Hello everyone! I'm Rubén, official tour guide and guru of Madrid;), I'm 28 years old, I like to be called Rubens, I consider myself a "cat" (native of Madrid). I also collaborate with friends and family who help me on a timely basis with reservations. I have a degree in tourism and halfway through my history degree and at the moment I'm self-employed. I started to fall in love with the profession in 2019 thanks, in part, to my friend Aurora, but from 2020 onwards I worked with arkeotour which is a company that also helped me a lot, and then in 2021 I started doing the tours on my own and trying. You must keep in mind that Madzguía has only been active for a short time and many times the minimum number of necessary attendees is not reached, starting, as you well know, is not easy at all. I'm a fun guy, I consider myself close to people and I love exchanging opinions with travelers, since they can bring you experiences without having traveled outside of Madrid. I have travelled a bit around Europe and that has helped me to love this job, because in every corner there is always a story to tell and I think Madrid is a perfect city to teach all kinds of tours. It is a city full of life where everyone feels at home, for me it is one of the best cities in Spain and one of the best in the world. I have experience as a local guide, but I am very passionate about my job and I like to teach and explain events, for me it is the ideal job. That is why I think being able to work in my own city doing something I like as a local guide is a privilege.

Tour description

This is a tour that will take you through sublime, mythological places full of history on one of the most spectacular walks in this beautiful city, the Landscape of Light. In addition, this area has recently been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

It is a tour that takes you through the main streets, buildings, hotels, museums, statues that adorn this Landscape of Light, as well as its curiosities and anecdotes. In addition, the proximity that exists between all the components of this tour is optimal, since everything is articulated around the garden areas of the Paseo del Prado. The tour begins in the Plaza de las Cortes and little by little we will spread out through the area to see the history of each corner, of the fountains of Cibeles, Apollo, Neptune... We will see the mysteries of the Bank of Spain... One of the most important entrance and exit doors to the city in past centuries: The Puerta de Alcalá.
Carlos III laid the first stone to beautify it. Are you interested and would you like to sign up for this tour?

Warning:

It is a tour that covers almost the entire Paseo del Prado; it is about 3 kilometers long, so it is advisable to wear comfortable shoes.

Please do not book if you are less than 5 as I cannot guarantee the tour will take place.
