Hi there! Nice to meet you

Welcome to Madrid!! Allow me to be your host and design the perfect experience for you!

I love everything related to arts: music, exhibitions, dance, photography, theater, movies... I like spending time with friends (I love to chat and learn from others!)

I teach singing, I sing and play in a band and I'm a designer. Both of my parents are theater actors so I grew up surrounded by art people. I consider myself fortunate because I've been traveling since very young with them!

Of course I visit the famous places when traveling, but what I really like is to get lost in new places... I love to just walk and see, discover little jewels (hidden libraries, small restaurants, antique shops) and talk to people about their city.

Spain is a great place to live in and to visit, and Madrid has so much to offer!! Let me know your interests and I'll take you around, showing you amazing places to eat, shop, admire art or stroll around ;)

We had a fantastic evening with Elena learning all about flamenco and attempting to learn how to play the castanets! It felt like a ‘behind the scenes’ experience going into the flamenco school and seeing where the students practice and using one of their rehearsal rooms to try and learn the castanets ourselves. Elena was a great teacher (even though we were not great students 😂🙈) and it was such a unique experience. Following our lesson, we attending a flamenco show with dinner and we had such a greater understanding of the art of flamenco than we ever would have without spending time with Elena! If you are looking for a unique experience during your time in Madrid, we highly recommend you spend an evening with Elena learning about the history of Spain through flamenco! 💃 Amazing immersive Flamenco experience!

We took a five hour Madrid city tour with Elena and she communicated with us before to try to tailor the tour to our liking. She knew exactly where she wanted to take us and had great stories about each building or ruler of each time period. Her historical knowledge was the over the top, but how she delivered will help us remember as well. Stories are always easier to remember than facts and dates. As we ran into other guides and shop owners in the city, their respect for her was obvious. The two of us explored the Prado together and she focused on the most important works of art and knew every minute detail as she explained them to me. We enjoyed sharing some food with Elena and she gave us recommendations for later in the week. She went out of her way to help me purchase a European curling iron and continued to follow up with us after the tour. But, it was more than just the 5 hours we were together as a tour. We shared pictures of our families as well as stories. I now have not only someone to refer my friends to in Madrid, but a new friend as well! 😍Everyone should tour with Elena!

Elena ist großartig. Sie hat uns viele kleine Läden mit tollen Produkten, Gallerien und Winkel der Stadt gezeigt, die wir alleine nie gefunden hätten. Ihr Restaurant- Tipp war super. Wir haben uns sofort gut mit ihr verstanden, sie ist ein sehr netter Mensch.

We booked Elena for an arts tour and asked if she would be ok with our daughters (ages 6 and 4). At our meeting she had sketch books and pens and stickers - they were thrilled. She took us through the art district and gave us great information and insight. Along the way, she would have our girls work in art projects in their books and my husband and I were given time to check out the shops and places of interest. An amazing balance of fun and informative. Incredible with kids

Elena was fantastic and really connected with our group of 6 first time Madrid visitors. She really took at lot of time to get to know us and our preferences, and to design a tour to fit our entire group. We loved the art & architecture focus and really appreciated some special "insider" surprises she provided. We're so glad to have a new best friend in Madrid. Highly recommended!!Look no further

we were so lucky to have chosen Elena for this 2 1/2 hour deep dive into the Prado’s masterpieces. Though we are both avid museum goers, Elena showed us things we’d never seen before. Paintings and history came alive through the details, secrets and stories she shared. She has a wonderful warm manner and is so generous in sharing her knowledge and passion. We'd love to do more tours with her. Thank youOUTSTANDING AND MEMORABLE!

Elena is a super friendly, passionate and knowledgeable guide to have at your side to navigate the overwhelming collection of The Prado. Her tour introduced us to some key works we had not experienced prior to our visit and gave us new perspectives on familiar ones. She knows her subject for sure and in a clear and engaging manner shared her favourite works in the collection alongside many other insights to life in Madrid. The most enjoyable couple of hours were spent in her company and I would thoroughly recommend Elena as a perfect companion to a Madrid visit.Insightful & Illuminating Prado Tour

Our family started our Spain vacation in Madrid. Elena gave us a tour of the Prado and brought life and context to what we were viewing. We appreciated her passion for the art and for her country's history. She spoiled us for the rest of our trip though! After our time with Elena, everywhere we went someone in our group would say "we need Elena here too!". She also made recommendations for other spots to visit, including a wonderful flamenco show. We highly recommend Elena!We loved our time with Elena!

We were so so so so fortunate to have Elena as our private guide for a tour of the impressive El Prado Museum in Spain. I cannot imagine this visit going any better than what it did. Anyone who has gone to El Prado will understand how daunting it may feel to be within the expansive El Prado and feel like they are maximizing their time within these historic walls. In comes Elena - vibrant, smiling, knowledgeable, engaging, smart, funny, and all the other positive superlatives in the world. She single handedly made this a super engaging and enriching experience for our family of four. Our two teenagers remained engaged with her at all times. Not an easy feat!!!!!!!!! Elena made the paintings come to life. Her commentary was always on point, interesting and value adding. We were surprised at how quickly we developed a wonderful rapport with Elena. We wish her all the best and remind her that she has new friends in California. Do not hesitate to book her. She is a GEM.We LOVED LOVED LOVED Elena! She's the BEST
