Hi! This is Beatriz and I welcome you to Madrid, where I was born. I was raised between Madrid and Toledo and if you love history, arts, literature, and the best of life like I do, you can't miss these cities. If you read my credentials you'll see that I was a lawyer who left the court for living my real passion: art and travel. I have worked as a Tour leader in Spain and Europe for four years so I have proven experience in this field. The last few years, I have concentrated on working as a private guide in the beautiful cities of Madrid, Toledo, and Segovia. But every time I've got the chance I guide in Andalusia. My objective is to show you the essence and magic of my country, our legacy, traditions, history, gastronomy. . . We can travel in time in the narrow alleys of Toledo or maybe watch Goya paintings in the El Prado Museum. Just tell me what interests you, and I'll make it real for you. I love my job and I transmit that to the client. My biggest objective is that you don't forget that you have to have fun ; ) I'm waiting for you in Madrid! Official Guide license of Madrid nr. 836. Official Tour Guide License Cathedral of Toledo. Degree in Law - Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver on request.

Overview of your Madrid tour

This is an enjoyable tour to discover the best and the evolution of Spanish painting, not only a must-see list of artworks. My experience as a painter is really useful to show you this world. A 3:30 hours tour to discover the masterpieces and stories around the most famous museums in Madrid, located in the"El Prado" area, which recently has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site Reina Sofía Museum is dedicated to modern art and is the home of Pablo Picasso masterpiece's El Guernica, probably the XX century's most famous painting. At El Prado Museum we'll find paintings from middle age until Nineteen century with iconic pieces like The Majas or las Meninas.

If I could give Beatriz ten stars for this tour, I would. She was easy to communicate with from our first contact and throughout the tour. She was very responsive. Her energy level and enthusiasm were infectious. She accommodated our group and was sensitive to what we wanted from the tour. She really knows what she is talking about, and we learned a lot from her. She is one of the best tours guides I have ever worked with.

Beatriz was simply awesome! Very easy to meet in the beginning. She took the time to get to know my family of 6 before starting and really tailored the tour to our group, paying attention to our interest level. I’d been to the Prado before, but never seen it like this. Her skill at weaving the history into a story that was educative, yet compelling is phenomenal. And her passion, not only for the artwork but also about Madrid and Spain was contagious. We will definitely reach out to her when we come back!

This tour was fantastic. Beatrix was incredibly knowledgeable about the museums, the paintings and artists and art history. She pointed out many details I would have missed on my own and gave me a new appreciation of these artists and how they built off other past masters. She also had fun stories about the artist and is an utterly fascinating and charming person who knows the ins and outs and all the secrets of these museums. If only I could experience all the great museums in the world at her side. I can’t recommend her tour enough.

We had a wonderful morning visiting the Prado and Reina Sofía museums with Beatriz. I’ve long admired Diego Velázquez and had wanted to see Las Meninas for many years—Beatriz absolutely delivered, making the experience both engaging and memorable with her deep knowledge of his work. She also introduced us to other Spanish artists we wasn’t familiar with, and we came away with a much greater appreciation for the Spanish Masters. Her passion for Picasso, and her insight into Guernica, made viewing the painting all the more powerful and meaningful. There is so much to see in both museums, but Beatriz expertly guided us through the highlights, ensuring we experienced the most important works without feeling overwhelmed. We would highly recommend Beatriz to any art lover.
