    Pleasant visit to Granada
    The mini bus picked us up on time. The guide in Granada was knowledgeable and the tour was interesting. You don’t have a lot of free time, but more than some tours.

    Skip the lines with guided tours is the most efficient way to maximize the Alhambra visit!
    This was a great tour - the guide was very knowledgeable and engaging at a good pace to allow time to linger in some areas of more interest. It also seemed that the organized tour groups had priority getting through lines at each area, making the tour very streamlined and less stressful. I’m sure an audio guide would be fine but the experience of having a guide to ask questions is invaluable.

    Loved our Camininto del Rey tour!
    Wow! This tour exceeded our expectations. We were a small group of 4. Jose was our driver to and from Granada, and he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and drove safely. At Caminito del Rey, a gorgeous area, their tour was very well organized into groups of 15-18 adults and kids. Our official guide, Javi, was educational, warm and friendly— and all safety protocols were superb. We are in our early 70’s and the tour was fast paced with about 6-7km of walking, and all very do-able. Loved our tour!

    Spectacular and very recommended
    Highly recommended. Our driver and guide Gonzalo was excellent and took us to see some unique gems. We specially loved the visit with one of the town’s resident who invited us to see his ancient home. The landscape and the towns were spectacular.

    Wonderful experience
    Visiting this place is a must if you are in Andalusia. Walking on the sides of the mountains and crossing the bridge is amazing. I advice periods of the year when it is not very hot. Avoid if you suffer from vertigos

    Alpujara did not disappoint
    Not a comfortable minivan as promised to transport us. Though the taxi was comfortable for us English. The guide was meant to be multilingual but even the Mexicans with us found the Spanish difficult to understand English was poor too. Apart from that the tour was fantastic, we enjoyed all the sites that we visited. The roads were so well maintained even on the mountains that the ride was very comfortable. The white villages were fantastic and the ham factory, the olives and almond trees were great, the carpet weaving was great to see.

    Caminito Del Rey
    Be aware that there is 1.5km walk to the entrance, in total the walk is about 8km long accordingly to Strava. Good facilities at the end of the walk. Toilets are available at the beginning. We were advised to arrive an hour earlier however we couldn't enter before the time so were stood waiting. Stunning views along the walk would do it again.

    Pampaneira y Alpujarra villages
    Unique insight into the pueblos blancos of the Alpujarra. Our guide Carlos was a font of knowledge on the history, geology and culture of the region and maintained good humour throughout. Carlos is also an excellent and patient driver on the steep, winding roads. There was a good mix of coordinated group activity and time for independent exploring of the pueblos

    Beautiful city with a great tour guide!
    We did the half day private walking tour of Ronda with Tania. It was fantastic!! Beautiful city with all sorts of history and Tania provided all the important information on Ronda. Loved the views, the bull fighting arena, the bridges (new and old) and more. Could have asked for more on this tour.

    Excellent tour of a beautiful part of Spain.
    This was a wonderful day trip to a very beautiful part of southern Spain. Our driver and tour guide Gonzalo had a very deep knowledge of the ancient and modern history of the Alpujarras and the communities that live there. The villages and the beautiful white stone dwellings, cobbled pavements along with breath taking views of the mountains was something to behold and treasure. The tour guide Gonzalo was charming, friendly, totally professional and had a great sense of humour. I couldn't recommend this trip strongly enough.

    A step on the wild side
    Amazing scenery with breathtaking views and an engaging guide. More info required however about the start (ticket and time entry) and end (see later). Groups too big or radio too poor as sound regularly dropped out or crackled. No mention at all of the long walk at the end which was uphill in the heat still carrying helmets plus no mention of where to pick up the bus to get back to start point. Had to pay for bus back which again wasn’t mentioned.

    Perfect tour for Alhambra and surroundings
    My visit to the Alhambra was absolutely fantastic. The tour agent managed everything with great care, even calling us 20 minutes before the tour to help us find the meeting point. The equipment provided worked perfectly. What stood out the most was our guide, a historian professor, who was incredibly detailed. He focused on the most important aspects within the available time and answered every question we had. Considering the number of sites to explore, the time constraints, and the security measures required to enter each building, the experience was well worth the cost. Excellent value for money! WARNING: Please bring your passport or ID card (they will remind you of this beforehand) as you could face issues with the strict security measures. This isn’t the tour agent’s fault, but it might delay the group visit or even result in you being left behind. My daughter forgot her ID, but the staff managed to make an exception, which we greatly appreciated, though it could have gone wrong.

    Great day out at Geopark
    Had a great day out at the Geopark with our lovely guide Carlos. There were only 5 of us on the trip 2 Welsh and 3 Spanish and Carlos patiently translated everything for us. We were able to visit sites that would be missed had we not been with a guide and learned at lot on the day. We had spectacular views over the valleys and enjoyed Guadix with its quirky houses in the caves. Great day out

What an amazing hike. Jose, a.k.a., the goat, was a fantastic guide. We were the only two that showed up so it was a private tour. We had a blast and walked all the way to the top. Definitely dress in layers and bring sunscreen. Amazing views. Stopped at a fantastic restaurant at the bottom of the hill on the river, extremely authentic Spanish, food, and plenty of sangria.

It is a worthwhile tour to make. Great scenery especially since it had snowed right before our tour. Just make sure to wear proper attire (check weather) and know that you will be walking up hill in rocky terrain. It was just breathtaking. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very eager to make sure all were pleased with the experience. Must eat at Restaurante Maitena while you are there.

Fantastic day in the high mountains with Carlos our guide. Carlos has so much knowledge of the area and tailored the walk to the group's preference. We headed away from the more crowded areas to a secluded valley and didn't see anyone else apart from goats (with their sheep dog) and horses for a couple of hours. It was a memorable day for our small group.

The guide had a lot knowledge of the mountain and surrounding area. The tour was adapted to our request as we were the only two persons at the tour.
The guide came with nice alternatives and suggestions to fit our interests in the beginning of the tour. We can really recommend it. Fantastic views over the mountain.

We had a great time. Enjoyed the sight from high elevation and went to the ski resort where we enjoyed time sleigh riding and snowtubing. We had a great tour guide that personalized our trip. Also got some souvenirs from one of the small shops. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss and just a short trip from Granada. Great for kids and families.

This is a great day out of the city! You’ll learn so much about the area; including the geography, culture, agriculture, etc. and get some excellent exercise with impressive views of the mountains all around you. Our driver was Josè and he was extremely friendly, fun and informative. He doesn’t rush you, and always makes sure you’re comfortable and happy. On top of it all, we ate lunch at a beautiful restaurant that we never would have gone to without this trip and Jose. Be sure to follow their advice on what to bring and you’ll love your time on this tour!

We booked a tour into the Sierra Nevada starting from Granada. Carlos our tour guide and driver prepared a very beautiful custom tour for us. He showed us amazing viewpoints, we did some hikes through the awesome scenery of the the sierra and talked about geology and history. It was super interesting and entertaining. That would normally the end of the review...but I forgot my glasses in Carlos' car and had a super tight time window for my departure from the airport. When I realised that I was already in the taxi to the airport...I contacted Discovering Spain by Whatsapp. The website of Discovering Spain told me 'closed on the afternoon'. But a friendly team member read my message, answered and called Carlos. Carlos whatsapped me he could be at the airport in 20min - 5min to my boarding. We met at the security (I was already screened) and I had my glasses back. Awesome reaction and awesome service by Discovering Spain and the man of the day Carlos. Thank you!

I am delighted with the unknown beauty of Sierra Nevada! It is an impressive landscape and the team from Discovering Spain made it so convenient and pleasant for exploring. I had the chance to understand the history and geography of the different mountains, together with an enthusiastic tour guide and very a nice crew. I would like to do it again.

Carlos was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the history of the area and knew the local trails well.
The hike was challenging at times, gaining an altitude of almost 1000 m
