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.

Muslim Palaces and Romantic Gardens
Overview of your Granada tour
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. So many nooks full of history, where I'd be delighted to show and also to reveal the secrets that it keeps within the walls. And small citadel that was the capital of one of the most important territories of our history, which is linked to year of 1492, the conquest of Granada and the discovery of America, the end of one dynasty and the beginning of a new empire. For me, this place is my second home, where I spend most of my life. I really feel comfortable here, and I'd like to share this feeling with you, an unforgettable experience.
Your Granada tour itinerary
- I start at the main entrance - I make a historical introduction - I enter to the monument visiting: * The Generalife (Summer Residence and Gardens) * Charles V Palace (Reinassance Palace) * The Alcazaba (Old fortress) * The Nasrid Palaces (Mexuar, Comares and Lions) - During the visit I leave free time for having a break, the tour lasts over three hours including the stop. I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour. - I recommend to wear comfortable shoes, because we walk on red clay pathways, cobble-stone floors and also asphalt, even we find some steps during the visit but are not so complicated.
