Our guides

We feel that one of the key factors for a successful language vacation are the guides who accompany our students during the cultural activities. Our local guides offer exceptional services and show a side of Granada few visitors ever get to experience. Knowledgeable, professional, passionate, friendly … they will make every effort to ensure that a language holiday in Granada is truly unforgettable. Better than a guide, students will get a local friend. All of our guides are professional licensed and experts in their specialized fields. Furthermore, they are used to work with different student profiles. They are flexible and will tailor the activities to the specific needs, the Spanish language level and the preferences of our students.
