Welcome to Madrid – and beyond! I’m Vanessa, and I’d love to help you discover Madrid in a truly authentic and unforgettable way. Not just the famous highlights, but the soul of the city — its hidden squares, lively terraces, historic taverns and the unique rhythm of Spanish life. Madrid is an exciting, vibrant and full of history, but just 60–70 minutes away by car you’ll find extraordinary cities such as Toledo, Segovia, El Escorial and Ávila. These places perfectly complement Madrid and tell the fascinating story of Spain over more than 2,000 years, shaped by Romans, Muslims, Jews and Christians. I’m a proud madrileña with Swiss roots and more than 10 years of experience as a professional guide. and several guiding awards (Best tours in Madrid in 2021 and 2025) I’ve lived in several European countries, but Madrid has always been my favorite city — and I love sharing its stories, culture and lifestyle with curious travelers. Together, we’ll explore Madrid’s history and legends, its Muslim origins, charming neighborhoods, world-class art museums, unique shops, traditional tapas and outstanding local wines. We can admire the city from special viewpoints, stroll through atmospheric streets and experience Madrid the way locals do. Outside Madrid, you’ll discover quieter, smaller cities with an incredibly rich and tangible past — places that once ruled Spain centuries before Madrid even existed. Forget about guidebooks, confusing maps and crowded routes. Let me design a personalized tour tailored to your interests, taking you off the beaten path to experience the real Spain. After the tour, I’ll also share my best local tips and recommendations so you can make the most of the rest of your stay. If there’s something specific you’d like to see — such as the Thyssen Museum, Retiro Park, Aranjuez or Lavapiés — just let me know. I’ll be happy to create a custom tour just for you. Unlike group tours, this is a 100% private Experience, adapted to your preferences, rhythm and curiosity. Ideal for travelers who value quality, authenticity and personal attention. Bienvenidos! I can’t wait to show you my city!
