Hello everybody! My name is Jaime, born and raised in Chamberí, a very "castizo" neighborhood of Madrid, well known for its genuine people and its alive streets, where tradition and modernity are always together, as it happens often in Madrid, the city I love and I'd like to show you. Art historian and official guide since 2013, I used to travel and visit cultural wonders as much as I could. Then I thought that the best way to keep doing so was to share it with other people, and I became a guide. Those travels helped me, as now I can do the tours in English and Italian, and of course, they are always useful to have a broader perspective. After guiding in Venice, where I lived for a couple of years, I returned to my city, which is the only city I might like more than Venice. Not only Madrid but also The beautiful historical towns nearby. After this many years, I still get stunned by the beauty inside Prado Museum, while searching for new knowledge among its endless collection. The best of Madrid is not only the fascinating history of the city but also its heritage as the capital of one of the biggest empires in human history. It is also the open-minded, cosmopolitan people who are always on the streets, meeting at the squares and going to hundreds of bars, restaurants, theaters, exhibitions, cinemas, and museums, always willing to help and talk to other people. Those people created centuries of traditions, legends, and secrets that I'd love to show you. They also created an endless and great gastronomy (where tapas are always the main protagonist) That we can also share. My aim is always to make the traveler enjoy, therefore I also encourage you to customize your tour, in every possible way: duration, content, stops, places to visit, and whatever you come up with. The entire city is my home and I am willing to show you all! We will have a great, casual, and fun time, and of course a lot of accurate professional information too. See you soon! History of Art degree Official guide license I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

The historic center of Segovia is one of the most impressive in Spain. The walled city is located on a mountain where the impressive Roman aqueduct arrives. Inside, its streets are full of monuments and history, the houses have traditional decoration and the surrounding landscape makes it even more beautiful. Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Christians, and Jews have populated this city for more than 2, 000 years, leaving an overwhelming cultural legacy. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Europe. This tour has a suggested itinerary entering in the Cathedral and the Alcázar, but we will also improvise while we talk, to focus on the things you like the most. I will pick you up at your hotel - or anywhere else - Or meet you at the train station to optimize your time and enjoy the fascinating wonders of Segovia in a personalized experience that's tailored for you. Don't miss this wonderful City! I'd love to show you it!
The highlight of our trip so far. The castle was incredible, even more so the nearly 2000 year old aqueduct, the cathedral was also very interesting, and the town is charming. Best of all, our guide Jamie and our driver Jesus were great companions. Highly recommended
Jaime was an excellent guide. He is kind, incredibly knowledgeable and he tailored the tour to our interests. I highly recommend his services.
Segovia is a marvel and Jaime helped us see the depth of its beauty. His depth of knowledge is matched by his love and passion for the place. And most importantly his timing is impeccable - we arrived before the crowds at each stop. I already want to go back. Thanks, Jaime!
Jaime was an excellent guide. He has a deep knowledge of history and architecture and was able to bring the history of Segovia to life for my teenage daughter and me. He was super flexible to accommodate our interests. We appreciated that he understood we were still a little jet-lagged so allowed the drive to and from Segovia to be quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend Jaime.
- The aqueduct dates from the 2nd century and is one of the most spectacular Roman monuments in the world. Its arches reach 28 meters in height and give Segovia its most unmistakable silhouette. - Casa de los Picos is one of the oldest houses in the city, from the 15th century. From here there are also beautiful views of the surroundings. - La Alhóndiga was the city's grain warehouse in the 16th century. - San Martin Church is a Romanesque church from the 12th century. - Iglesia del Corpus Christi was the city's oldest major synagogue. A legacy that tells us about the rich cultural coexistence that existed for a long time in the Castilian cities. - The Cathedral, Known as the last Gothic cathedral, is one of the most beautiful in Spain and inside we find An authentic universe of history and art. (Inside) - The Alcázar looks like something out of a fairy tale. Some of the most important events in the history of Spain happened in this Arabic castle. (Inside)
