Overview

My mission is to help you imagine this magnificent place as it was back in the day, but also have a pleasurable experience and just enjoy yourself in this truly unique place.

I believe I have a completely different approach when it comes to touring and explaining things. I am passionate about what I am doing and you will leave Alhambra with a clear idea of what it was.

Most importantly, your well-being is my top priority during our tour, and everything will be adjusted to your necessities.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: The Alhambra, Calle Real de la Alhambra, s/n Palacio de Carlos V, 18009 Granada Spain

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!

    My 13 year old daughter and I booked a private tour of the Alhambra with Katya during Semana Santa and it was one of the best days of our trip to Spain. First, when we discovered that tickets to the Alhambra were sold out, Katya helped us discover that we could access most of the complex using the Granada Pass. So, were it not for her, we would have missed the Alhambra all together. Once we met, Katya was exceptionally warm and informative throughout our visit. She brought her adorable puppy, Boris, which was a very special treat for my daughter. An art historian, she gave wonderful explanations and stories throughout. We also were able to enjoy the complex and never felt rushed. I would highly recommend Katya to everyone.

    Katya provided cultural and architectural details that really put the rich history of Alhambra and all of Andalusia Spain in context. She explained the conflict as well as the coexistence of the Moors and the Castillians. She unlocked the brilliance of the windows, arches and columned walkways by asking me to bend down to see the perspective of the Moors, who typically sat on cushions on the floor. All in all, a fabulous tour. I hired Katya for a private tour. I really recommend her for a couple or family group! She is pursuing a Master's degree in cultural studies, and her knowledge shows in her descriptions of Alhambra.

    I was excited to go to visit Alhambra in October 2023 with Katya. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and clear, giving us an exceptionally clear idea about what to expect. It is clear she is very knowledgeable and conscientious and cares about her clients. Above and beyond. I felt terrible that I had to cancel the trip a week in advance. Katya could not have been more gracious and understanding.

    Exceptional tour. We weren’t planning on hiring a guide but I’m glad our hotel’s concierge recommended Katya so earnestly. Her passion for art is contagious and we experienced so many aspects of the site we would have completely overlooked if we had visited on our own. Katya’s attention to detail, pointing out subtle differences in the designs allowed us to understand the hidden symbolism within the architecture I particularly appreciated how she effortlessly transported us back in time, allowing us to envision the palace's glory days when it was inhabited by the Nasrid Dynasty. Enriching experience

    We booked this tour with Katya. The tour was done in English but Katya speaks many other languages. We liked her approach and appreciated details that otherwise we would have never known. She was very accommodating to us and adjusted as we went along. We have travelled a lot and had lots of private guides but Katya was by far one of the better ones and we came out of this experience with significant more knowledge of this amazing place Btw. The other tours that claim slip the line as one of the benefits is all BS. There is no such thing as skip the line. You do have a line if you go with a tour guide but at the end it is no difference from one or another.
