Discover Madrid’s art treasures at the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum with me, an art-loving local. Part of the Art Walk, this wonderful museum holds a vast collection of stunning artwork. Join me on this private tour and together we will discover works by Monet, Van Gogh, Caravaggio, and many more.
Had a wonderful Prado tour with Elena. Along with our two daughters, (7 and 10 yrs), we learned a lot. She's so friendly and brought cool projects for the kids to do that taught them about the art. She also gave us recommendations of things to do with kids in Madrid.

Our girls love Francesca
We had a fantastic tour with Francesca. Our 2nd time at the vatican and getting a guided tour was definitely worth it. We learned so much more. Francesca did a wonderful job of engaging with our 10 and 5 yr old daughters to keep them interested in all of the different subjects. They had fun with the treasure hunt and they said they had so much fun. Highly recommend!

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!!

Francesca was amazing!! She was so knowledgeable and such a nice person. She really paid attention to the needs of our group (ranging in ages 2-70 years old) and was able to truly customize our experience. We can’t wait to come back to Rome to see Francesca again!

Wonderful experience
Our tour of the Vatican with Francesca was wonderful! She was incredibly knowledgable and was able to keep my two kids engaged for the entire tour. She covered the history and the art while mixing in tons of kid-friendly anecdotes and stories. Our only regret was that we didn't have enough time in Rome to book a second tour with her. Highly, highly recommend!

Elena is amazing
Elena is amazing with our 5 and 9 year olds. She kept them engaged for the whole time. My 5 year old keeps telling me all the things she learned at the museum after the visit.

Great walk
We chose Elena and the artistic walk in Madrid because we have already seen the tourist sites on prior trips. Her walk revealed a new side of Madrid for us - including hidden artist shops and boutiques we would have never found. She is fun and knowledgeable - reserve her time for a non-tourist look into Madrid.

Francesca great tour of the Vatican!
Couldn't be more pleased with our small (4 people) group of Vatican visitors. Francesca breezed us through the lines and mobs of people and kept the pace brisk and entertaining - such a font of information! My husband and I had been to the Vatican before, but this was like all=new information - well worth it!

Fantastic and engaging family experience!
Francesca is a rare combination of very knowledgeable and a very engaging guide. She helped our kids (13, 11, 8) understand the complex history of the Vatican, St Peter’s, and all the attendant art and artifacts. We were very grateful for her patience and experience.
