanting city. Thank you for choosing Granada, and let's make the most of our time here! --> More than 5 years of experience in the hospitality business. --> Official Tour Guide in Granada. --> +700 reviews with 5 stars in three years. For my tour I have no restrictions.

We were so disappointed that we missed getting tickets to the Alhambra but we had a wonderful day in Granada touring with Nacho. He kept us laughing with fun storytelling about the history and culture of his town while showing us the sights. We truly recommend Nacho for his warmth, expertise and enthusiasm.

If you want to go back in time to an era of stunning muslim architecture, art and ingenuity, this tour is it. Our guide Nacho was a force of nature providing a high-energy journey mixing informative history with a big dollop of humorous insight. Then you’ll be taken on a delightful trip to Sacromonte, the Gypsy section and the birthplace of flamenco. It’s wonderful. (Don’t forget to take the time to see true flamenco dance performers here. It’s a master class on this exciting and sensual art form.)

Nacho was the perfect guide for the neighborhoods of Granada. He's easy going, funny, and was informative about the history of the city. We definitely saw sides of the city that we would not have on our own!
