What people are saying about Province of Granada

A unique experience and a highly recommended adventure. We made a beautiful route through the north of the Granada Geopark. The car is a comfortable 4x4 and we were 6 people including the driver. We had a super nice group and they also understood so it was great for us to learn even more. The delivery of Goyo Garrido Adventures is incredible, they explain everything to you and they also gave us a snack at one of the stops. What more could you want? And as if that were not enough, the route lasted longer than planned and we were able to enjoy it even more. Of 10 and totally recommendable, surely we will do something else with them.

We did this with our two children to motivate them into walking, whilst we got to see the sights of Granada. We really enjoyed solving the clues & it made more enjoyable for them.

Saw Alhambra at night with our tour guide Ava. It’s a different experience seeing it lit up at night, and having a tour guide along definitely enhanced what we were seeing.

It was a very nice experience, we learnt a lot of things about granada and we would recommend it definetelly :-)

Very friendly staff. Bikes were good and I had plenty of battery for a whole day of riding.
