About me
Welcome to Madrid!My name is Vanessa and I look forward to showing you this beautiful and unique city and making sure you enjoy every second of your visit.My family is Swiss, but I was born in Madrid and have also lived in several other European countries such as Germany and France.
I´m expert in History&Art and an awarded licensed guide in Madrid, but first and foremost an enthusiastic storyteller with more than 10 years of experience leading travelers across my city and its surroundings.
Although I have traveled a lot, my favorite city has always been Madrid and its secret plazas, sunny terraces, century-old shops, taverns and great city life.Come with me and discover the history and legends of Madrid, its Muslim origins, charming streets and neighborhoods, unique shops, the best tapas and above all the Spanish way of life. We can also look over the thumbs of Madrid from special viewpoints and taste the authentic gastronomy and wines of the city.Forget about carrying your guidebook and trying to find your way around the city while missing many things. Instead, let me plan a wonderful day that suits your needs and take you on an adventure! We will avoid the crowds and focus on the authenticity of Madrid. Afterwards I will give you many tips and recommendations for the following days of your stay.PS: If what you want to see is not included in my list (like Reina Sofia or Thyssen Museum, Retiro Park, Royal Palace, Aranjuez, Toledo, Lavapies), please send me an email and I will arrange a special tour for you..
