Olé Amigos! I'm a professional guide, licensed tour manager born in the city of Madrid. I have 15 years of experience and I previously lived and worked in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Tel Aviv and 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. With over 1,850 private tours delivered and more than 850 traveler reviews, I am one of the most experienced guides on the ToursByLocals platform worldwide and the leading guide in Madrid. In 2025, I was honored with the ToursByLocals Golden Guide Career Award for outstanding performance. 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 and I 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. I have a small fleet of luxury vehicles and can get various quality size vehicles for different size groups.

Pepe was such a breath of fresh air . We had booked several different guides over the course of our Spanish holiday and Pepe was by far the most engaging, articulate , knowledgeable and fun. His English was impeccable and his delivery was so interesting . He occasionally used an iPad with great effect to explain a historical point or describe something that needed a visual prop - so good. It was a cold and rainy day but we were all so glad we did the tour with Pepe .
Our group loved this tour with Pepe! It was a perfect start to our first day in Madrid. Pepe is a great story teller. We loved his history knowledge and especially appreciated his humor. You won't be disappointed choosing Pepe!
Pepe makes history come alive with this wonderful tour! Also, at our impromptu request, he treated us to an introduction to some of the wonders of Spanish cuisine at a local market.

Pepe is an absolutely fantastic guide. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about Madrid and shows you such a different perspective than the usual tours. We were so engaged and learned so much and if you're interested in something different he is so knowledgeable about Jewish heritage as well. I hope to see a news Pepe again very soon.
