We recenently a new bathroom built in our house and the contractor left a lot of grout on the tiles. Is there anyway to remove the grout without ruining the tiles?

Sulfamic acid is the choice of the pros. You'll find it in a small plastic tub in granular form near the tile supplies at Home Depot.
It is acid, so use some care in the application. Good luck!

If the grout is on the face of the tiles a green scrub sponge, coarser than what you use to wash dishes with, works well. Your tile should be glazed so this will not harm the tile. Home Depot sells grout remover, get the sponge wet and scrub away.

You could use vinegar
Run a test on some of it and see how long it takes to lose its consistency.
