A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Madrid hosts to shop until you drop - just kidding, you won’t be doing any dropping unless perhaps it’s dropping into a chair in a tapas bar for a revitalizing mojito.

Flit from retro designers' stores to vintage markets and one-of-a-kind boutiques in the ultimate shopping district - but it ultimately all comes down to what your style is. So first things first, let us know if your vibe is luxury designer stores or eclectic vintage shops, or something in between!

You’ll be enticed by the vibrant community spirit as you stroll through trendy barrios like Malasaña or the most stylish shopping districts like luxurious Salamanca, discovering Madrid's distinct fashion style as you muse over what to buy.

Your host is here to share with you all the fashion hotspots of their city, at whatever pace you’re happy with. You’ll feel like you’re shopping with a knowledgeable friend by your side, which obviously means you’ll buy way more than you planned to. Oops.

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!

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.

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!

The tour was great, Lisa has a lot of knowledge about the city and its history, and shared information which I would not have known if I had gone on my own. She was friendly and helpful too, and walked me to the Prado museum as she wanted to make sure I reached there safely, even though our tour had ended Definitely engage her for walking tours!
