The Alhambra is a must in the city of Granada for everything it contains: a place full of history, art, legends and a mix of cultures.

On a 3 hour-tour we will learn how this palace complex was founded, how people lived here and what is its current state. We could visit the Nasrid Palaces where the sultans used to live with their families; the Alcazaba that served as defense; the Medina where the people lived and also the vacation and rest palace of sultans.

What a wonderful few hours we had with the lovely Carolina. Her enthusiasm and passion for the Alhambra was contagious and we learned so much more than we expected. She was also able to tailor her commentary to our specific interests showing a real depth of understanding about the Alhambra. We would absolutely recommend Carolina and this private tour.WOW

Carolina was a wonderful guide, enthusiastic, passionate, friendly and generous. In our 3 hours together, she shared with us many details and histories of the Alhambra and Granada city that enriched our experience of the Nasrid Palaces and Generalife Gardens. I'm grateful for her inclusivity towards our two kids (8 & 10 years old) and willingness to take breaks when we needed them. She offered to take photos of us as a family in various key locations and happily gave us recommendations for places to eat for the remainder of our stay. Visiting the Alhambra was a bucket list item for me personally and Carolina made the experience as good as it could possibly be!The best guide we've had in Spain!

We booked Carolina to take us around the Alhambra, and thanks to her vast knowledge, vibrant personality, and work ethic, we felt like we had traveled through time back to the moments that she was describing. She is simply amazing! We were lucky to have booked her, without knowing how great she was, for a second tour which we also loved!!! If you have the opportunity to be part of one of her tours, you will understand why we felt so lucky to be shown Granada by someone as great as Carolina. We will look for her if we ever comeback.An unforgettable experience!

Carolina is a terrific guide and is personable, warm, and makes sure to cover the things you’re interested in. I learned so many interesting things - about the local flora, architecture, and how to imagine locals were living hundreds of years ago. Her tour was the highlight of my time in Granada; can’t wait to go back!I learned so much, had an amazing time!

Friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide Carolina was booked relatively last minute due to cancellation of another guide. Carolina was welcoming and friendly from the moment we met. Carolina explained the history, architecture and art in an informative way and pointed out many interesting points we would have missed without a guide. Really recommend CarolinaFriendly & enthusiastic guide

We had a great walk around Granada with Carolina. She is very friendly, animated, fun and knowledgeable. The highlights were being brought to the local market for the best local food, the secret viewing area of the Alhambra, the history of the Christian’s, Moors etc. Next time, she is bringing us skiing! Thank you Carolina. Ian & RiaA wonderful afternoon with Carolina!

Carolina is very welcoming and has deep knowledge of Granada. She is very energetic, and we felt connected instantly. The places and information she shared with us are not something we could get from any tourist guide or books. Next time when we are back in Granada, we for sure want to ask Carolina as our guide again. Thank you!Great way to see the city and hidden gems

We all had such a great time with Carolina! She made us feel so welcome and “at home”. It was great to get a feel of where the locals hang and to try their fabulous favorites. She was also so conscientious of my son’s food preferences. We would recommend to all of our friends!!Amazing!!!

More about me

Hi It's Carolina.

I was born in Madrid where I studied a Tourism degree in the Complutense University and I began my professional career as a freelance tourist guide.

After some trips abroad to Europe, South America, Asia, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand or Nepal I decided to move to Granada. I have been fascinated by Granada since the first time in the town because of the vibes and the amazing melt of cultures that I found here. I can spend hours touring through the city where I always find some of my passions like art, architecture, culture or history... I am also interested in gastronomy as a good foodie I am.

Why not share all these gems of Granada together? I want to show you different ways to enjoy your stay discovering treasures, secrets or hidden spots that only insiders know in the city. What could go wrong?

What about me? I have many hobbies like traveling, nature, yoga, dancing, hiking, reading or just having a warm conversation with friends. Those are the things I want to put in my everyday life.

I can always personalize our tour according to your preferences, don't hesitate to ask any kind of questions.

Let’s enjoy together!
