¡Hola! Welcome to Madrid! My name is Leonor. I am a professional licensed tour guide who never gets bored exploring the city that I love. I was born in Madrid, but I grew up in Córdoba. I studied in Madrid: I got first the degree in Tourism, and some years later I got the degree in German Philology (UCM University Complutense in Madrid). I worked as a tour leader travelling with groups during five years, but then I realized that I wanted to live in Madrid and work in this fantastic city. Guiding individual clients/groups is my full time job, and I have worked as a local guide since 1999. I love art, history, meeting people from other countries and showing them my city. I like travelling very much and I appreciate how important a guide can be for visitors. My aim as your guide is to help you to have a pleasant and unforgettable time in Madrid. You will not get bored. Madrid is a fascinating city that has so many things to do, see, offer and explore. . . When you come, you will discover them!

Overview of your Madrid tour

Are you an art lover? If so, this is the right tour for you! Prado (name of the most outstanding painting gallery in Spain) means "meadow". El Prado used to be an area of orchards and meadows to go for a stroll, and today is an Art Walk. Retiro (name of the most famous park in Madrid) means "retreat". In the past this park was the private garden of the palace where the Spanish kings retired to rest. Just like other big European museums (Louvre, Uffizi), the Prado has its origin in the hobby of collecting that the Spanish kings have had along the centuries. In the most important painting, there is a young Spanish princess waiting for you to know about her sad story. After Prado, we will head for the historical park. It's the city's lung. It belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until 1868, when it became a public park. It is one of my favourite spots in the city. It reminds me of my childhood because my parents used to take me here to watch the animals when the zoo was located inside the park!

ur tour of the Prado Museum and Retiro Park in Madrid with Lenor was an unforgettable experience. She brought the art to life in a way that even the non-art lovers in our group found exciting and engaging. Lenor had a remarkable ability to adapt her tour to suit the interests of our young adults, helping them connect with the culture and history of Madrid in a way that truly resonated. Her warmth and enthusiasm made the experience feel personal and meaningful. We even ran into her later at another location, and she went out of her way to greet each of us with a smile. Lenor’s passion and thoughtful approach made this tour a highlight of our time in Madrid. Highly recommended!

Leonor was excellent. She was very knowledgeable of the history, culture and key features of so many works of art. In addition, she was extremely professional and easy to engage in conversation as we toured the museum and park. She was punctual and made everyone in our group feel engaged and welcome. Highly recommended tour and guide!
