Katya is a friendly and knowledgeable guide who is able to give detailed history in many areas, making her tours interesting and relevant. She is also able to emphasize what you are more interested in, making it more of a curated experience for you. Highly recommended!

Katya was fantastic. She’s very knowledgeable and her passion for Granada and history is obvious. Katya was very patient and engaging with our entire family and adapted the tour according to our interests and the flow of the crowds. Put simply, our tour was amazing. I highly recommend Katya.

    Magical step back in time

    Our decision to book a private tour with Katya was a great one. She was so helpful as we struggled to book our Granada Cards online (Use Paypal!), and gave us the gift of her knowledge and insights as we experienced this spectacular historic landmark. The luxury of experiencing the Alhambra as a small group was well worth it! We highly recommend Katya, and booking your tickets well in advance!

    Recommended Alhambra guide!

    She was great! Very knowledgeable and had a fun style. She was very prompt and readily answered our questions. Her voice is a little soft but also added to her style.

    Katya was a fantastic guide. She shared so many interesting facts beyond what you read in a guidebook, and always knew how to avoid the crowds at the most popular places to take pictures. Do not hesitate to book a tour with her!

    Friendly, knowledgeable no nonsense guide - best of 4 at the Alhambra

    pyerstucker, Aug 2024
    Katya is an extremely helpful, knowledgeable and amusing guide. We had 4 guides over the three days we visited the Alhambra and she was easily the best

    Great Alhambra tour with a great guide!

    Aurora_S, Jul 2024
    Katy’s was very knowledgeable and sensitive to having children on our tour. She was very communicative before the tour-we were driving from a town 1.5 hours away and she helped direct us to parking and how to locate her. We really enjoyed the tour!

    Perfect

    Brian_H, Jun 2024
    Perfect. Katya was knowledgable on all subjects and flexible to focus most on what we were interested in. She also helped us get tickets when the main website was sold out -- our visit would not have even been possible without her.

    Tanya is the guide you want and need for the Alhambra

    nyclpg, May 2024
    This was my second guided tour of the Alhambra. And by far the best. Tanya is a consummate guide and if you book this tour consider yourself very lucky. As an art historian she will bring to your tour information no other guide will bring. You will understand the art, the architecture, and the history that is the Alhambra. It will be the most rewarding 3 hours you will spend, and you will walk away more knowledgeable than any other person visiting this UNESCO site.

    Excellent guide, much better than a group option

    Gonzalo_C, Sep 2023
    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.
