Hi there! Nice to meet you

María Augusta

I love telling stories and sharing my passion for art and culture!

I studied communications and focused my career in human development and culture.

I love to be surrounded by people, music and arts. I enjoy warm conversations and to tell and listen good stories.

If you want to visit museums, I can promise you won’t get bored. We can also enjoy the city and discover its charming neighbourhoods together.

Maria Augusta was a delight! We were travelling with our 13 year old grandson and she brought the Prado to life! Her upbeat personality, knowledge and charm made the experience superb. She really put herself out for us, and it was gratefully appreciated. She's a winner!Couldn't be better!

We loved our tour of the art museum with Maria Augusta. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for her subject, weaving history, art and politics into one, while still capturing the essence of the artist and what they were trying to convey made this a simply fantastic tour. In addition, Maria Augusta was thoughtful and kind, making sure everyone was included with charm and grace. Can't rate highly enough!Fantastic tour of Reina Sofia

Maria was an excellent tour guide through Madrid. She talked me through some of Madrid’s history and was very knowledgeable. She showed me places to eat and things to spend my time on during my stay. I could not recommend meeting with Maria enough as she was so lovely and kind. Very fun and informative

Maria gave us a fantastic tour at the Reina Sofia - we got so much more out of the experience than we would have going through the museum alone. We appreciated her extensive knowledge about the artists, their pieces, and the historical context. We enjoyed the tour so much that we booked another one for our daughter and her boyfriend the following week!Phenomenal tour

Maria was the most amazing guide! We spent two hours with her in the Prado and her knowledge of art and history is extensive. She also makes art feel accessible to all. Her English is impeccable! Would highly recommend her and hope we can return to Madrid soon for another tour with her. Amazing tour!

Our family has travelled a fair amount, and used many guides in many cities. Maria is literally the best guide we have ever had. She has guided us on multiple trips to Madrid, and we have sent friends to her as well. She is very knowledgeable on the history, art, and culture of Spain and especially Madrid. She is also an attentive guide paying attention to the needs of our various elderly and young family members and making adjustments (bathroom, snack, break…) as needed. Her recommendations for restaurants, Flamenco, shopping, and other sites to visit have all been excellent.Best guide we have ever had
