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

Join me in this essential tour in Madrid. You'll learn about the origins of the city and experience the most "castizo" or genuine sector of Madrid. Full of narrow streets and very peculiar and unique places. We'll be walking and guided by a real madrileña. Spain was in the 16th century the most powerful country in the world. And Madrid became its capital in 1561. I'll start by guiding you at the Royal Palace, a must in Madrid. It is very well preserved and I'll explain about how was the Kings' life and point out the highlights of its decoration. The Royal Palace is still used by the Royal Family at present. We'll see the Throne Room, the Gala Dining Room, the protocole rooms feeling as "royals' ourselves just for a moment. Soon after this visit, we'll discover the beautiful places of the old district, my Madrid favourite spot: love to feel calm away from the crowded street. I 'll show you the famous and the hidden gems: you'll be back home knowing every special inch of my city!
