I'm Pepe A., your private tour guide in Madrid
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 1,900 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.

This is the second time that we have taken the tapas and wines tour with Pepe, and it was as great of an experience as the first time, perhaps even better. He is both a chef and a wine expert, and he took us to some of the best tapas bars in Madrid, avoiding the more touristy places that were like the “McDonald’s” of tapas! Only one of the bars was the same as on the...

We first used Pepe as a guide 8 years ago and were just as pleased now as we were then. He picked us up promptly at our hotel and as we drove to Segovia he gave us an excellent overview of what we would be seeing. He expertly answered any questions we had - and we had a lot of them! As we walked around the various areas of the ancient city, he pointed out all of the...
