Dear travelers, I am a Licensed tour guide for all the region of Andalucia, and I'm currently working as a self-employed tour guide in Granada. I hold a degree in Art History and I'm specialized in Architecture and Cultural Heritage; I'm also trained in Building Techniques, as an expert in Restoration, and therefore my professional background includes fields as Restoration & Archaeology. But I also do love traveling as well, and I've worked in many different areas in the Tourism Industry, which makes me aware of the importance of a flawless and straightforward customer service. I enjoy solo traveling and I've travelled through Europe with an Interrail Pass twice; I've lived in many different places, including a ten-month stay in the USA during my sophomore year in high school; around two years in Italy learning about restoration, and other two years in the UK working as an archaeologist. I always try to get the most out of what life has to offer. The tours I provide in Granada include the Alhambra & Generalife complex or Walking Tours in different parts of the city as Albayzín & Sacromonte, Cathedral, etc. But let me know which are your particular interests and I will design a bespoke tour especially for you! I'm also a real foodie, as my parents had a lovely family restaurant when I was a teenager and we've always been really interested both in traditional gastronomy and in Nouvelle cuisine, and we love to try all the new restaurants in town! Therefore, I also do Tapas Tours, and I have designed a Vegan/vegetarian Tapas Tour, specially conceived for people with food restrictions who want to enjoy a truly Tapas experience in Granada (something sometimes difficult if you don't know where to go!!). All my Tapas Tours are also adapted for people with mobility issues. . . same as the Alhambra tour (not so easy for the City Tour though, but we can always try to give you the best solution, of course!). And obviously, apart from guiding you around Granada, I can also give you some good advices about the best places to eat and where you can find that perfect & unique souvenir. . . So, if you're coming to Granada, and want to get the most out of it, do not hesitate to contact me!! Marina :) 2008 Master's Degree in Architecture and Cultural Heritage - University of Sevilla. 2005 Bachelor's Degree in Art History - University of Granada. 2004 Building techniques for heritage conservation - Centro Albayzín, Granada.

A moderately demanding walking tour to help you discover the most visited monument in Spain. We will stroll around medieval and renaissance palaces, archaeological remains and scented orchards while I explain you the fascinating history of this part of the world, during a very specific time. . . the decadence of the last muslim kingdom in Al-Andalus, and the conquest of Granada by the Catholic Kings in 1492. Definitely one of the most beautiful places on earth, it's breathtaking views and landscapes will impress you.
This was an excellent tour which exceeded our expectations. Marina is an absolutely fantastic guide. She has a wealth of knowledge about the Alhambra, explains things very clearly and was always ready to answer any questions. She was very patient and accommodating with our group of 6, working in rest time for a couple of us who have some mobility issues. She went above and beyond during the tour, and you could not find a better guide. Thank you so much Marina!
Marina was fantastic! She was so knowledgable--there seems to be no question she cannot answer--and presented her knowledge in a fun and engaging way. Her tour was simply fascinating. We had the very best time and recommend her highly.
We enjoyed our tour with Marina very much!!! Her communication prior to our tour was easy to understand and she was very responsive. We enjoyed her ability to describe the artifacts and to help us understand the significance to Spanish History. She is warm and friendly and her English dialect is excellent. She was on time and found us with ease! We will see Marina again the next time we are in Spain!
Our family of five spent two days touring with Marina and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our time together. The Alhambra and Generalife is one of the most spectacular sites on the planet. Marina was able to enrich our experience with in-depth insights into the history, design, religion, art, and culture that made these sites come alive. Marina has lived all over the world and related easily to our family. She is very warm and intelligent and allowed our family to get the most out of our time in Granada.
Marina was fantastic; she was able to give me a really detailed 3-hour tour, and she even brought an umbrella, which came in handy because it was raining. She was easygoing, pleasant, and had excellent manners.
Marina was really great! She was very approachable and responded to all our questions and explained even more with her knowledge. Thank you Marina!
The ideal tour would be as follows: -We would meet half an hour before our scheduled time right next to the ticket office, by a big map on the wall where it's written "Alhambra" -Bring and show your identification in order to enter the complex -From here we would stroll down to the Door of Justice -Access into the Alhambra through one of the four original gates -Head to the Nasrid Palaces to access them right in time -Head towards the Generalife -We will go through its famous gardens and orchards, until we arrive to the Royal Almunia of the Sultans of Granada This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly.

1f Paseo de la Sabica, Granada, Andalucía, 18009, Spain
At the main entrance of the Alhambra & Generalife complex, right next to the ticket office, in front of a map on the wall where it's written "Alhambra". I would be there waiting for you with a sign with your name on it so you can find me easily.
