¡Hola! I'm a 38 year old Belgian historian living in Madrid. I came here for love and on top of that I ended up adoring my new city. I am a very social person so I wanted to share my love for the city with other people. I like cultural activities as going to the movies, theatre and visiting museums, I practice a lot of sports (I love snowboarding, surfing, cycling and triathlon) and I have a passion for languages, books and music. After my Master Studies in History, I started working in development work. I managed projects in Philippines, South Africa and Burundi. My first contact with the tourism business was when I decided to combine my passion for snowboarding with my passion for people. So I became a guide for tour operators in the French Alpes for two winter seasons. Later, I also lived in Istanbul where I worked as a tour guide for a biking company. When I arrived in Madrid and I loved the city so much, I decided to continue my work as a city guide. I adore showing people around and telling stories about my precious hometown so much that my friends even call me Guide Madrid Caroline. I would also love to show you around this wonderful city. I can guide you to the best museums, historical buildings, parks, scenic points or nice places and streets. I assure you a unique and authentic experience off the beaten path and into the hidden treasures and secrets of the city. I can be flexible with your agenda and fulfill any specific interests you may have. Let me know your preferences and schedule and I will come up with an itinerary that suits your requirements and personal profile. With me, you and Madrid will fall in love at first sight! Looking forward to meet you soon, Caroline - Master's Degree in History - Official licensed guide - Bachelor Degree in Nursing - Emergency Medical Responder (10 years of experience as a lifeguard, firefighter and emergency nurse)

Overview of your Madrid tour

Like Central Park in New York, Retiro park is the green oasis in the heart of Madrid. This iconic city park covers over 125 hectares and has more than 15000 trees. Formerly the old royal gardens, there are a lot of historical gems to discover: palaces, an old zoo converted in a library, a big lake, a rose garden, a peacock garden and even a statue of the devil! Nowadays Parque del Buen Retiro is the most popular park of Madrid where Madrilenian families enjoy a weekend stroll along the big avenues, a picnic on the grass fields or a birthday party next to the lake. During your visit you'll be animated by street musicians, sidewalk painters, fortune tellers, jugglers and street performers. Do as we locals do and enjoy your time in this Madrid's fabulous park! This tour is family friendly, can be perfectly adapted to kids of all ages.

Your Madrid tour itinerary

We'll meet at the entrance of Retiro Park at the gate of Alcalá. I'll show you the lake with its big monument for one of the latest kings of Spain, the different palaces, beautiful hidden gardens, an old zoo with cages used as a library now, we'll be able to seduce peacocks to open their plumage and we'll even see the only public statue of the devil in Europe! If kids join the tour, the tour will be adapted to them. There are enormously a lot of fun things to do and see in the park for kids: crazy playgrounds, boats, waterfalls and animals as peacocks, turtles and black swans among other things.
