Hi! I'm Silvia. I grew up walking between masterpieces and I consider myself sensitive with art as my mom is an official art restorer at the Royal Palace and Prado Museum! I admire people full of knowledge who can speak about anything so I try to study a bit every day to become one of those people. On the other hand I love foreigners and how they can show you different ways to see life, I also enjoy walking, traveling, sharing. . . I found in my profession the best way to have it all together so I couldn't be happier when I became an official guide 10 years ago, and you are going to feel it!!! Since I was little I wanted to become a guide so I started my career pretty soon, I have a degree in Art History (it takes 5 years in Spain) and I continue studying history of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and other places reading books about it. I learned 6 languages, although I prefer to tour in english because I believe having a broad vocabulary is really important. I guarantee I'll take you to visit all the sites with the feeling of having a local friend who makes sure that your stay is full of pleasant surprises, because empathy is my best skill . We will talk about hidden treasures and rarely-told stories that blend with the city must sees. I will offer you a mix of all tours, mystery, history, art, legends, literature, . . . . The most interesting things, the most curious stories. A PRISM, a different vision about the city and hopefully life. You are the ultimate boss and decide what to see and how many stops you want to do along the way. And I'm just there to make you notice where are you passing through, to make you observe instead of just looking , to tell you stories , and help you learn about the language and culture. Art Historian National tour guide I'm not a driver but I can arrange you a private car and driver or any transport type

Overview of your Madrid tour

On this tour, I will take you where I personally go with my family and friends when not working. I won't take you to touristy places where guides get commission from your drinks and food. Because before being a guide, I am a traveler. I have traveled the world for 5 years, I have lived in 6 different countries and visited 120 of them. This makes me stand out from any other guides, because I've been in your shoes. In the past, I didn't enjoy tours. I thought they made me waste my time and money, so I have decided to became a different type of guide. When you find a problem, you should be part of the solution. The quality of wines and food we'll taste is high as I really think you should try the best products of my land for you to understand why after visiting so many countries I'm still living in Madrid.

Your Madrid tour itinerary

We will meet in metro Goya and walk along Alcalá street, one of the best areas for shopping, that hides locals favorites tapas places (secret local places in Salamanca Quarter will be visited, I can't give you the names!). But I can tell you that we will visit 3 of these wonderful tapas places. We will try different traditional food and delicious wines. In between the bars, we can talk and discuss about the curiosities of the Spanish culture, and of course the Madrilenian traditions. This tour includes 4 types of wine: normally 2 white 2 red, to learn about the different denominations of origin; 4 tapas (2 seafood, 1 meat, 1 vegetarian normally unless you have special preferences). To end the tour, we will see the second biggest Plaza de toros in the world called Las Ventas. The perfect farewell point. * This tour can be customized upon request, feel free to message me.
