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.

During this tour, I will take you to the places we usually visit with our family and friends after work. Not the usual touristy places, but where locals love to be. All the places are ancient taverns full of history and real traditional atmosphere. You will have the chance to taste local beer or wine, and different local products, while you learn the history of the town with a historian oficial guide. The area we are walking through is the oldest in town so we will always have interesting things to comment while eating. Having visited 120 countries, I am a traveler myself. I believe this makes me stand out from any of other guides, because I understand what you need. I used to hate tours because they made me waste my time and money, so I have decided to change that and be part of the solution.
After meeting at the agreed location, we'll cover the following places: We will Pass by the Royal Palace, Walk in the Cathedral, Then we have the first stop for the first tapas and drinks! After that we will head to Plaza Mayor where we can make another tapas stop inside beautiful San Miguel Market. On the way to Puerta del Sol we will make the third stop still in the Habsbourg quarter. * This tour can be customized upon request, feel free to message me.
