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

Overview of your Madrid tour

Don’t miss a thing on this complete full-day experience in downtown Madrid. As a true Madrileño, I understand how overwhelming the city can feel, with its endless cultural offerings — vibrant neighborhoods, hidden gems, historic landmarks, museums and beautiful parks. This tour is designed to help you experience the very best of Madrid in one unforgettable day. We will begin at the Prado Museum, where masterpieces by artists such as Fra Angelico, Bosch, El Greco, Botticelli, Titian, Velázquez, Rubens and Goya await us. After immersing ourselves in centuries of artistic genius, we will continue exploring the historic center. Our journey will then take us to the magnificent Royal Palace — the largest in Western Europe — once home to Spanish monarchs. Along the way, we will also discover the Cathedral, Plaza Mayor, the Literary Quarter, Puerta del Sol and many other essential and hidden corners of the city. What more could you ask for? I offer you a truly memorable day in Madrid.

We recently traveled to Spain and had the pleasure of having Alfonso as our tour guide across several cities, including Segovia, Ávila, Salamanca, and Madrid. Traveling with three children, our goal was to ensure the entire family could fully appreciate the historical and cultural richness of each destination—and Alfonso exceeded all expectations. His deep knowledge and genuine passion for Spanish history and culture brought every location to life. Beyond his expertise, Alfonso is a true professional—punctual, accommodating, and attentive to every detail. Most importantly, he is a kind, warm-hearted individual who immediately puts you at ease. Spending time with him felt like being with an old friend, and we truly appreciated his thoughtful approach throughout our journey. Alfonso was an integral part of what made our trip so special, and we already miss his company.

We have done many tours all over the world and Alfonso was unquestionably the best and most knowledgeable guide we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His ability to weave the history together between and among sites was exceptional. Alfonso was also flexible and very attentive to the interests and needs of the four of us. We were blessed to have had the opportunity to experience Madrid and its surroundings with Alfonso. Absolutely exceptional.

Alfonso is an amazing guide! My family and I loved him very much. He was so informed about all the places we visited and carried the enthusiasm I would hope for in a guide. It was clear he had great passion and expertise in the subject matter. If you are touring in Madrid pick Alfonso, you will not regret it

Alfonso is a fabulous tour guide - The tour itself was also great. Alfonso is extremely knowledgeable about Madrid which made the walking tour even better than I expected. The Royal Palace was incredible. The art worked in the Prado was amazing and Alfonso's appreciation, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the art and artists made the experience even better. I definitely recommend the tour with Alfonso. Also, make sure you ask Alfonso to recommend a local restaurant for a sit down lunch and have him join you!
