Experience a Tailored Shopping Trip in Madrid with a Personal Image Advisor
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed in a busy shopping district or unsure about what styles truly suit you, this tour offers a refreshing approach. For $162, you get roughly two hours of personalized guidance through Madrid’s famous INDITEX stores—Zara, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Bershka—led by a seasoned image consultant. The guide, Alejandra Bahamón, has over 8 years of experience helping travelers like us develop a more authentic, impactful style. Starting at Plaza de España, this private session promises to turn your shopping experience into a confidence-building adventure.
What makes this experience stand out is its focus on teaching you the principles of personal style, not just pushing for purchases. We love that you’ll learn about your morphology, colorimetry, and proportions—crucial insights that help you shop smarter long after the tour ends. Plus, the guidance is practical: you won’t just walk through stores; you’ll receive tips you can apply immediately, making your future shopping trips much more purposeful.
One consideration is that the cost doesn’t include your shopping budget, so you should be prepared to spend separately if you find pieces you love. Also, since the tour ends back at the starting point, it’s ideal for those who want a focused, private experience rather than a sprawling group tour.
If you’re the kind of traveler who enjoys improving your personal style, appreciates expert advice, and wants to make the most of your shopping time in Madrid, this tour is a perfect fit. It’s especially suited for those wanting a more meaningful shopping experience rather than just browsing aimlessly.

A Deep Dive into the Madrid Personal Shopping Experience
The Itinerary and Key Highlights
Starting at ZARA on Plaza de España, you’ll meet your guide—Alejandra, described as very professional, empathetic, and friendly. From there, the tour takes you through several INDITEX stores, including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, and Bershka. Each of these brands offers different styles and price points, providing a well-rounded shopping experience.
During the process, Alejandra will help you understand your body’s proportions, color preferences, and overall style goals. This isn’t about pushing you into trends but about helping you discover what makes you feel confident. For instance, you might learn which cuts flatter your figure or which color palettes enhance your natural features. We loved the emphasis on practical tips—one reviewer mentioned, “the tips Alejandra gave are very good and practical.”
What to Expect at Each Store
In Zara and Bershka, you’ll find trendy, affordable pieces—perfect for updating your wardrobe with current styles. Massimo Dutti offers a more sophisticated, classic look, while Stradivarius caters to a younger, more playful audience. The guide’s insights help you navigate these diverse offerings, showcasing how to choose clothes that align with your body shape and style ambitions.
What You’ll Learn
The core value here is educating you on your personal style fundamentals. Expect to discuss your morphology (body shape), colorimetry (which colors suit you best), and scale and proportions. This knowledge allows you to create outfits that flatter and express your personality, rather than just buying on impulse.
