We summarize our history, the types of guests we work with most often, and the languages we guide in, so you can decide whether our style matches your clients. You\u2019ll also find references to our awards, certifications, and media mentions, which you can share with your travelers as reassurance that they are in experienced, well-reviewed hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let us help you fall in love with our city.\u00a0Get to know the city in the company of experts from Granada and feel like you are a local, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Cicerone?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We thought it was an excellent name to use for ourselves, because the meaning of the term \u201cCicerone\u201d fits exactly what we are: professional guides. As such, we guide the guests who choose us with all the warmth and friendliness of a Granada local. Our small group tours are intended mainly for couples and groups of friends who are looking for someone they can feel comfortable with to accompany them on a nice experience they can remember from Granada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why hire Cicerone guides?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We know that you don\u2019t want anyone to recite a memorized series of facts and figures that feel meaningless to you. You want us, your hosts, to show you the best of Granada and help you relate to our customs and culture. And that\u2019s exactly what we do.<\/p>\n<p>On many of our guided tours, you get the chance to have a drink and try a tapa with your guide, and you get to take advantage of that time to ask questions and learn everything you want to know about the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have a proven track record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cicerone was founded in 2003, and ever since then, we have worked constantly so that you can enjoy our city as much as we do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Cicerone, we are creators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We design, produce, and guide our very own cultural tours.

Not only do we have the best Cicerone guide staff members, but we also help them grow by making sure they receive ongoing training.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t take our word for it, since speaking well of oneself is quite easy: we have received awards and quality certificates that endorse our work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cicerone\u2019s awards and certificates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ciceronegranada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/premios_cicerone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"147\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Our rating on Tripadvisor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ciceronegranada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/image-4.png\" alt=\"Puntuaci\u00f3n media Tripadvisor\" width=\"307\" height=\"293\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want to find out more about us, please call or write.
