Hola! My name is Lola, one of the most truly Spanish names, and so am I, totally Spanish. I was raised in Madrid, and I discovered the magic of this city since I was a child. Some of my first memories took place in Madrid, I remember to walk in the Retiro Park and think that The Glass Palace was a fairy palace. To visit the Prado Museum with my parents when I was the same age than the little princess of Las Meninas. There has been always something exciting in Madrid for me. When I grow up, I discovered many other countries and cities travelling around the world, but MY FIRST TRUE LOVE WAS MADRID. Later, when I went to the university, I decided to study what I really liked the most, History, and I did my specialization in Art History. I was also studying a Postgraduate in History abroad, in the University of Nottingham, England, that was one of the best experiences of my life. After finishing my degree, I started to work as a Tour Director all over the world. I spent 20 years travelling and working in many countries of Europe, Asia and USA, learning other cultures, and having exciting experiences, but … I was missing my hometown; I was missing Madrid. So, I decided to start working as a local guide in Madrid and make people like you, dear traveler, to discover the city through my eyes. I am a passionate storyteller and I love to inform and entertain always with historical rigor. My humanities background and my passion for history an art enable me to communicate information in a very inspiring way. My desire is to pass all this to you so you can have the greatest trip ever. I live in Madrid old city center, and I know our bars and taverns. On my tours you will feel like having a friend in Madrid showing you around the neighborhood and telling you how the real way of life of the "Madrilenians" is. I have the tour for you! Join me for a special adventure in Madrid by taking one of my tours. Let's experience Madrid's magic together!

Overview of your Madrid tour
Toledo is expecting you, so very close to Madrid, connected by high-speed train on a journey of around half an hour, so I invite you to join me for a visit to this marvelous city. Its historic quarter a UNESCO World Heritage Sites- still preserves its original medieval layout. Did you know that Toledo is known as "the city of three cultures"? It's a place where the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam "coexisted" for many centuries. We will do a time travel to the Middle Ages and discover the historical highlights and during our walk of Toledo, you will be amazed by its medieval architecture, from Cathedral, synagogues, mosques, and many, many more incredible buildings to be seen. I will take you to my favorite places through Toledo's labyrinth streets and you will see how the city has arrived almost intact to our days. One of the best things you can do in Toledo is to get lost on purpose in its narrow streets. Let's do it!
