Let me introduce myself. My name is Susana and I've been guiding in Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, and Avila for over twenty years now as a full-time activity, and. . . . here I am, still on stage. I am happy to say that I have done over 500 tours only with ToursByLocals during the last 9 years. This hasn't been my only job ever, I have been teaching languages since. . . always, as this is the family business, and I got to know the tourism industry since I was very young as it was my early passion. Hotels, airlines, tour director. . . All these experiences have made me a very versatile person, which helps a lot with my actual activity. For six years I have been the Chairman of the Madrid Tourist Guide Association, which shows my compromise with and faith in this profession which I find absolutely wonderful, as it is so to be able to share with my guests, my friends, all the magnificent heritage that surrounds me. I find so much satisfaction in seeing how you are delighted with your holiday choice that it encourages me, even more, to make more and more research to share it all with you. I have fun doing what I do as a living and that is the reason why you will have fun too. Who says that museums or history are boring? Our museums in Madrid hide so many treasures that you will long to come back as soon as possible to continue getting to know them. . . with me!? That would be fantastic.

Overview of your Madrid tour
Let's start our tour with the Royal Palace, where the history of Madrid begins, the second biggest in the world! We can see the different Royal Apartments with a luxurious collection of art, from Chinese porcelain to Moser cristal, French chandeliers and Italian sculptures from the XVII century, Flemish Gobelins from the XVI and Spanish silver. Better! look at the pictures I made. After that, we will know from the origins of Madrid to the XVIII century and after a small break, we will continue exploring the Old City of Madrid and its evolution from the XI century until it became the main headquarters of the Spanish Empire in the XVI. You will feel satisfied and as an expert by the end of the tour, and . . . . don't forget your camera! We can make many interesting pictures.
