The intensity for this guided tour is baja and very accessible for pushchairs or wheelchairs. Normally this tour is enjoyed as a Free tour.

Free Tour Albaicín Alto Center: This tour is not as complex as most tours that usually take the Albaicín since the grace of this is that the meeting point is up, so it can be accessed by public transport and once you find the guide above the Albaicín , the rest is walking flat or downhill, which is less intense and more possible for those who do not want to sweat, exhaust themselves or those who suffer from some type of impediment. It is to see the entire upper Albaicín and go down enjoying the Alhambra one hundred percent. 'Don't forget to bring your camera!

Sunset Tour Granada: Sunset over Albaicín & Sacromonte: The itinerary is different from the previous one and the duration is more or less the same, this tour always goes according to the afternoon-night schedules, that is, the schedule when sunset, to see the most spectacular time interval of all hours that you can spend in Granada. The purpose of this format tour It is for the delight of the "momentazo" during sunset. It usually lasts about 2 hours and its intensity required is medium. A marvel!.

Tour Albaicin & Sacromonte + Museum of the Caves: this tour consists of visiting the areas where you can enjoy the best panoramic views of the Alhambra, which are the Albaicín and Sacromonte, and we include the Museum of the Sacromonte Caves. It has the most complete itinerary of all for the total knowledge of both neighborhoods, both its history, its people, its culture, its environment, its alleys, etc., a tour for which you need to be a little bit in shape , carries a average physical intensity. The almost 3-hour tour that can last is very worthwhile.

Historical Women of Granada Tour: It is a themed guided tour, the format is similar to the Historical and Monumental Center Tour but the route is not the same and the visit is not the same either, the theme is based on the not-so-told or more forgotten story about the women's history that had power or relevance in the history of Granada. East tour it includes a bit of everything: the lower city of Granada and also a bit of the Alhambra hill. The required intensity is media.

Craft Beer Tour: It is a route with a format and theme that is very different from the rest of the visits, on this guided route you can see three neighborhoods of the lower center of Granada and they are tested three beers Granada artisans. A very alternative tour if you are looking for a good fusion between beer culture and history, short but intense, for this tour no specific type of physical capacity is required, everyone can come, children do not participate in the drinks and that is why they can come free to at least enjoy the explanations.
