Welcome to Granada! My name is Guillermo and I'm an Official Tour Guide in this unique town. After I finished my degree in Tourism in 2008, I worked in a couple of tourist information offices and also as a receptionist in three different hotels. But finally in 2013, I focused on my dream, to become to be a tour guide and I'm cheerful with my decision. Costumer-oriented work showing Granada's heritage is a privilege and a gift that I transmit with passion and dedication. Luckily, I was born and raised in Granada and I'm blessed to have my job where I've been living during my entire live. Concretely I've spent part of my childhood in the Albayzín and I think that's a huge advantage for me, because I've been learning how to guide in Granada because of my own experiences. After guiding for the last 12 years and collaborating with Tours By Locals since 2017, each tour that I can guide is a new opportunity to meet interesting people that decided to visit our lovely city. When I have some free time I love travelling abroad, visiting new countries, for the moment 38 and counting. In my opinion, to be a tour guide is much more than walking and talking, it's about sharing knowledge and experiences, if you really enjoy what you do, everything is easier, that's my philosophy. If the typical tour is NOT in your plans, then I'll be your local tour guide. - Degree in Tourism (Higher School of Tourism Alhamar de Granada - Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia UNED) - Official Tour Guide in Andalusia (Andalusian Government) - Junta de Andalucía - Languages Credentials in English (Cambridge University Press & Assessment) and in Italian (Società Dante Alighieri) I am a licensed guide, and have no restrictions.

The most outstanding monuments and quarters of Granada
Overview of your Granada tour
Do you imagine having a full picture of Granada in just a day? Do you think is possible? Well certainly I will make sure you understand our history and culture taking you to the must see attractions and explaining you why are these some of the most visited monuments in the country. The Alhambra of Granada is considered to be the best preserved Muslim fortress of Europe, and one of the best of the world. It's a unique place, full of gardens and palaces, where it is possible to get lost in the history, the Middle Ages and also the Renaissance. An amazing combination of the Orient and Occident art in the last Islamic kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula. After this, let me take you to discover Granada, one of the most important cities in Europe during the Middle Ages, founded in 1013 by the Ziriids, and controlled for centuries by the Nasrids. Thousands of people living in a chosen place where Muslims, Jews and Christians used to coexist.

Guillermo was a fabulous tour. So knowledgeable Exactly what we were hoping for so we could learn all the history of Granada but with a specific focus on Alhambra and other historic parts of this beautiful city
Peggy B.United States
Our guide Guillermo was fantastic! He met us at our hotel which made it so easy on us. He took us through the Alhambra and was very detailed in his descriptions of historic events. He offered to take pictures for us at important spots! He then took us to the old town and again shared his knowledge of that area and then we walked down into town. Left us at a great restaurant for a late lunch! I highly recommend him if you are visiting the Alhambra. I am sure he is also as knowledgeable in his other tours!
Brenda O.United States
Guillermo was everything you could ask for in a guide. He was easy to understand, extremely knowledgeable, answered questions, found places for the best views and photos, was protective of our space when we were in congested areas. Very enjoyable to hang out with for the day. As a group of 4 we loved our tour of Alhambra and Granada with Guillermo. 100% recommend him as a guide.
