I dedicate my life to tourism and cultural trips. I am a passionate person of my city and I enjoy teaching it to people who want to know. I have been lucky enough to be able to travel around the world and I like that people in my tours feel comfortable and not as a tourist, that is hospitality.

I am serious and fun when I have to be, but for me the most important thing for me is that you enjoy your time and your vacations in my city. You can trust me for everything you need. I am a young and modern person. I love being able to show my city to people who do not know it and I enjoy teaching the lesser known places of Madrid that even many locals do not know. I am passionate about art, culture, travel and architecture. I like to read, animals and watch movies. I am an open-minded, gay-friendly person and one you can trust. Besides discovering with me many places, anecdotes and interesting facts, I will inform you about places where you can eat, have fun, dance . . . I present to you why Madrid is so special. Come with me! Experience as a tour guide since 2007. Art History Degree at UCM University of Madrid. Academic year of specialization about Italian art at Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italy).

Overview of your Madrid tour

I have a degree in Art History and the Prado Museum has no secrets for me. In addition, I also studied at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, so I will also teach you the best of the greatest Italian masters. On the other hand, I am passionate about other European schools (Flemish school, Spanish school, German school . . . ) so I will show you the best of each one and you can ask me what you want. For 2, 5 hours we'll admire a special selection of masterpieces in the best gallery in the world, in detail I will explain the historical context of the painting, the meaning and the techniques used. We will see not only the most important masterpieces in the Prado, but also some of my favorite and less-known pieces. The Prado Museum is the best gallery in the world and there are only masterpieces within its walls. Do not miss it out: is just impressive! ** Important Note: Museum's tickets not included. **
