Hi, my name is Marco and I have made my life where I was born: in Cáceres, World Heritage City in the wild and stirring region of Extremadura. Passionately committed to explaining both city and region to visitors, I was educated at Extremadura University in Cáceres and at St Andrew's University in Scotland. Son of a guide, I expect to be fully qualified as a guide to my own city and to Extremadura at large, also to do a customised tour for you. I am well versed in history, art and architecture and have a keen appreciation of the issues of the present day. My offering hopes to be rich and delivered with intelligence and humour. I have travelled widely in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. As a linguist, I am able to conduct tours not only in Spanish and English, but also in French, Italian and Portuguese. I try to be sensitive to the differing needs of each language group, to differing levels of appreciation and to each individual. Nobody will feel neglected or 'talked down to'. I can also help you to shop, wine, dine and find the best restaurants in town. With its huge history of Romans, Arabs and Conquistadors, Extremadura is one of the most delightful and impressive parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Rich in magnificent small towns and monuments, it exudes a sense of the remote and different. I will try that time with me will always be time well spent. Official guide of the region of Extremadura. Languages achieved at the local Language School: English, French, Italian & Portuguese. None.

Cáceres is an outstanding example of a city that was ruled from the 14th to 16th centuries by powerful rival factions, reflected in its dominant spatial configuration of fortified houses, palaces and towers. This city in Extremadura bears the traces of highly diverse and contradictory influences. The urban design in the area inside the walls is an example of a medieval city, which has shaped its current aspect over centuries. As a local and son of a guide, the Old Town is part of myself and my home, the one I will be pleased to show you and discover every single secret of it.
Marco is an exceptional guide and we have had many tours throughout Europe over the years. He is a native of Caceres and has a depth of knowledge of Caceres and Spain and presented it in a very informative and interesting tour. He covered all of the key sites but also provided interesting details that we did not expect but enjoyed hearing. Highly recommended.
Marco was a great tour guide, and we very much enjoyed our tour of Caceres!
There's a lot to see in Caceres and Marco did an excellent job of taking us around the city. He does a great job of explaining the fascinating history of Caceres, as well as the architecture and lifestyle. Would definitely use him again if we get back to Extremadura.
Our tour with Marco was absolutely incredible! His vast knowledge of the area and its history, as well as his patience and generosity in answering all our questions, was superb. We appreciated every minute of our tour and were sad to see it end. We also treasured our conversation regarding Spanish culture and life in Spain. Mil gracias, Marco. We hope to see you again soon.
We enjoyed our time with Marco. He did a good job disseminating information, working with a slight mobility issue with one person in our group, and keeping the conversation dynamic.
This was trip, by far, was the best I have taken! I was retracing my familial roots and ancestry to the Extremadura region. Marco was simply superb! He is extremely articulate, passionate, humorous, multi-lingual, knowledgeable, and professional. I hired him for two days and followed his well thought-out plan. He was aware I had a personal interest in the Order of Santiago. He did not disappoint. Caceres is simply beautiful! I highly recommend Marco. You will not be disappointed. I will return to Extremadura and request his services again!
