Hola, welcome to Madrid! My name is Mariluz and I am a fully licensed professional guide of Madrid, Toledo, Avila and Segovia. I am graduated in Tourism (University of Zaragoza) and an expert of Spanish History and Art. I am also graduated in Economics (University of Zaragoza) and in Foreign Languages at the University of Poitiers, France. After some years travelling within Europe guiding groups from Spain and America, I decided to become Local Guide of Madrid, the city that adopted me more than 26 years ago! I love Madrid. It is a very interesting city and very open to everyone. Very soon, you feel you are part of it. I have been working as a Local Guide since 2. 001. I guide in all the most important museums in Madrid and I have the License to guide inside all the Monuments that are part of the National Trust or Heritage (Patrimonio Nacional), like the Royal Palace in Madrid. I feel happy : I love my job. It is my passion. I find it very interesting to share our History, Architecture, culture and even our cuisine recipes with travelers from all around the world. I have provided tours to so many different people! . . some of them even famous actors from Hollywood, like Morgan Freeman, Robert Downey Jr or Patrick Stewart. In short, if you love History, Art, Culture, and Food, then be sure that Madrid will not dissapoint you. I will be here waiting for you!!

Overview of your Madrid tour
This is a nice combination of a private tour. We will start by having an interesting stroll in Retiro Park, (like the Kings in the old times!): at present, the most famous park in Madrid. I usually go for a walk in the park when I do not work, as it is near my home and I love it! You'll discover charming corners at the same time we will talk about the King and Queen's life in the past. We will continue by visiting the Prado Museum, the Paradise for painting lovers! It is considered the first picture gallery of classical paintings in the world. The kings of Spain commissioned and paid to the most important painters in Europe to collect these masterpieces: VELAZQUEZ, GOYA, EL GRECO, RUBENS, TITIAN, BOSCH . . . and many other famous painters. If you choose me as your guide, I will make sure to make those paintings to come alive for you! Royal Nature and art paintings sounds like a plan? Join me for a memorable experience:)
