Historical Granada Sightseeing Tour

Granada, Spain

Immerse yourself in Granada's rich history on this informative sightseeing tour of the city as you meander through the old quarter of Albaycin, visit the Royal chapel and cathedral and admire the breathtaking views of Alhambra, Granada and Sierra Nevada from the vantage point at the Mirador de San Nicholas.

Your tour begins by visiting the Royal Chapel commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs and built in flamboyant Gothic style. Here you will find the mausoleums of Isabel and Ferdinand and their children Phillip "The Beautiful" and Joan "The Mad". The cathedral stands next to the chapel and is considered as the first renaissance church in Spain.

Continue along Gran Via passing the Gardens of Triunfo and Hospital Real, to reach the old Moorish Quarter of the Albaycin where you can wander the narrow streets before reaching the Mirador de San Nicholas. From here, you can experience the beauty of the Alhambra, Granada and the Sierra Nevada, before enjoying a refreshment at a local café.

An interesting and informative tour worth doing.

Wow! This tour convinced me that your company is superb! I realized when we arrived at our hotel, minutes before the tour was scheduled to begin, that I had not confirmed the tour in advance. I frantically tried to reach the tour operators, to no avail, when our driver suddenly appeared ready to take us to our destination! We learned more about Granada in this four-hour late afternoon tour than we learned in the remaining 36 hours of our stay! Not only were the cathedral and monastery beautiful, but the history imparted to us has piqued my curiosity to learn much more about Ferdinand and Isabella and the Christian "conquest" of the Muslims. And, the old world charm of the Muslim quarter is indescribable. This section of town is "off the beaten path" and we would never have been aware of its existence had it not been included on this tour.

It was well organized. The bus pickup us up on time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and information delivered in a pleasant way - not too much details and many dates.
