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 is the best. Very fun, informative and interesting walking tour of Madrid. He tirelessly answered my endless questions and gave us a locals perspective of life in Madrid. The meals after the walking tour were superb. Highly, highly recommend.

If you like history, Pepe is a fantastic guide to the city. In 5 hours, we covered so much of Madrid by foot, learned a ton, and left feeling like we understood the city so much better. Great lunch spot too!

Pepe was perfect for our group. He could dive deep into details about anything we asked but also helped give the big picture overview. He kept the tour light and fun. Recommend!

Pepe was absolutely could not have been more attentive to my group if he tried. All I had to do was mention “we are hoping to have Ramen for lunch.” The next thing I know, he has taken the initiative to divert us away from the “tourist trap” dinner reservations we booked and he got us in with the most delicious local restaurants. He also brought my kids to the home of Real Madrid which wasn’t even on the itinerary! He’s a gem!

We had a great time with Pepe in Madrid! His love of the city is contagious. He took us to the main sites and some non-touristy locations as well. We learned so much about Madrid and Spanish history, and Pepe adapted the tour to our interests. Highly recommend!!
