¡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 going to spend just one day in Madrid? Do you wish to see all its main attractions? Join me and I'll take you to the right places! We'll start visiting the biggest palace in western Europe. The Royal Palace is the official residence of the royal family. Placed on a hill, it occupies a corner of Madrid steeped in history: Magerit (old name for Madrid) was founded there. I love history and my study of it never ends. Then, we'll wander along the charming narrow streets of the old city, the most traditional area in Madrid. We'll cross the emblematic Puerta del Sol (the city's heart), one of the most famous squares, social meeting point for us, the "madrileños": I can't wait to show you my home city! In the end we'll finish the tour at the Prado Museum, one of the best art galleries in the world. Allow me to share with you my passion for paintings! We'll concentrate on the masterpieces. I'll make sure that you will want to come back! I'll be happy to spend the day with you!

Leonor was the perfect guide for me! She showed me the "masterpieces" of the Prado with wonderfully detailed descriptions. The walks through Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor with her descriptions and history were great in spite of the 100+ degree heat! She took us to an authentic restaurant for lunch that was air conditioned. I highly recommend Leonor for anyone who wants an overview of the important parts of Madrid and would use her services again.

Leonora was a wonderful and very personable guide. She was extremely conscientious about insuring we had the correct tickets and meeting places. Her knowledge of the history of Spain and Madrid was extensive. Our time in the Prado was perfect not just seeing the highlights but with her in depth knowledge of the paintings. This tour is a fantastic way to explore the city Could not have been better

We had a wonderful tour with Leonor visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Prado Museum. I was impressed by the beauty and the magnificence of each of the rooms we visited in the Palace. The Prado Museum is very rich with all these great artists as Valasquez, Goya, El Greco and other great painters. This tour is a must. Leonor is a very knowledgeable, informative and guide. She is also very friendly and warm person. She explains clearly all questions. We highly recommend Leonor to everyone.

Leonor is a terrific guide! We had a great time in our 7 hour tour that included Royal Palace, walking through the history of Madrid on our walking tour, lunch at a nice restaurant that Leonor picked to accommodate vegetarian options, and finally the Prado museum. She is very knowledgeable on all matters Madrid, and was especially knowledgeable and showed us the highlights of the Prado museum with very interesting facts about the artwork and different ages of art & gave us great recs to do on our own.

Leonor was an excellent guide. She was easy to communicate with prior to touring and willing to accommodate a change to our tour to see other things. Leonor was very informative and answered questions readily. She was easy to understand because she is fluent in English. Her walking pace is just right. Loved her choice for our lunch break. We enjoyed our time with her and would recommend her if you are touring Madrid.
