Hi! My name is Luis David, and I was born in Madrid, the city I love. Since I was a child, I have always been interested in learning more about the Spanish capital, because I think that the history and the art of our city are amazing! That is why I decided to study the Degree in Tourism, and when I finished it, I studied the high-level Technical Degree in Tour Guide, where I learnt more about the culture from Madrid. Nowadays, I am a fully licensed professional guide, and I love my job more than anything: I can not only show my beautiful city, but also meet amazing people from all around the world. I love explaining museums such as Prado Museum (I am a big fan of Velázquez), and all the "must see" spots in Madrid… but I also enjoy showing the secret places of my city, those places that not everybody knows. Anecdotes, legends… and everything you need to know about our city, also about the gastronomy and the Tapas culture of this town! Contact me and book an unforgettable experience. See you soon! -Official Guide License in Spain -Degree of Tourist Guide (College of Tourism and Gastronomy. Madrid) -Tourism Degree (Rey Juan Carlos University, Fuenlabrada - Madrid) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Madrid tour

Join me in this tour and let me show you the most beautiful part of Madrid! Besides the fact I am a real "madrileño", I am an official guide because I love showing my city.

David met us at our hotel and was punctual. He delivered a great walking tour and was both enthusiastic, polite and provided great information. David was great at answering questions along the way and pointing out little details that a normal person would miss.

David is an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a gentle disposition about him that made asking any questions very easy. We walked nearly 3 hours and at every moment he had interesting information about each place we were passing. We both appreciated the way he would repeat key information about the timeline and rulers so that we could appreciate and understand the places we were visiting. He took several great photos along the way and gave lots of great travel tips about Madrid. At the end of the tour he even helped us get the correct metro cards and saved us the hassle of taking a local train inadvertently when Apple Maps gave us bad information that would have cost us a lot of time. He's a great guide and we both felt lucky to have had him accompany us throughout old Madrid.

I did the 4 hour private walking tour with David and I would highly recommend him as a local tour guide. He turned Madrid into one big living museum and answered all my queries. Thanks David for a remarkable experience. Bami

Several hours with Luis David provided the perfect introduction to Madrid. He is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. David pointed out things that aren't in the guide books and his insights added to the great experience.

Brilliant launch pad for understanding Madrid - this was our first time and we hadn't done nearly enough homework before our arrival. No matter. David gave us a concise but intelligent reprise and was super flexible about responding to our interests. He is a completely different species from this boring, monotone, by rote guides we passed during the morning. Highly recommended
