Mercedes P.

I am spanish woman, History degree and master in American Anthropology, working as a guide in Granada since 2010 (Oficial licensed guide in Andalucia) Before then I have lived in different countries such as Paraguay and thee Netherlands and have had scholarships in New York and Paris to learn English and French language. For a period of a year I was working in the luxurious train Al Andalus that travels around Andalucia, as a guide first and as the train manager after. At the moment I am home based in Granada and I work as a guide mainly in this city. I love to be a guide so I can provide a nice, interesting and empathic perspective of Granada and its monuments, its society and its history.

Manu B.

Hello! My name is Manu. I am master architect, master in Historical Construction Techniques and licenced guide. I studied architecture in Granada and during the degree I also worked as urban photography teacher and editor in an arts magazine. I finished in 2015 and I did an internship in Yokohama National University in Japan. After that I worked for the structures department of the University of Castilla La Mancha, where I did some restorations and started working with heritage architecture. In 2018 I started my own architecture studio and got an official guiding licence. Since then I work running my own projects and collaborating with different companies while showing the Andalusian architecture , heritage, history and urbanism in the cities of Granada, Sevilla, Guadix and Málaga.

Nacho M.

Welcome to Granada, everyone! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Nacho, and I'm not just your average tour guide – I'm a Granada native with a deep love for this city and its rich history. As an Official Tourist Guide of Granada, I've had the privilege of studying the intricate tapestry of Andalusian art history, focusing on the architectural marvels that spanned from the 7th to the 15th century. Granada, as the last Arabic capital of this period, holds a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to share its wonders with you. But it's not just history that I'm passionate about – I'm also fluent in Spanish, Chinese, English, Italian, and French. So, feel free to converse with me in any of these languages! As Nelson Mandela once said, 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.' Beyond languages and history, I'm an energetic person who loves staying active through sports like cycling, taekwondo, skiing, running, and calisthenics. Being a tour guide isn't just about sharing facts – it's about being physically and mentally prepared to handle any situation while ensuring everyone has a fantastic time. Granada isn't just a city to me; it's my home, and I'm honored to share its charm with you. As Antonio Machado beautifully put it, 'Every city has a special charm, Granada has its own and all the other cities' charm.' So, let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable memories in this enchanting city. Thank you for choosing Granada, and let's make the most of our time here!

Alfredo C.

I'm a licensed tour guide for Andalucia and I love my job. I own a minivan for six passengers (Mercedes-Benz V Class) and I do day trips and tours in a radio of two hours around my hometown. After 10 years working as a guide the most of the tours I do are private tours and I love this type of tours because allow me to be in touch with travellers who really want to enjoy the experience of discovering a destination by the hand of a local guide. When I'm guiding I love to share my expertise and knowledge whit the clients and I have realized that those travelers hiring a private tour want to be in touch with local people. So I include in my tours the visit to olive oil farms, wineries or chese makers. My purpose is that after their holidays clients remember the tour with me as a one of the highlights in the trip to Spain.

“Excellent combined Alhambra and city tour”

Asier is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and a nice friendly person with excellent English. He is able to answer any question you have and catered to our teens as well as the adults very well. We especially appreciated his communication and flexibility in planning our tour. We particularly recommend doing his city tour with the tour of the Alhambra, he showed us things that we would not have found or understood without a guide and it really added to our understanding of the history of Granada. Thank you so much Asier.

“Manu is fantastic ”

Manu is an excellent guide. His English is impeccable, he is extremely organized and knowledgeable about the Alhambra and Spanish history in general. He made the Alhambra come alive for us, painting pictures in our minds of how it was built and occupied centuries past. We saw Granada, Sevilla, and Cordoba on this trip and our party agrees Granada was our favorite. Since all we did in Granada was see the Alhambra with Manu, I can’t help but think he had everything to do with it.
