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 through the mysterious El Capricho park !
It is one of the most spectacular and mysterious parks we have in Madrid. I will tell you the story of its mysteries, of the famous Duchess of Osuna, of the "whims" of the park , among other curiosities.
We will start at the entrance to the garden, and then continue to see the 18th century palace, the Temple of Bacchus, and the Beekeeper . We will end at the same meeting point.
It is a journey back two and a half centuries in time, during which I hope you will be carried away by the magic of the park.


At least 5 people are needed for it to come out.

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


Note:
Pets are not allowed in the park, if it were up to me there would be no problem, but that is the regulation.
