¡Hola chicos y chicas! ¡Señoras y señores! My name is Yuliia, and I'm a guide madly in love with Spain. When I'm not writing a book or pounding the pavement, I'm almost a certified skydiver! In my spare time, you'll find me hiking through mountains or catching waves. I've even walked the Camino de Santiago, and let me tell you, it's definitely worth repeating! I wasn't always a guide, and I didn't always live in Spain. As an international law lawyer from Ukraine, tourism was the furthest thing from my mind. But after years of globetrotting, I decided to make it my career in 2021. And let me tell you, Spain is a tourist's paradise! From its rich history and culture to its incredible food, this country has it all. My tours are never dull. Some of my favorites include the Classic Madrid tour and the Off-the-Beaten-Path Madrid, where we explore hidden gems like Salamanca, Chueca, Malasaña, Lavapiés, La Latina, and Las Letras. I also love the Royal Madrid tour, it's like stepping into a fairytale! Based in Madrid, I offer a wide range of tours, mostly in and around the city. Madrid has something for everyone: history buffs, foodies, art lovers, and even football fans. From stunning palaces and world-class museums to trendy neighborhoods and delicious tapas, this city will keep you entertained. And let's not forget the kids! There's plenty to keep them busy too. Let me help you craft a personalized itinerary that caters to your unique interests and preferences. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or an outdoor enthusiast, I'll curate a bespoke experience that will leave you with lasting memories. You're going to love Madrid. Trust me.

Yuliia combines an impressive knowledge of Madrid with a genuine enthusiasm for sharing its history and culture. Her command of the language and familiarity with the city gave her explanations both clarity and depth. Rather than simply pointing out important landmarks, she brought them to life with interesting stories and cultural context that made the tour enjoyable from beginning to end. Warm, patient, and engaging, Yuliia made the experience memorable and thoroughly worthwhile.

This tour was fantastic. It gave us a background of the religious roots of Spain and Madrid, and where it came from politically (since it’s all related). We learned so much about how Madrid came to be. Yuliia was informative, interesting, and fun. All of our questions were addressed. If we pointed something out that we had a question about, she didn’t hesitate to make a detour to speak about it!! I would not hesitate to recommend this tour / Yuliia the tour guide to anyone. It’s a great introduction to Madrid since the religious side of things had a prominent part in the history of Spain and Madrid.

Was an excellent overview of the history of Madrid, with a lens of Jewish culture and then a trip to Prada. Yuliia was a wonderful host and guide filled with tremendous insight on so many topics.

This was a great tour. Yuliia was very knowledgeable and provided great insight into the history of Madrid and the Jewish people in Madrid and did an excellent job of weaving the two subject together. Yuliia was very personable, friendly and brought good energy on the tour!
