Hola!! My name is Gonzalo, and I am an official tour guide in Madrid. I also tour to everywhere that you need to discover surrounding Madrid: Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, El Escorial and Valley of the Fallen… I was born in Madrid, the capital of this amazing country. I was formerly an actor for 15 years (and I need to recognize that I am still a little bit of it). But then I decided to change my career, changing fictional stages to some of the best world and national heritages, and deciding that my new audience was going to be you! How many times am I guiding at the Royal Palace and I think: "Gonzalo, you are lucky, you work at the best office ever!"? I have been working as a local tour guide for 7 years now, delivering more than one thousand tours. Yes… I was busy… I think that the key is passion. Everything is about passion… I am a constant learner, autodidact freak, and probably my main passion is to learn new things, but the best part is to spread that knowledge. I love to communicate, trying to make easier and entertaining what seems to be difficult. I have found that history and art are both a challenge to understand people and societies, but also something fascinating that enrich our lives. I want you to not get overwhelmed at Prado Museum but seeing how history comes to life… I want you to feel like a King or Queen walking at theirs gardens in Retiro Park… Imagining how were the lifes in Toledo during the Middle Ages… Or recreating in your mind the tiny Arab citadel that was Madrid in its origins… As a good friend of mine told me once, when someone is receiving a relevant message, her eyes are shinning, and when I'm doing my work that's my main goal: that spark in your eyes. Official Tour Guide License of Madrid. Official Tour Guide License of Andalucía. Licensed Guide for Monumental Toledo and Primate Cathedral. Bachelor's degree for Guiding, Information and Tourist assistance. Dramatic Arts degree. I don't own a car. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Madrid tour
Are you ready to travel in time with mind, body, flavor and taste? History is culture. Food is culture. When I walk through Madrid's old quarters below the iron forge balconies, and I find in these some way enchanted narrow streets a group of people crowd together, I can imagine that behind them there is an entrance for a tavern. I cannot imagine Madrid in a different way, because that is Madrid!! Madrid is alive, is a vibrant city where we love to be outside, moving from one bar to another. Tasting our delicious foods and drinks. Croquetas, jamón, bravas, callos, cocido, tajadas, Rioja and Ribera wines, a perfect caña. . . . Mmmmm. . . This is our way to enjoy life and enjoy Madrid. In this tour I want you to get immersed in the culture of my beloved city. I want to tell you our amazing history walking through the old town combined with the visit of at least 3 old and authentic taverns. Really? Really, and real. Because this is what I want to show you: Madrid, real deal. Looking forward to be your host.
Your Madrid tour itinerary
We can start at your hotel (if it's close to the old town) or in Puerta del Sol. Then we walk through the most important places: Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace, Plaza de la Villa. . . But also we get 'lost' through narrow and not-main streets, because. . . We stop in at least 3 old taverns to have some tapas, drinks and fun!! (Important: the taverns are not always the same. That depends on your appetite and our flow. That is the real deal. )
