My name is Sara. I am licensed guide in Madrid and the sorrounding areas. I hold a masters degree in Fine Arts and since I can remember art, languages, culture and history have been passions. I spent my college years in Madrid. Later I developed a career as an Art Educator and I had brief but fulfilling experiences in Tourism and Outreach. Ultimately, my nomadic spirit pushed me to live and work in other places. Italy, the Basque Country, and the USA were part of this fascinating journey. I returned to Madrid in 2019 after 10 years outside with a renewed appreciation and love for my place. I started guiding in 2016. Immediately I knew I was made for it. Today I feel so blessed to have been able to transform my passion for travel and knowledge into a way of living! Facilitating the discovery and enjoyment of my country to others is a real privilege. Madrid has so much to offer and is full of contrasts. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis, but some neighborhoods still preserve the atmosphere of a little quaint town. Its architecture and museums are incredible, its cultural and entertainment options seem endless and its surrounding areas are magnificent. But what makes Madrid really fascinating is its vibrant energy and its way of life. Let me help you to make the most of your stay, sharing the history, art, traditions, gastronomy, and vitality of my land with you. Let me show you how we are, and why this place is so special. I am looking forward to meeting you here and showing you around. I can offer you a private and customized experience that suits your needs, so don't hesitate to ask me about any modifications in my listed tours. I am also more than happy to work for families, offering a fun and educational experience for the young ones too! I am an Official Spanish Guide able to guide in all the National Museums and National Heritage sites. I can organize tours in all the museums, palaces, and districts of the capital. I hold an Official Guide License to guide Toledo's monuments. I can also guide in all Madrid's fascinating surrounding sites like Segovia, Escorial, Aranjuez, and many more. Although I can drive, I prefer to focus on my guide functions, but I can arrange for a car and professional driver.

Overview of your Madrid tour

Just a short ride away from Madrid is Toledo, one of the best-preserved cities in Spain! The citadel of Toledo is located on a craggy hill surrounded by the Tagus river. Visiting this intact gem is the perfect plan to discover Spanish History. Romans, Visigoths and Arabs all left their mark in the city, and the Sephardi Jews made Toledo their cultural center, establishing fruitful connections with both Christians and Muslims. Inside the ancient city walls and among its cobblestone streets lies the astonishing legacy of these three cultures combined. Delve into History and learn about Spanish Jewish traditions. We will visit impressive synagogues, a magnificent cathedral, masterpieces of El Greco, roman sites, an imperial castle. . . . , and will taste the delicious Toledan marzipan.
