Welcome to all, I am native from Madrid, born in Manresa, family from Asturias, northern Spain and raised in Madrid, since early age I was interested in the arts and history of my city and my country. As time went by I started specializing in the culture of my beloved Madrid where I have been guiding for almost 10 years now! I have special interest in nineteenth century history and Spanish art and I am a great fan of Francisco de Goya, one of the masters one can find in Madrid. As a professional and as the local who grew up in Madrid, I can vouch that neither as an art center no as a social hot spot Madrid would ever let you down. Here you will encounter genuine people and a life of smiles that goes well with tapas and wine. I welcome you all to join me on a walk of the city where we could get the feeling of those people, of the city, the arts and history. As a guide I really care to accommodate to the needs of visitors, I enjoy making your experience entertaining never leaving professionalism aside. My priority is to ensure that people get the most out of their tour and that they get to understand Madrid and end up loving it. What is Madrid for me? It is a way of life, is its streets, is happiness, Madrid is myself! What can you take home from Madrid? You will take from Madrid great memories, amazing flavors, you will get and unforgettable experience and in the end Madrid will take your heart! -Bachelor Degree in Art History from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid -Started doctorate courses in U.A.M of which I finalize two years, main subject is Death Penalty in the figurative art of the Ninnetenth Century in Spain. Doctorate is as for now on hold, to be continued.... -More than 16 years experience as a guide -Official Licenced Guide of Madrid and Aragón -Official Guide of National Heritage -Licensed on Toledo's Cathedral and Toledo Monumental sights

Overview of your Madrid tour

We will be doing a gentle walk around the main sites of the city so this way you can have an idea about Madrid, from its Muslim origins to nowadays when the tapas are the day to day activity in the city. Historical background of Madrid is enormous and its vibe is unique, so mixing both history and social life is the best way to start getting and overview of this wonderful blue sky Villa that Madrid is. Let me be your private guide in this relaxing four hours private tour, and when we are done please let me buy you a wine, beer or refreshment to finish with the real authentic Madrid experience. As a Guide I have a very personal easy way, flexible in every aspect, plus my years of experience and my social character will get you closer, to the locals around, and this will be an immersive unique experience that not many can achieve. Welcome to Madrid!

Walking with Enrique was great. He really knows alot about history and general culture. Added a trip to the Palacio Real, where he also did a detailed explination of everything. We has very patient with our kids, trying to interact with them to keep them interested. Just tell him what you want o need and he will adjust the tour to you. Recomended.

We had an AMAZING time with Enrique > his walking tour is really something special. It was our first time in Madrid and combined with peak tourist season, it was crowded. Having the opportunity to see Madrid up-close and personal with Enrique was truly something special we will remember for a long time and we learned so much we would not have otherwise had the chance to see and learn. We HIGHLY recommend Enrique - you will not be disappointed.

Enrique was a fantastic guide. It is clear by his enthusiasm and knowledge that he loves his city. Enrique picked us up at our apartment and tailored part of our tour to the neighborhood we are staying in. He has an incredible depth of knowledge about his subject and practical suggestions for where to eat and drink. I would highly recommend a tour by Enrique!

Enrique has a passion about Madrid that is evident as soon as you meet him. He really conveys this to his clients. His knowledge about the history of the city is deep and he seems to want to know more so he can relate it to his clients. We really appreciated his pace and the fact that he took us to a wide variety of locations.
