Sixthrills, Granada

The highlight of our time in Granada was by far our tour of the Alhambra with Pablo. I was a bit hesitant to join a group tour at first as they can often feel impersonal and scripted, but Pablo expertly connected with the group right away and got us all excited for the specific tour he had in mind for us. He obviously has a wealth of knowledge on the history of the Alhambra (we later found out he has his PhD in History and also teaches at a local university), but what I found even more impressive was his ability to coax us along through the tour using his storytelling skills. My wife has worked in travel for years and organized many tours herself, and even she was impressed. She stated that she knows that guides are often faced with the challenge of keeping the group together, but with Pablo it seemed like we were all chasing after him so as not the miss the end of whatever story he was telling at the moment! The other staff back at the 6 Thrills office were equally friendly and helpful. We spoke with Alex at the front desk when looking for a good seafood recommendation. He sat us down and even drew us a map of his personal favorite places for seafood and tapas. Best seafood we had in Granada. I am sworn to secrecy not to share them online, so if anyone is curious head over to 6 Thrills to chat with Alex! :)

We went on a tour of the Alhambra in April. Our Sixthrills guide was Hannah. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, funny, engaging and spoke perfect English. We met her at Sixthrills comfortable reception area in the center of Granada, and she took us up to the site. We loved the Alhambra, but we loved Hannah just as much. I think all of our small group was sad to say goodbye to her.
