Very bad and very rude tour operator
Very bad experience, the tour operator is so rude and they didn’t reply to our phone calls.. they charged very high price and all we got for this price was only the tickets which were left over for us with someone outside!!! No audio assistance!!!! The tour operator didn’t even bother to help with instructions after we missed the guide!!!!!!!

Little jewel of a tour
Our guide, Chema (hope I wrote it right), was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Everytime me or someone else from the tour asked the ins and outs of this majestic fortress/city, he managed to come up with a little story or fun fact that went along with the information. We would not have learned as much by ourselves if it wasn't for him. There were also brief resting breaks for us to visit the restroom or indulge ourselves in the souvenir shop. Wasn't crowded at all, as there is a limited number of visitors per day. It's a MUST if you come to Spain, in order to gain insight into part of the Andalusian culture. It's worth the extra money for the reduced tours.

Great German-language Tour!
It was generally definitely worth booking the skip the line pass. Upon arrival, I saw many tourists being turned away from purchasing same day tickets onsite, as tickets were sold out. As for the tour itself: 10/10. Our tour guide Daniel, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Alhambra- but tempered this with a wry sense of humor that kept the tour interesting and upbeat. There is simply no comparison between a simple audio Tour via app- and a real, full -fledged local history buff, in terms of experience, clarity, and interaction. Our tour was in German (Daniel is Austrian), and he also speaks English. Spanish and French fluently. Daniel- Thanks for the great experience, and also for helping me find my way to Sacromonte when I got lost after the tour.

Jewish Quarter of Granada tour

Is it your second time in the city and you are wondering what is the most authentic thing to see? Are you passionate about history and would you like to lose yourself in the streets of the old Jewish quarter? Granada has all these possibilities and much more. Join us for the following journey through history to discover one of the highlights of the city with the following Jewish quarter tour in Granada.

A pleasant two hours tour through the old Jewish quarter of Granada, the Realejo neighborhood. Monasteries, convents, palaces and noble residences garnish every single street of this area. Walking through this monumental site with more than 500 years of history, we will get breathtaking views of the whole city.

From the Bermejas Towers, remains from the IX Century, we will walk down the hill among the forest of the Alhambra, with the wonderful background of the sound of the fountains and the smell of the gardens.

A tour designed to bring the forgotten Jewish past of Granada to light again.

If we explain a little more in depth what are the particularities that make the Realejo the jewish quarter Granada par excellence, we have a very extensive list. Let’s take it one by one.

The first thing that makes it stand out is that it is one of the oldest quarters of Granada. It is a magical place with whitewashed houses, Cármenes and palaces dating back to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance or even Gothic.

At the time of its greatest splendour, that is, during the Nasrid kingdom, the Realejo served as the Jewish quarter of Granada and was home to around 20,000 people. The vast majority of them were Jews, and they stayed there for 15 centuries. It was at the end of the 15th century when the Catholic Monarchs decreed their expulsion.

Nowadays we find that not much has changed apart from the people and the configuration of the streets. It is still a very popular neighbourhood and inhabited by many locals who maintain the essence that it never lost. If we have to highlight the Jewish quarter of the Realejo for something else, it is undoubtedly its religious fervour, as it is a traditional brotherhood quarter, as can be seen during Holy Week and in the square where the statue of the Cristo de los Favores (Christ of the Favores) is located.

If you find yourself in the Alhambra, it will be very easy to go down to this other neighbourhood made up of narrow streets that are lost as far as the eye can see. As a curious fact we can tell you about the Antequeruela (a way of saying “little Antequera”). This area is so named because it was founded at the beginning of the 15th century when the Christians expelled the Muslims from Antequera. Another of the most beautiful curiosities is that, according to historians, the origin of the current name of the city of the Alhambra can be found in the old name of this neighbourhood. At that time it was known as Garnata Al-Yahud.

These and many more surprises such as the Campo del Príncipe are just some of the surprises that await you when you visit the jewish quarter Granada with us. Discover the purest essence of Granada with local guides with great advantages over other tours or visiting the city on your own.

Don’t forget that you can also contact us with any questions you may have. We will be happy to make the necessary adjustments to make your visit to Granada an unforgettable experience.
