Born and bred in Madrid, I come from a large family and I always loved being surrounded by people. After working in marketing and communication for multinational firms for more than a decade, I decided to leave the business world behind in order to live out of my real passion : tour guiding. I started my own business in Madrid with a small team of qualified local guides. Today, we offer original tours off the beaten path in order to immerse the visitors in an authentic atmosphere. Let me help you explore one of the greatest cities in the world and its hidden treasures. You will learn how to live, act and think like a Madrileno while uncovering secret places. With my original tours, you will also discover the Spanish capital's rich history in an informative and also a fun and entertaining way. A curious detail about me : I am a true foodie! Gastronomy is my other passion and I make sure my visitors can experience it in Madrid's fabulous dining scene.
