Guide #7788

Olé Amigos! I'm a professional guide, licensed tour manager born in the city of Madrid. I have 15 years of experience and I previously lived and worked in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Tel Aviv and San Sebastian for my food and wine career in michelin starred restaurants. I'm a chef and wine expert, so I feel passion about touring while caring for the "eating and drinking" factor. With over 1,850 private tours delivered and more than 900 traveler reviews, I am one of the most experienced guides on the ToursByLocals platform worldwide and the leading guide in Madrid. In 2025, I was honored with the ToursByLocals Golden Guide Career Award for outstanding performance. My somewhat nomadic lifestyle has given me a wide perspective of life, culture, history and the excitement of experiencing new destinations while enjoying and respecting local traditions. Apart from living in different countries and learning to adapt to different cultures, I keep traveling and I have been a tourist myself many times. I love planning my excursions by my morning cup of coffee, always hungry to find new exciting local spots and stories that enrich my insider's insight. Perhaps you have been to Spain before and you are looking for something new? From my own travelling experience I know how important is to get to the best places avoiding being treated "like a tourist" or how tricky it can get finding that unforgettable wine cellar, having the right restaurant table or sitting at an intimate Flamenco "tablao". As a local, I already know all those special places and hidden corners, typical cafés, unknown museums and specialized stores - and I will be more than happy to share my learnings with you. I will tell you plenty of curious anecdotes about where we are walking by, what are we tasting or contemplating at. During your stay, I will be the Spaniard that hosts you, your family and friends, and I will organize for you the visits tailored to your needs and at your own pace so you can enjoy the most of it. I have a small fleet of luxury vehicles and can get various quality size vehicles for different size groups.

    Pepe's Toledo tour was beyond expectations. His mastery of the history of the region, and the way he presents it is so interesting and engaging. It was a magnificent history lesson all in one day. A highlight of the tour was lunch in a local medieval home where the first floor that originally housed a business had been converted into a restaurant. So it is still...

    Pepe provided us with an amazing overview of the history of Madrid. What a fascinating city to learn about from an excellent guide. We saw several different historical sites and then enjoyed going to a small neighborhood taverna to sample some tapas and drinks. We would gladly book another tour with Pepe when we come back to Madrid.

    Pepe drove us to the city from Madrid and provided interesting information on the way. He is a fountain head of historical knowledge but it is delivered in understandable chunks. If you like European/Spanish history, he is the guide for you. He also knows of some great places to have a lunch and more than a bit about local wines. A great day. My wife has a walking...

    Pepe made our tour of four tapas and wine establishments so fun. We saw some of the most unusual and interesting places we would never have found on our own. This is a great introduction tour for anyone who wants to see and experience Spanish food and wine. I’d definitely do this tour again!
