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.

After the steps of the Royal Family of Spain
Overview of your Madrid tour
We'll get to know the main facts about the Spanish Royal Family. The Prado Museum is their family photo album, and in a very entertaining way, we will learn about the main royal dynasties that have ruled in Spain. Without forgetting the artistic point of view, a great part of the collection was theirs until the 19th century and mirrors their likes and preferences, thus their personality. On the other side of the Old City, we'll visit in person their last residence, the Royal Palace, a fantastic experience which will complete all the knowledge acquired in the Prado Museum. Max. 7 participants. Larger parties ask for conditions. There is only one BUT, as the Royal Palace is not just a Museum but is also a Government building, its closing is sometimes announced last-minute and Plan B is needed, either the Gallery of Royal Collections or the Cathedral Church roof-top, museum, and views. Both nearby.
Your Madrid tour itinerary
- Royal Palace tour - 15' Break at the Royal Palace - Taxi to Prado Museum - Prado Museum tour - End of tour The order of the places to be visited might change depending on context. If you wish a different start time than the ones published, please message me. IMPORTANT After booking, Prado museum and Royal Palace tickets must be bought online asap. Since March 2025, it has become very difficult to buy them last minute during the high season because of internal changes at the museum. Make sure you ask me for the RIGHT website link for booking them.
