Hola, welcome to Madrid! My name is Mariluz and I am a fully licensed professional guide of Madrid, Toledo, Avila and Segovia. I am graduated in Tourism (University of Zaragoza) and an expert of Spanish History and Art. I am also graduated in Economics (University of Zaragoza) and in Foreign Languages at the University of Poitiers, France. After some years travelling within Europe guiding groups from Spain and America, I decided to become Local Guide of Madrid, the city that adopted me more than 26 years ago! I love Madrid. It is a very interesting city and very open to everyone. Very soon, you feel you are part of it. I have been working as a Local Guide since 2. 001. I guide in all the most important museums in Madrid and I have the License to guide inside all the Monuments that are part of the National Trust or Heritage (Patrimonio Nacional), like the Royal Palace in Madrid. I feel happy : I love my job. It is my passion. I find it very interesting to share our History, Architecture, culture and even our cuisine recipes with travelers from all around the world. I have provided tours to so many different people! . . some of them even famous actors from Hollywood, like Morgan Freeman, Robert Downey Jr or Patrick Stewart. In short, if you love History, Art, Culture, and Food, then be sure that Madrid will not dissapoint you. I will be here waiting for you!!

First time in Madrid? So, this should be your first tour!! You will see the highlights of Madrid in 4 hours. Starting with a panoramic tour with our private vehicle, you will discover the different neighbourhoods of the city : Salamanca Sector with the beautiful architecture of the XIX century and the international boutiques, Paseo de la Castellana and the state buildings, the beautiful fountains of the XVIII century decorating Prado Promenade and the museums, the bull fight ring, Gran Via street, Cibeles Square, Alcala Gate. . . After this general overview of the city, we will explore by walking the beautiful places of my favourite spot, the oldest town: the charming Plaza de Oriente, with the Royal Palace, the Cathedral, Plaza de la Villa, Plaza Mayor, and the Market of San Miguel. This is a perfect place where you can enjoy some tapas or a nice meal after my tour and explore the madrileño way of socializing! Let me explain to you my city and give you the tips you need to experience the city as a local
I engaged Mariluz for a 4 hour tour of Madrid. She was truly outstanding. I felt like I hired a friend for the day. She was very nice, personable, professional and so accommodating. Her knowledge of the history of Spain and its architecture was incomparable. She is clearly passionate about the landmarks she showed us and goes above and beyond to gain and share her knowledge of them. I would definitely request Mariluz again.
Mariluz is a superb private guide and a delightful person. She worked with us to plan a 2 day private tour of Madrid that not only included all of the "must-see" sights in Madrid but also added some hidden treasures that first time visitors to Madrid would overlook. For 2 days she knew when we were tired and needed a break and she showed us some great restaurants off the "beaten path". Our tour was like having a good friend show us around her hometown not like having a paid guide. You can't go wrong her
Mariluz was the perfect tour guide and was a key ingredient to make our family trip to Madrid an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to book two different tours with her, which proved to be the best way to get to know the city in a few days. Her comments during our visit to the Prado Museum allowed us to enjoy the artwork even more. She went out of her way to accommodate all our needs. She is knowledgeable, engaging, and graceful. We highly recommend her! Thank you for showing us your wonderful city!
Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about art and art history!
We rate our tour guide Mariluz G 5 stars out of 5. Mariluz was extremely knowledgeable and gave us suggestions and information that greatly improved our experience in Madrid.
Mariluz was fantastic on our tour! She was a few minutes early to pick us up and she did not rush us at all during the tour. She was full of historical knowledge that added a lot to the sites we visited. I am very pleased with the experience and would recommend Mariluz to anyone that finds themselves in or around Madrid.
