Hola, welcome to Madrid! My name is Mariluz and I am a fully licensed professional guide of Madrid, Toledo, Avila and Segovia. I am graduated in Tourism (University of Zaragoza) and an expert of Spanish History and Art. I am also graduated in Economics (University of Zaragoza) and in Foreign Languages at the University of Poitiers, France. After some years travelling within Europe guiding groups from Spain and America, I decided to become Local Guide of Madrid, the city that adopted me more than 26 years ago! I love Madrid. It is a very interesting city and very open to everyone. Very soon, you feel you are part of it. I have been working as a Local Guide since 2. 001. I guide in all the most important museums in Madrid and I have the License to guide inside all the Monuments that are part of the National Trust or Heritage (Patrimonio Nacional), like the Royal Palace in Madrid. I feel happy : I love my job. It is my passion. I find it very interesting to share our History, Architecture, culture and even our cuisine recipes with travelers from all around the world. I have provided tours to so many different people! . . some of them even famous actors from Hollywood, like Morgan Freeman, Robert Downey Jr or Patrick Stewart. In short, if you love History, Art, Culture, and Food, then be sure that Madrid will not dissapoint you. I will be here waiting for you!!

Toledo old town was declared by Unesco a " World Heritage Site" in 1986. And this was due to the great importance of the city in the past times and the many monuments that have been preserved from different periods . The whole old town is like an open air museum. If there is a city that sums up our country's history, that one is Toledo. I love history and my goal on this tour is to share it with you in a way that would make it memorable and entertaining at the same time. Each of you are different, therefore the ability to tailor the visit to your interests will by my priority. We will travel throught the time and visit the highlights of this fascinating city. We will follow the traces of Muslims, Jewish and of course, Christians. Without forgetting "El Greco" , the painter who immortalize the city with his paintings. Join me in this extraordinary tour!
Great tour and a very nice town. Mariluz was an excellent guide with a good knowledge of the history of Toledo, making this tour extremely interesting.
Highly recommend this tour. Mariluz is excellent and incredibly knowledgeable. It was a delight taking two tours with her during our stay in Madrid.
Mariluz and Jaime were prompt. The driver was incredible as he navigated the narrow streets of Toledo. He had ample bottles of water in the vehicle. Mariluz offered an impromptu change with the itinerary. We visited Hospital Tavera. She kindly bought a coffee at a nearby restaurant so we were able to use the restroom. We did not go to the mosque or the church of Santo Tome. We visited the Transito (former synagogue) and the Cathedral which was extensive once inside. With our walk, we poked into shops.
Mariluz organized the trip very well, with a driver who was amazing in the narrow streets of Toledo getting us up to the Cathedral area. We saw the fortifications and natural river barrier to entry. We saw everything Mariluz indicates in her tour, learned so much about the city itself and the role it played in history, and its people. We had a lovely lunch at a restaurant she recommended, and learned we have both met the same famous actor! Besides, she's fun and knows many people in Toledo. Select her!
Excellent guide. Very attentive and knowledgeable about a truly exceptional place in Spanish history, indeed the entire world, Toledo. A must see, and Mariluz is just the person the bring it alive.
Our tour with Mariluz Gutiérrez was exceptional. Her knowledge of Toledo's history and architecture was impressive, and she shared engaging stories at each landmark. Mariluz was patient and attentive with my elderly parents, ensuring their comfort throughout the tour. Her friendly demeanor made the tour feel like a day out with a knowledgeable friend. The Cathedral and Church of Santo Tome visits were memorable, especially viewing El Greco's masterpiece. Highly recommended.
