From the guide

Discover the essence of Granada through its most iconic sites in this walking tour, where you decide at the end how much to pay the independent guide in a *pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth* format.

From the historic Plaza Nueva to the lively Alcaicería market, explore the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, and the Moorish Corral del Carbón. Learn about the city’s rich past at Plaza Isabel La Católica and end your journey in the charming Albaicín, with its narrow streets and stunning Alhambra views. A perfect introduction to Granada’s history and beauty, all under the spirit of a *pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth tour*.

Due to the dynamics of this *pay-what-you-think-it-was-worth tour*, groups of 9 people or more are not allowed. Although the reservation engine allows booking in separate groups (for example: a group of 8 people and a group of 3 people, or more), the person in charge of the meeting point may reject the group in case of identifying this type of reservation.
