Exploring Madrid with Lisa!

Published on Dec, 2024

Spending time in Madrid with Lisa was like visiting the city with a friend. It was great to design the time exploring the city to include visiting neighborhoods and stopping at interesting shops and cafes that had a special history. Lisa was very informative but her style was also relaxed and conversational vs a highly structured tour. She always checked to make sure we were enjoying the sights we visited and the pace at which we were traveling. Loved finding all of the “hidden gems” within Madrid and it gave us places to visit during the rest of our stay in Madrid, and also on our next visit. Thank you Lisa! Highly recommend.

Muchas Gracias Lisa!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Spending this time with Lisa as our guide through the neighborhoods of Madrid was fantastic! We loved the opportunity to customize where we went and what we saw all throughout the day! We learned about the history and culture of Madrid, as well as stopped at some local spots to see shops and cafes that had an interesting history. Exploring with Lisa was like spending time with a friend. She was informative and funny, checking if we were enjoying our time, and giving us a perspective to what it is like to live in Madrid. We also loved hearing her stories about her journey to Madrid from Venezuela and the US, and we are so impressed with her entrepreneurial spirit of starting her own company. Fantastic day! Highly recommend! Thank you Lisa for highlighting the wonderful city of Madrid for our family!

Amazing guide and tour of Madrid

Published on Dec, 2024

Let me tell you about the incredible time I had with my tour guide, Lisa, in Madrid! From the very moment we met, it was like reconnecting with an old friend who was very knowledgeable about this amazing city. Lisa was a lot of fun and brought the energy I was looking for in a guide. I wanted a flexible agenda for our 6 hours together since I was only in Madrid for part of a day. The tour was a masterclass in personalization. It wasn’t about a script or a schedule—it was about me. What I wanted to see, feel, and experience. And somehow, Lisa just knew exactly how to craft the perfect day. We had an amazing connection and by the end, I wasn’t just saying goodbye to a guide—I was saying goodbye to a new friend. If you’re thinking about exploring Madrid, Lisa is the guide you need.

Historic Madrid Walking tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Lisa took us on a historic old town tour. We enjoyed our 2 hour walking tour and found the history provided by Lisa created a great picture of old town Madrid through the centuries. Thank you Lisa!
