Our Tours
“If you were to visit just one city in Spain, it should be Granada”. Ernest Hemingway.
The most important monument to visit is the Alhambra, then the Old Muslim part of Granada called the Albayzín, the City Center where is possible to find the most outstanding Catholic Buildings, followed by the Realejo, Old Jewish section and not forgetting the unique Sacromonte where some gypsy families live.
The Alhambra is the most precious stone that Granada has, it was built during the Middle Ages and it hides several secrets and wonders. Clay, plaster, marble, wood, water, are just some elements employed by the Nasrid dynasty to create an incomparable citadel to see. Then the Generalife, which is nearby, shows us an amazing landscape of Granada, surrounded by orchards and gardens, with plenty of flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables.

Guillermo López Capelli
Official Tour Guide
Welcome to Granada! My name is Guillermo and, I’m an official tour guide in this lovely city.
After I finished my degree in Tourism in 2008, I worked in two tourist information centers and also as a receptionist in a few hotels. But finally in 2013 I focused on one of my passions, to be a tour guide and, I’m very satisfied with my decision. Costumer-oriented work showing Granada’s heritage is a privilege, and a present that I receive with passion and dedication.
Granada is unique, but eventually there are thousands of options in Granada, so you should come to look for yours. Fortunately, I was born and raised in one of the most genuine quarters in town, and I develop my occupation where I spent part of my childhood, that’s a great luck for me.
To be a tour guide is more than telling the history that a city has, it’s about imparting through reading, studying and own experiences, and 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 guide.
Mamen Estevan Céspedes
Official Tour Guide
Hello! My name is Mamen. Despite being raised in the warm Mediterranean of Almería, I always know from my childhood that Granada would en up being (part of) my life. For that to happen I studied a degree in tourism at the University of Almería and a master’s degree in business management and administration at the University of Alicante, I worked in hotels and car rentals, I traveled around the world, I learned languages and history and I moved to Berlin in 2009 where I was lucky to start working as a tour guide. After several years of experience in the German capital, in 2014 I decided to return to the city of my dreams, Granada, where it has been normal since then to find me walking its streets with anyone who wants to join me.
For me, guiding is not just memorizing a speech and relating it. For me, guiding means learning the historical part in order to understand and build a more prosperous present and future. Guiding means to meet incredible people from many parts of the world with whom to exchange impressions and knowledge. The true objective of the tour guide should be to interpret the heritage in such a way that the visitor sits for a while as the protagonist of the history, and if there’s something that is not lacking in Granada it is history and heritage. An enormous legacy as a result of the Arab, Jewish, Christian and Gypsy heritage that we Andalusian people preserve. Granada is the Alhambra, and it is the Royal Chapel, it is the Cathedral, and it is the Albayzín, it is the Sacromonte and flamenco. And of course, guiding in Granada also implies that, for a few seconds, the silence gives way to contemplate the beauty that this city full of perspectives offers. If you want to discover them, I will be happy to show them to you.
