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.
Take a guided tour of the Prado Museum, the main Spanish national art museum, located in the center of Madrid. Explore the world's richest collection of paintings, including works by Velásquez and Goya.
Enjoy the works of art in the Prado Museum, they are all precious and show us the majestic world of art; As you can imagine, in Spain we have had dominance around the world during the Habsburg or Habsburg dynasty, therefore the most important artists have been in Spain, to be more specific, in Madrid because it has been the capital of the Spanish Crown since 1561, means that since then Titian, El Greco, Rubens, El Bosco, Velázquez, Goya and others have painted for the Kings reflecting their eternal power.
