“The Alhambra was breathtaking. Our guide (Natasha) was excellent. She provided a very informative and good humoured tour, answering all questions. At several intervals she invited the group to answer questions of her own about the possible use or identify of several objects and artefacts. We were given adequate time to take photographs at various points during the tour. A memorable experience enhanced by first class tour guide.”

“Our tour of the Generalife and the entire Alhambra complex with Gosha, a trained landscape architect, could not have been more perfect. Her excellent English skills, knowledge of all the plants and the garden history was exactly what I had hoped for. Gosha also provided an extremely detailed and thorough tour of the entire Alhambra including the Nasrid palaces. The extra cost for a private tour for the two of us was well worth this once-in-a-lifetime experience!”
