Let me introduce myself. My name is Susana and I've been guiding in Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, and Avila for over twenty years now as a full-time activity, and. . . . here I am, still on stage. I am happy to say that I have done over 500 tours only with ToursByLocals during the last 9 years. This hasn't been my only job ever, I have been teaching languages since. . . always, as this is the family business, and I got to know the tourism industry since I was very young as it was my early passion. Hotels, airlines, tour director. . . All these experiences have made me a very versatile person, which helps a lot with my actual activity. For six years I have been the Chairman of the Madrid Tourist Guide Association, which shows my compromise with and faith in this profession which I find absolutely wonderful, as it is so to be able to share with my guests, my friends, all the magnificent heritage that surrounds me. I find so much satisfaction in seeing how you are delighted with your holiday choice that it encourages me, even more, to make more and more research to share it all with you. I have fun doing what I do as a living and that is the reason why you will have fun too. Who says that museums or history are boring? Our museums in Madrid hide so many treasures that you will long to come back as soon as possible to continue getting to know them. . . with me!? That would be fantastic.

Overview of your Madrid tour

This tour has been designed for those of you that have a very clear idea of what to visit in Madrid, and your ideas don't fit in any of the pre-conceived tours I offer. You tell me what you want and I'll fit it in the time given. This experience is for a 4-hour-long tour, if you want a different duration just let me know and it will be set. If you give a look at the section "Itinerary", I have written there several suggestions that might be appealing to you such as the Riverside and Bridges of Madrid, Literary District, Off the Track, the not-so-monumental Old City, an evening stroll with sunset and tapas…whatever. You might want to combine the tour with a van/bus for your party. . . A LA CARTE. Larger parties are welcome! If there is a large party inform me before booking, and please, in any case, DON'T buy museum tickets before asking me. Each museum has a different policy for guided tours and special tickets are needed.

Susana seemed to have excellent knowledge on every topic imaginable. We relied on her guidance as we didn't have the entire day planned and we figured it out as we went. Her knowledge helped out tremendously as we figured out what to do next. In addition her contacts with different merchants and restaurants wherever we were helped make the trip very enjoyable. Finally she saved the day when we need to reschedule a dinner at a Flamenco restaurant and even got us front row seats! Thank you very much Susana

We had a wonderful day with Susana as our tour guide in Madrid. She provided context and background as she took us through the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum. Her depth of knowledge was obvious, and her ability to keep 5 boys ages 7-15 engaged really made her stand out! I highly recommend Susana. You will get exponentially more out of your excursion with her by your side.

The four of us truly enjoyed Susana V. and the tour she provided 7/21 and 7/22/23 in Madrid. Her knowledge of the city and especially the wonderful paintings in the Prado is superb. She could easily teach an advanced course on The History of Spanish Art. Please use her as a guide in Madrid. You will be happy that you did!

Our tour with Susana was simply fabulous. She had a great plan for our Madrid tour but also customized the time to our own needs and interests. Incredibly knowledgeable and obviously experienced, she packed our time with great spots, gave us a detailed historical overview, and even provided "insider" tips for the rest of our stay on our own. Anyone would be lucky to have her as guide and teacher. Thank you Susana!

Your Madrid tour itinerary

In order to give you some ideas, we could choose between: - Historical quarters of Madrid, focusing on the origins of the city. - Off-the-track districts, not so much visited by tourists and more by locals, mainly north of Gran Vía, from Royal Monasteries to Military Barracks through Charity institutions in newly recovered districts from Madrid. - The Literary District of Madrid, the origins of theatre, and where some of the most important international books were printed in the 17th century. - Any ONE museum you choose, which is not published in my other tours, PLUS walking tour. - A walk along the river - Evening stroll along the western ridge of the city with sunset, tapas and wine… . or a mixture of the above. Name it
