I was born in Madrid in 1973, living all my life in this wonderful, magical and historical city. Degree in tourism and with more than 20 years of experience in taking care and guiding people, I will be focused on making your visit an amazing time to remember. History, traditions, art, gastronomy and many more. . . I'm ready to share a good time with you showing up the reality of my city and surroundings. I started out being a tour guide 20 years ago, since then I have travelled around the world, I have visited places on the 5 continents diving into the culture of exotic countries and I realized that being guided by a local is the way to explore by first hand a new city. I experienced by myself what everyone of us expects when being guided. I have been so many times a tourist like everyone else when travelling. Let me guide you through Madrid past, present and future. Language: English or Spanish. History & Art History Degree Tourism Bachelor Certified by County Goverment of Madrid as Official Local Guide.

Squeeze the best of the city in few hours: Royal Palace, Prado Museum and Tapas tasting in the historic quarter!
Overview of your Madrid tour
Step into the biggest and more exceptional Royal Palace of Europe commissioned by the most powerful Royal Dynasty in Europe: is the official residence of the Spanish royal family, although now used only for state ceremonies. The largest functioning royal palace: 135, 000 sq mt of floor space and contains 3, 418 rooms! With me you would skip the line to enter in one of the most visited spots in Madrid. No queues and going with a well prepared and funny guide is all you need to make this day glorious. Then we'll visit Prado Museum: I've guided in here thousands of times, and my eyes have discovered hidden messages that I'm going to share with you, so I can make you understand how magnificent minds created such master pieces. The museum contains the art pieces that Spanish Kings collected during centuries to beautify their Palace! Last but not least: be ready to taste tapas in two historical and carefully selected taverns of Madrid, places where I frecuently come with my friends and especial guest like you.
