Vanessa was knowledgeable and personable. Her tour provided a perfect introduction to Madrid, which proved very helpful in the following days as I explored on my own :)

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!

Overview of your Madrid tour
The historical streets and squares of Madrid have a special charme at Sunset, with the night falling down, the lights changing and the monuments illuminated you feel transported to the past. It's a mystical atmosphere and more quiet than it is during the day! We'll see the Royal Palace, the Cathedral, the old streets of La latina with its traditional & modern taverns, the old City Hall, the 400 years old Plaza Mayor and we'll finish with a great view of the XIXth century Madrid at the Cibeles Fountain.

We were thrilled with her and wish we could have taken her with us for the rest of our stay in Madrid! Amazing guide! She was promptly on-time at our hotel. We felt welcomed and had a fantastic time with Vanessa.
Elizabeth W.United States
¡Vanessa was excelente! She tailored our tour to fit our needs and was very knowledgeable about the history of Spain, the city of Madrid, the art and architecture, and the metro. Since she is a Madrileña, she knows the city intimately. Since she has lived in other countries, she speaks many languages well. The tour for me was like going through the city with a trusted cousin who could show us her favorite places but also to make sure we felt comfortable enough to go out on our own. ¡Muchas gracias!
