¡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 considering exploring Madrid? If you only have a few hours, this is the tour that you shouldn't miss. We'll have luxury and charm in one visit. Together, we'll see hidden gems that would go unnoticed if you would explore the city on your own. I'm passionate about my city and you'll be it too! We'll visit two of the must-see sites of Madrid. The amazing Royal Palace (the biggest in western Europe) is the official residence of the royal family. Nowadays it is used for states ceremonies. Placed on a hill, it occupies a corner of Madrid steeped in history: Magerit (old name for Madrid) was born there! After visiting the Palace, we'll go for a stroll in the old Madrid (Habsburgs' quarter). It is the most genuine, traditional and charming neighbourhood. It is full of squares like the popular Puerta del Sol, where we, the "madrileños", continue the tradition of eating 12 grapes every 31st of Dec to welcome the new year! In 1561 a small town became the capital of the empire where the sun never set. . .
Your Madrid tour itinerary
- Royal Palace (inside). Whenever official events take place at the Royal Palace, it will remain closed to visitors. I will let you know if that happens. In that case, I will give you other options. - Plaza de Oriente (Orient Square) - Plaza de la Villa (Villa Square): Old Town Hall - Mercado de San Miguel (St Miguel Market): gourmet "tapas" market - Plaza Mayor (Mayor Square): the most notable Habsburg construction - Puerta del Sol ( Sun Gate Square): km 0, bear and strawberry tree statue -symbol of Madrid- This is my suggestion but I can customize the tour for you, so do not hesitate to contact me if you have specific interests!
