My name is Sara. I am licensed guide in Madrid and the sorrounding areas. I hold a masters degree in Fine Arts and since I can remember art, languages, culture and history have been passions. I spent my college years in Madrid. Later I developed a career as an Art Educator and I had brief but fulfilling experiences in Tourism and Outreach. Ultimately, my nomadic spirit pushed me to live and work in other places. Italy, the Basque Country, and the USA were part of this fascinating journey. I returned to Madrid in 2019 after 10 years outside with a renewed appreciation and love for my place. I started guiding in 2016. Immediately I knew I was made for it. Today I feel so blessed to have been able to transform my passion for travel and knowledge into a way of living! Facilitating the discovery and enjoyment of my country to others is a real privilege. Madrid has so much to offer and is full of contrasts. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis, but some neighborhoods still preserve the atmosphere of a little quaint town. Its architecture and museums are incredible, its cultural and entertainment options seem endless and its surrounding areas are magnificent. But what makes Madrid really fascinating is its vibrant energy and its way of life. Let me help you to make the most of your stay, sharing the history, art, traditions, gastronomy, and vitality of my land with you. Let me show you how we are, and why this place is so special. I am looking forward to meeting you here and showing you around. I can offer you a private and customized experience that suits your needs, so don't hesitate to ask me about any modifications in my listed tours. I am also more than happy to work for families, offering a fun and educational experience for the young ones too! I am an Official Spanish Guide able to guide in all the National Museums and National Heritage sites. I can organize tours in all the museums, palaces, and districts of the capital. I hold an Official Guide License to guide Toledo's monuments. I can also guide in all Madrid's fascinating surrounding sites like Segovia, Escorial, Aranjuez, and many more. Although I can drive, I prefer to focus on my guide functions, but I can arrange for a car and professional driver.

Sara was a fantastic tour guide. She was knowledgeable of all the history. Spoke very good English. We went through the entire castle at San Lorenzo with great history lessons along the way.

Six star, not five! Sara is great. All the usual picture highlights....BUT....what makes Sara special is her knowledge linking the painters, their biography and context, which gives such a richer understanding of the work. Also, Sara puts in a bit of herself to the tour - she will give a little of her own (very informed) opinions too. It was really good. I...

Thanks you so much for allí your comments. It was a great pleasure to be your guide!
We can only say the most amazing things about Sara - the tour was one of the best we've ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Madrid, the various cultures that contributed, and, most extensively, art history. Her tour of the Prado and Reina Sofia took us to all the highlights, with interpretations that brought the art to life. Sara is...
