Private Guide
The Alhambra
Alhambra is a world-famous monument, but very few people can tell what it was. Was it a palace? A few palaces? A castle? Or was it maybe a fortress? Alhambra is a city that has many secrets, stories, and legends. My goal is to deconstruct these while still sharing the magic of this place with you! I've handcrafted a tour where we will gain insight into all of the dimensions of the Alhambra. You will understand its history, its art, and architecture. Also, we are going to explore its flora and fauna. I promise you will laugh a lot :) I can assure you that whatever question you might come up with about Alhambra is covered in my tour; if not, we probably haven’t gotten to that part yet :) But questions are always welcome!
Generalife
Generalife was a summer residence of sultans. Back in the day it was also a farm. Today it is famous for its beautiful gardens. We are going to visit both gardens and the palace itself.

Katya was amazing! She was communicative, fun and brought her cute dog Boris. Loved her pacing, knowledge and outline of the tour. Would absolutely recommend. And she brought treats for the Alhambra cats 😋

Katya brought Generalife and Alhambra's history to life for our family of four. She is very experienced with the logistics of the complex and that knowldge, coupled with her excellent communication, enabled us to enjoy the experience without hitting any snags along the way. Having this private guide made a major difference in the engagement of my children as well and would highly recommend for families.

Katya was the perfect guide starting with a solid flow of communication leading up to our date to ensure things went smoothly and ease our minds that they would. So much knowledge & history was shared in her peaceful style along with secret spots to avoid crowds or get a good snapshot. Not merely an academic, her love for the Alhambra was evident in her every caring step including bringing treats for the palace cats! I highly recommend Katya for the perfect personal tour.

Really memorable experience. Comfortable, relaxed and informative, I'd encourage you to book Katya for your tour. Well versed in the history of the Alhambra and something of an animal lover. Not only will she take you to perfect picture locations but will be on the look out for frogs, squirrels and cats. A pleasure.

We had wonderful daytime tour of the Alhambra with Katya. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kept our large group (teens and adults) interested . Her stories were the perfect amount of information to bring the Alhambra to life but not make it overwhelming. She was so kind to take many pictures of our group. I absolutely recommend booking with Katya!
