¡Hola fellow travelers! I welcome you to Madrid. My name is Kwame (some call me Juan), your guide in Madrid. I consider myself to be friendly, and professional and I love interacting, meeting, and talking with people from around the world. I've always thought that getting to know different cultures brings us together and makes us grow. I've lived in the UK for 15 years, London and Bristol mainly, and I have worked as a tour guide in Barcelona for 2 years, but my tours are offered currently in Madrid where I've lived for the past 3 years. Madrid is a very welcoming city with a vibrant spirit and a love for the outdoors. You can be sure that my tours will be serious, professional, and informative but also very enjoyable. Come discover Madrid with me and I assure you that you will never forget this incredible city. My experience comes from my time in the UK (Bristol) where I started giving free walking tours of Banksy, and then Barcelona where I was providing the Gaudi Experience city tours. No credentials are needed to work in Madrid as a guide. - As a non licensed guide I will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments. - I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. -My tours are only provided in English and Spanish

History Hidden in Plain Sight

From the city's colonial past and transatlantic connections to the lives of enslaved Africans, free Black communities, and today’s Afro-Spanish voices, this tour brings forgotten stories back to life—right where they happened. Led by a knowledgeable local guide passionate about history and social justice, you’ll visit key landmarks and hidden corners that connect Madrid to Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
