Hola, bienvenidos! Hi and welcome! My name is Marta and I'm licensed tour guide since 2002. I have a degree in History and Archaeology because they are my passions and in fact, I work also as an archaeologist. My other passion is travelling and from my own experience, what I really enjoy are unique experiences that make you feel as a local and provides you a dip in the place that you are visiting. Madrid is my hometown and where I live and as you'll see, it's a really enjoyable and open city. In Madrid you can find almost everything that you expect: Culture, Heritage, Gastronomy, Nature, Leisure, Shopping, Night life… Let me be your guide in Madrid and share with me it's unique lifestyle! In Madrid there are options for everyone depending on your personal preferences and I'll be really glad to accompany you. If you are staying in Madrid for a few days its surroundings are also a must, with UNESCO sites like Toledo, Segovia or Ávila. This cities are perfect for a daytrip from Madrid and it's also a very good way to visit and experience unique spots in Spain. And if it's not your first time in Madrid maybe you would like something different and out from the most popular tours like a visit to Madrid Mountains or a Winery tour. I'm looking forward to be your private guide in Madrid and I'll be happy to customize tours for larger groups or special interests, everything is possible… or almost! - Degree in History and Archaeology by Autonoma University of Madrid - Official Licensed Guide of Madrid.

An unforgettable walk in the city's history and daily life
Overview of your Madrid tour
This is the perfect option to visit the most traditional and characteristic part of Madrid. Madrid has a really broad and interesting past that goes from the Muslim times back in the 9th century up to nowadays. In this tour we will go through the most representative corners and spots of the city exploring its small and narrow streets, visiting Plaza Mayor, the Muslim walls, Opera Square or the heart of the city, Puerta del Sol. We will tour the old section for 3 h and meanwhile you will have the opportunity to experience its lifestyle and to get to know also about its culture, gastronomy, leisure, shopping etc. . . It's a great way to "feel" the city and to experience a local approach to it!

Most definitely recommend. As a native of Madrid, Marta shares her extensive knowledge of the city with enthusiasm. She tailored the tour to our interests and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.
Keith F.United States
This tour with Marta was excellent in every way. In just 3 short hours, we had a tremendous overview of the center of Madrid with its history, culture and customs. This was a perfect way to begin our visit as we were able to familiarize ourselves for the rest of our weeklong trip. We knew our way around and could revisit many of the places and recommended restaurants for a closer look. Marta is extremely personable, conversational, and quite knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend this tour!

Marta was a great guide! She was interesting, personable and very easy to deal with. We felt like we had an excellent overview of Madrid in our 3 hour tour. There was nothing we asked that she didn't have an in depth response to. She truly knows her city well and is more than willing to share that information. She also had great recommendations for us after the tour. Thanks again Marta!
