¡Hola chicos y chicas! ¡Señoras y señores! My name is Yuliia, and I'm a guide madly in love with Spain. When I'm not writing a book or pounding the pavement, I'm almost a certified skydiver! In my spare time, you'll find me hiking through mountains or catching waves. I've even walked the Camino de Santiago, and let me tell you, it's definitely worth repeating! I wasn't always a guide, and I didn't always live in Spain. As an international law lawyer from Ukraine, tourism was the furthest thing from my mind. But after years of globetrotting, I decided to make it my career in 2021. And let me tell you, Spain is a tourist's paradise! From its rich history and culture to its incredible food, this country has it all. My tours are never dull. Some of my favorites include the Classic Madrid tour and the Off-the-Beaten-Path Madrid, where we explore hidden gems like Salamanca, Chueca, Malasaña, Lavapiés, La Latina, and Las Letras. I also love the Royal Madrid tour, it's like stepping into a fairytale! Based in Madrid, I offer a wide range of tours, mostly in and around the city. Madrid has something for everyone: history buffs, foodies, art lovers, and even football fans. From stunning palaces and world-class museums to trendy neighborhoods and delicious tapas, this city will keep you entertained. And let's not forget the kids! There's plenty to keep them busy too. Let me help you craft a personalized itinerary that caters to your unique interests and preferences. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or an outdoor enthusiast, I'll curate a bespoke experience that will leave you with lasting memories. You're going to love Madrid. Trust me.

We start at San Miguel Market, then stroll through Lavapiés, a vibrant district with a local market. Next, we visit the literary Barrio de las Letras and its market, finishing in Chueca at a rooftop spot with city views. Along the way, I’ll share stories about Madrid’s food culture, neighborhood history, and social change. Important: Food and drinks are not included. You pay on-site for what you order, with complete freedom to choose what you like—no pressure or imposition.
