Hi! I'm Silvia. I grew up walking between masterpieces and I consider myself sensitive with art as my mom is an official art restorer at the Royal Palace and Prado Museum! I admire people full of knowledge who can speak about anything so I try to study a bit every day to become one of those people. On the other hand I love foreigners and how they can show you different ways to see life, I also enjoy walking, traveling, sharing. . . I found in my profession the best way to have it all together so I couldn't be happier when I became an official guide 10 years ago, and you are going to feel it!!! Since I was little I wanted to become a guide so I started my career pretty soon, I have a degree in Art History (it takes 5 years in Spain) and I continue studying history of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and other places reading books about it. I learned 6 languages, although I prefer to tour in english because I believe having a broad vocabulary is really important. I guarantee I'll take you to visit all the sites with the feeling of having a local friend who makes sure that your stay is full of pleasant surprises, because empathy is my best skill . We will talk about hidden treasures and rarely-told stories that blend with the city must sees. I will offer you a mix of all tours, mystery, history, art, legends, literature, . . . . The most interesting things, the most curious stories. A PRISM, a different vision about the city and hopefully life. You are the ultimate boss and decide what to see and how many stops you want to do along the way. And I'm just there to make you notice where are you passing through, to make you observe instead of just looking , to tell you stories , and help you learn about the language and culture. Art Historian National tour guide I'm not a driver but I can arrange you a private car and driver or any transport type

On this tour you will enter the Prado Museum with an official art restorer's daughter as if you were VIP member, without bookings or waiting queues. I grew up between the masterpieces and so I'm very sensitive with art. As a Historian I can show you the most anecdotic parts of the story behind the masterpieces in this building. Visit will take us 2h long. We'll also drive around with a private driver and my very special point of view, so you can really understand the history of the city during XVII-XVIII century, and the life of the bourgeois, to get some advices and make the most of your time here. This drive is the perfect introduction to Madrid and will make you move around like a local for the rest of your days in the city. Before a guide I am a traveler: I have traveled the world for 5 years, I have lived in 6 different countries and visited 120 of them. I believe this makes me stand out from other guides because I can put myself in your shoes!
After picking you up from your hotel, we'll drive and enjoy some of the following attractions: The Prado Art Walk, We'll pass by wonderful Cibeles and Neptune Fountain, Congress Palace, We'll enter Jeronimous Church, the old cathedral of Madrid, but keep in mind this is subject to open hours. Depending on you and what you'd like to do, we can always walk through Retiro Park or just take a drive through it as well. From the car we will get to see: The emblematic Puerta de Alcalá, The City Hall, The Linares Palace and the Thyssen. Many other buildings can be seeing from the car, such as the National Bank for example. This itinerary can be customized to suit your preferences so do not hesitate to message me so we can work out an itinerary together.
