Tour guide in Madrid Victor I.

Hi everyone! My name is Victor and I would be delighted to share some time with you to enjoy the rich history and pleasures that Madrid and Spain have to offer. Victor, your amigo in Spain. It might sound silly but as the British say "It does what it says in the tin". My aim and pleasure at the same time is to make sure that you enjoy your time like you were visiting your best friend. Life is short and this city is such a pleasure to live in. Are you young in nature with a willingness to learn and experience life? I have more than 20 years of experience guiding. Although I am originally from Madrid, Spain, I have traveled and lived abroad for many years and it was in London and traveling through the UK that I realized how much I enjoy sharing places and their history with like-minded people. I really started to get to know Madrid looking from an outsider's perspective from Napoli, Sicily, Ghent, Den Bosh, New Orleans, Washington…or Milan just to name a few. I love life's little moments, like those around a glass of wine, also love observing and learning about history, philosophy, and all the questions that life throws into our way, without forgetting health which has always been a very important part of my life. I have already lost two of the most important persons in my life - my father from whom I have learned manners and my love for gastronomy, and my sister, from her I've got this love of questions and my emotional side and from both, how to have a good laugh, be kind to people and to make the most out of life. Knowledge is wonderful, but useless if you can not share it with the world. My mom, 97 and growing strong, is the youngest person I know, showing us the way to be happy. And this is what you are going to find with me: a friendly soul that from the first moment will become close as a friend would be, a stroll around the old city around the most emblematic places, the many stories, theories, conspiracies from the old times and the smiles and jokes from the locals… yes, if you are with me the normal thing is that we stop at some point for a well-deserved beer to keep us going. As I mentioned before, health is very important to me and I have always had a thing for helping people, as a youngster as a Sports coach, (Nutrition coaching, movement, and massage) and later in life as a life coach (Neuroscience, meditation & much more). A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. My aim is to live up to 124 and enjoy every minute. So far I am winning. No need to say that traveling, exploring new places, and meeting new people have been demonstrated to improve our health and boost our life expectancy and for me It will be a huge pleasure to meet you. I will do my best in order to make your experience unforgettable so you can go back and share with your loved ones the photos from your happy adventure. Because what is life after all but an adventure? Join me in this search for the fountain of youth on our life journey while we sip away happy moments. You will see that it is pretty easy to become a local in Madrid. Please feel free to contact me with queries. There is always so much going on that most of the time it is difficult to tell in advance… shows, music, art, sports events (tennis, golf, horses. . . ) If there is anything special you would like to do or not sure about something, just ask, I will be happy to help.
