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
If you are the kind of person that likes to know everything about a city and does not want to miss anything, this tour is made specially for you!!! Discover the city from the tourist places to the genuine Madrid from the eyes of a real "madrileño" (as I am a real local guide). What I love the most about this experience is to be able to show a whole view of the main city attractions, because this tour is long enough to understand everything about the origin and richness of the spanish capital city. In 7. 5 hours, we will be able to visit "The Madrid of the Habsburgs" and "The Madrid of the Bourbons", including the visit to the Royal Palace!! You will enjoy the history of my hometown, from the Arab wall of the IXth Century to the Bourbons area of the XVIIIth Century and some interesting anecdotes and legends that will make you love Madrid and to become an expert in the city!!!

Wonderful day! Several in our group had Madrid tours recently, but when we came together we decided to do an all day tour with Luis David to hit all the hot spots for everyone. Hands down the BEST tour we have had in our travels here in Spain. His depth of knowledge brings all the history, beautiful buildings and neighborhoods together magically. His command of the English language is spot on, and his accent and voice are so easy to understand and listen to. Highly recommend!
Keith L.United States

He was an excellent, professional, and enthusiastic guide for our full day of touring Madrid. He is Extremely knowledgeable on the layout and history of this beautiful city. He came prepared with literature to help us understand the complexity of Madrid's history. I would highly recommend him to all.
