Hi! My name is Luis David, and I was born in Madrid, the city I love. Since I was a child, I have always been interested in learning more about the Spanish capital, because I think that the history and the art of our city are amazing! That is why I decided to study the Degree in Tourism, and when I finished it, I studied the high-level Technical Degree in Tour Guide, where I learnt more about the culture from Madrid. Nowadays, I am a fully licensed professional guide, and I love my job more than anything: I can not only show my beautiful city, but also meet amazing people from all around the world. I love explaining museums such as Prado Museum (I am a big fan of Velázquez), and all the "must see" spots in Madrid… but I also enjoy showing the secret places of my city, those places that not everybody knows. Anecdotes, legends… and everything you need to know about our city, also about the gastronomy and the Tapas culture of this town! Contact me and book an unforgettable experience. See you soon! -Official Guide License in Spain -Degree of Tourist Guide (College of Tourism and Gastronomy. Madrid) -Tourism Degree (Rey Juan Carlos University, Fuenlabrada - Madrid) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Madrid tour
A tour at the Royal Palace is a must if you are considering visiting Madrid. Did you know that the Royal Palace of Madrid is bigger than the palaces of Versailles or Buckingham and one of the largest in the world? I was born in Madrid, where I am an official guide, and one of the main reasons I decided to become a tour guide was to be able to explain the history of the "Palacio Real" and to show my passion for it. We will visit the Grand Staircase, the Banqueting Hall, the Royal Chapel, the Crown Room. . . and I will tell you all the secrets about them!!

David let us know that the Palace was closed due to a holiday and easily worked with us so we could go. We met him at our easily assigned spot and walked to the Palace while learning history of Spain and the Palace while walking. David had great visuals that helped understand the history of Spain . We enjoyed all but thoroughly enjoyed seeing Stradivarius instruments and the small chapel. He was a wealth of knowledge and so easy to follow.

David truly made this tour go quickly because he made it so very interesting. He makes history come to life, bringing us back to its characters so expertly. We enjoyed this tour thoroughly, but also truly learned more than we expected to thanks to David's expertise. We recommend his services highly.

Luis was our first contact after landing in Spain, and he was a delight. Made a first day with jet lag a treat. Super knowledgeable on all things Spain and wonderful personality and great conversations.
Daniela P.Malta
Fantastic tour, extremely informative and well presented. Luis David is a very lovely person, very knowledgeable and professional. He also makes the whole tour very entertaining with some humorous facts, and was such a pleasurable morning. Highly recommend him and would definitely book him again on another tour.

This was a terrific tour! We spent 2 hours in the Royal Palace as a family group with a 16 and 12 year old. They were engaged the entire time. Luis David was very knowledgeable and gave a wonderfully informative and interesting tour. Highly recommend!!!
