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.

The city of Madrid now forms part of UNESCO's World Heritage list. Following Spain's submission in 2019 of its nomination 'Paseo del Prado and El Retiro Park, Landscape of Arts and Science, UNESCO has now granted world heritage status to Madrid's Paseo del Prado and El Retiro Park. In this extraordinary site that boasts "outstanding universal value" culture, science and nature have coalesced since the mid-16th century. The Landscape of Light is the first site in the city of Madrid to have been granted World Heritage status, and the fifth in the Region of Madrid, ask me about the other four! After the walk, we'll visit one of the most important art collections in the world, the Prado Museum, with your skip-the-line tickets. This is a great tour, I just love walking through Retiro Park, always nice, quiet from Monday to Friday, very lively on weekends, where many Madrid citizens go to spend the day, any time of the year. You'll love the Cristal Palace and the wonderful lake. Join me
The Prado is known as one of the best art museums in the world, but you can make your experience visiting it even better with this half day tour including the Retiro Park. Susana makes the tour very special with her vast knowledge of the history of the area, museum and art pieces within the Prado. Don't just visit the museum, make this a day to remember with a stroll of the neighborhood and art history tour!
Such a great tour! We were able to see the Prado at a much deeper level and El Retiro Park can't be missed. Susana also really went the extra mile with our family to make sure that we had a great experience our whole trip in Spain. She elevated our entire holiday experience by allowing us to have a deeper understanding of the country and its history and by letting us in on local secrets.
Susana gave us wonderful tour of Madrid's major cultural sites along with a detailed explanation of its history and how modern Spain came to be. She is pleasant, has a good sense of humor and kept us both entertained and taught us a great deal about every part of town that we visited. Great tour!
