Olé Amigos! I'm a professional guide, licensed tour manager born in the city of Madrid. I previously lived and worked in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Tel Aviv & San Sebastian for my food and wine career in michelin starred restaurants. I'm a chef and wine expert, so I feel passion about touring while caring for the "eating and drinking" factor. My somewhat nomadic lifestyle has given me a wide perspective of life, culture, history and the excitement of experiencing new destinations while enjoying and respecting local traditions. Apart from living in different countries and learning to adapt to different cultures, I keep traveling & have been a tourist myself many times. I love planning my excursions by my morning cup of coffee, always hungry to find new exciting local spots and stories that enrich my insider's insight. Perhaps you have been to Spain before and you are looking for something new? From my own travelling experience I know how important is to get to the best places avoiding being treated "like a tourist" or how tricky it can get finding that unforgettable wine cellar, having the right restaurant table or sitting at an intimate Flamenco "tablao". As a local, I already know all those special places and hidden corners, typical cafés, unknown museums and specialized stores - and I will be more than happy to share my learnings with you. I will tell you plenty of curious anecdotes about where we are walking by, what are we tasting or contemplating at. During your stay, I will be the Spaniard that hosts you, your family and friends, and I will organize for you the visits tailored to your needs and at your own pace so you can enjoy the most of it. -IATM (International Association of Tour Managers). -EFR (Emergency First Response, Primary and Secondary Care CPR/First Aid). -Images used on my tours are licensed by Spanish Ministry of Tourism - tourspain.es DISCLAIMER: The contents exposed during the tours are of common knowledge or else the guide´s own research on the matter.

Jewish Toledo. An UNESCO World Heritage Site, see the city at your own pace with a guide and learn about the city's rich architectural and religious history. In this day trip we will see the ancient city and its exciting palaces, synagogues, museums, churches and of course El Greco's masterpieces. What can you expect? Toledo is full of misteries and magical esoteric stories, also known as the occidental Jerusalem. Emotional and historical, one of those places deeply rooted and linked to Holy land you cannot miss. I have been raised in a jewish home and have learned Kabbalah at Rabi's Michael Laitman school in Israel. I will love to share this magical city with you. What travellers like the most about this experience is in their words: ". . . Pepe throws his heart and soul into his tours, sharing with us the history of Toledo. His special knowledge of the Jewish heritage, point out little known or overlooked artifacts that made this one of the most memorable tours . . . " I wait for you!
Pepe is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Toledo. He is very friendly and easy to understand. He also was very helpful in accommodating our needs since one in our group had walking issues necessitating use of a cane. We would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Pepe’s extremely knowledgeable and we felt like we had a private tour with a history professor! He was extremely patient and answered all of our questions — very patient and fun to walk around with.
Pepe was amazing! We toured with him for two days and loved our time with him! We would highly recommend!!!! He made our trip to Madrid !
Tour was complete and guide was really informstive
Pepe-A was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Jewish history. Even though we were managing an extremely hot day he was thoughtful about keeping us comfortable and making it the best experience possible. He’s a special person with a big heart! Shalom Pepe-A!
Pepe A. was the best guide and just what I was looking for. I researched others who were not Jewish but had knowledge of this area. His take was superb. My brother & I have 4% Iberian Peninsula in our blood and our mother has 9% . Her grandfather was from Monastir, Turkey (Sephardic who's native tongue on his immigration papers was Spanish even after 400 years) He immigrated to Texas in 1906. The assumption was that his ancestors walked the streets of Toledo. I just wanted to do the same. Thank you Pepe A.
