Hi there! Nice to meet you

Drica

I'm a Brazilian-Spanish storyteller crazy in love with Madrid, my adopted home for about 2 decades! I'm a positive soul in essence, but you'll see me the happiest when watching an Almodovar or Bunuel movie, dancing the night away at a rock concert, admiring Goyas and Picassos at a museum, having a glass of wine or vermouth on tap (tapas included!) and planning my next trip! I'm fascinated with diversity, so I would love to be your host! :)

Thank you Drica for making our Prado trip so memorable. We found your tour both interesting and informative. We learnt about the history of the museum, its paintings and painters. Perfect. Thankyou for being empathetic when one member of our group needed rest times. The experience was just right and I'll remember this as a highlight of my 60th Birthday celebrations. When we return to Madrid I hope to book another tour with you.Fab u lous

Drica was such a warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate guide on our vegetarian food tour in Madrid. She really made us feel welcome, and brought us to a number of spots we definitely wouldn’t have tried without her guidance. Our only regret was not doing the tour earlier in our stay, so we could take advantage of more of her great recommendations!What a delight!

Our family and a few friends arrived in Madrid and spent a delightful early afternoon with Drica seeing artwork and visiting the market in the Lavapies neighborhood. Drica was a wonderful guide, answering all of our questions and providing lots of intriguing history about Spanish life that we were seeing reflected in the artwork. Our family has many food restrictions and Drica skillfully was able to find tapas and a quieter place for our group to sit in the marketplace. We learned a ton about contemporary Spain too and she was a very responsive communicator when we set up the tour to tailor the tour to our group’s interests and worked with our group’s pace. We highly recommend this experience! A great first day in Madrid

Drica made us feel right at home in the fantastic atmosphere of Lavapiés. It felt like being with an old friend with wonderful communication skills and excellent English. One has to understand the cultural importance of street art in Madrid, but also specifically in Lavapiés to truly appreciate the city. A must do with Drica. It takes you places that you would not see in Madrid without this tour. Thank you so much, we loved it. Great art, excellent guide

Drica was a great guide, showing us her favorite art pieces, giving a bit of historic and local context and recommending good adresses. It was a great way to discover the district of lavapies with a more local view, and enjoy some typical vermut in the neighborhood market. It really felt like diving straight into a community and lively district, while understanding the recent gentrification problems and changes it is facing. It was an awesome morning, with the happy and interesting company of Drica :)Smily visit of a lively district

Saturday morning we had a wonderful tour i Madrid together with Drica as our local guide. Drica was very knowledgeable and helpful. She took us to places of interest.We also got a lot of advice of restaurants, galleries and other interesting places to visit. We can hardly recommend Drica if you go to Madrid. 👍Amazing tour in Madrid!

Drica was an amazing tour guide. We were able to get the history, the layout, and some “local knowledge” of Madrid. Lots of walking but well worth it! City walking Tour of Madrid

We had a lovely time exploring Madrid with Drica. Her passion for the city and her knowledge of the history and culture of Madrid made for a great introduction to our visit. Drica's warm personality and kindness makes you feel like you are with an old friend. I would highly recommend a tour with Drica! Tres Chicas

I scheduled this tour with Drica on my husband’s birthday as a surprise. Drica was truly wonderful and friendly, adjusted herself to our interests and preferences. The tour in Lavapies was so nice and relaxed, on a Saturday morning. She walked us through all the street art, was really knowledgeable about the history and uniqueness of every area and Madrid. We highly recommend Drica and hope to meet again in the future!
