Hola. Mi name is Alfonso. I am a passionate 32 years old guide from Madrid. I have been guiding for almost 7 years all over Spain and Portugal , giving different kinds of tours as both a local guide and tour leader. I have studied business and tourism and I have been professional athlete. WHY AM I GUIDING? Since I was a kid I have always loved knowing new places. I enjoy improvising within those new cities and discovering new places along the way. I am curious about everything. I consider myself to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, good listener, deep and open minded person. I am a people person. I love getting to know new people and learning from them. I love to travel anywhere and anyway. I have lived in Germany and I have worked and studied abroad in many different locations. When I had a surgery on my hip I had to stop playing sports and start from scratch. I began thinking "what do I like and what do I do well?". My friends would always ask me things like: Where should we go for dinner? Would you come with me to the Prado Museum ? Alfonso, How do we get to this place or that? I have always been interested in history, gastronomy and art : the roots of any place culture. The way we the humans interact with the environment. When thinking about my hobbies and these facts about myself I decided that guiding could be something that could appeal to me. Luckily for me, it worked out. Being a tour-guide is a lot being like a student. I am always studying new things, preparing new activities for the tours and learning from people I meet. I started guiding in the tricky city centre of Madrid and afterwords in other cities, museums, palaces etc. In my tours I love to show the real deal of the places we visit, to have local experiences and if possible to interact with locals. I don't like to ignore controversial topics. To go often off the beaten truck. I invite you to do a tour with me , I would be more than happy showing you my city. During a tour with me, we will learn from each other and our different backgrounds. I am flexible and able to customize tours. Thank you for your time reading this. - Official Guiding License - Toledo Cathedral and Toledo Monuments License - Tourism and Business Degree No restrictions

This private day tour from Madrid is a perfect way to discover the essence of historic Castile in just one day. You will visit Ávila and Segovia, two of the most important UNESCO World Heritage cities in central Spain, traveling comfortably by private vehicle and without worrying about transportation or timing. With over 7 years of experience guiding in both cities, I can confidently say that they never disappoint. Although close to each other, Ávila and Segovia offer very different experiences. Ávila impresses visitors with its magnificent medieval walls, while Segovia stands out for its extraordinary Roman Aqueduct and the iconic Alcázar, one of Spain’s most beautiful castles. This tour is ideal for travelers who want to make the most of their time, combining history, architecture, and comfort in a relaxed and personalized experience outside Madrid. Highlights: Roman Aqueduct of Segovia Alcázar of Segovia Medieval Walls of Ávila
Don’t give it a second thought! This was a fantastic tour, even in the rain! Alfonso was an amazing tour guide-incredibly knowledgeable about everything and great fun to spend a day with. We highly recommend booking Alfonso for any tour you can.
We spent a month in Spain and this was our favorite day. Alfonso was knowledgeable, humorous, and took us to all the key spots and many away from the crowds. He chose a wonderful locals restaurant for lunch, helped us pick the right dishes, and was an amazing host all day.
Alfonso was a terrific guide. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and kept us on schedule. Ávila and Segovia is a perfect day trip. I have booked numerous trips with TBL and Alfonso was one of the best guides I have ever had.
What great day we had with Alfonso. Avila and Segovia were magnificent and he was a treasure trove of information, not to mention just a great guy to hang out with. Highly recommend this trip and Alfonso.
Alfonso was enthusiastic and knowledgeable with both Avila and Segovia. It was a joy to have him as our guide as he shared much information and his passion for both places. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Alfonso.
If I could leave a thousand stars I would. We have traveled extensively and have used many guides from Tours by Locals, Alfonso has been the most knowledgeable of all.
