Hello! Let me briefly introduce myself. I'm half British and half Spaniard, fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I also speak good French. Traveling has always been my passion since I was a little kid, as my father worked for an American company, and I had the chance to travel to several countries. I've primarily lived in Spain, but also in France (Paris, the UK, and the US). I can speak English with both British and American accents. I had my first trip as a tour guide when I was 15, as my American family came to Spain, and I went with them to Madrid's old town, Segovia, Toledo, and El Escorial. I discovered I liked it a lot. I have been organizing private tours since then. I have a degree in Music (piano and musical language) and Geology. This latter allowed me to explain many facts about the landscape and even several historical facts about old towns like Toledo, Segovia, and Madrid. Geology is, surprisingly, pretty important to establish a settlement. Among other things I've done during my professional career, I had two restaurants and two small wineries, so food and wine have no secrets for me. I can humbly say I'm a good chef. I have been teaching how to cook Spanish cuisine to many people throughout my life, many of them foreigners. Wine production is an art, and I have been collaborating with several enologists to obtain high-quality wines. With this experience I would be able to teach you how to prepare genuine Spanish food, not to mention organizing visits to wineries and get a good understanding about how to produce good wines and how to taste them. Personalized tours are my best approach to obtaining a unique experience for tourists. Just in Madrid, there are a lot of unknown places, full of history and even anecdotes, that most people don't know, and will give you the best understanding of Spanish history and culture. Many other places around Madrid remain unknown to visitors, like the seven Romanic churches of Guadalajara (dated from the XII century), the "magical" and mystic canyon of Duratón river in Segovia, with vultures flying over the Templar hermitage built in the plateau over the river, the castles and fortresses that "El Cid Campeador" held in his exile from Castille to Valencia in the XI century, and many others. I'll be glad to offer you any possible personalized tour, in addition to the pre-built tours you'll see displayed here. Traveling is one of the best things we can do in this life, and having a local guide will help you to squeeze every little drop of your experience and make your trip unforgettable. Hope to see you soon! Degree in Geology from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 1981 Degree in Piano and Musical language from the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid (1982) None

Overview of your Madrid tour

Twice voted "Best Theme Park in the World" in Los Angeles in 2012 and in Orlando in 2014, Puy du Fou has rapidly built an international reputation and is now established as a world leader in the field of parks and shows. By creating its own shows, Puy du Fou has developed a culture of excellence in all areas. Even if you don't know much about the History of Spain, Puy du Fou will recreate it for you in a terrific way. With my expertise as a guide, you will enjoy one of the best Theme Parks in the world. It has many original creations. I don't want to spoil them because getting surprised is the best way to experience a unique mise-en-scene. The tour price includes private transportation by car from Madrid to Puy du Fou and back, entrance tickets including the "Emotion Pass" for not queuing in the shows. There are many places to have lunch, buy beverages and souvenirs. The Park is quite big, so walking is needed, although you can rent wheelchairs if necessary. It's a great place for both adults and kids.

Your Madrid tour itinerary

I will pick you up at an agreed meeting point in Madrid and drive you to Puy du Pou. There are 13 different shows repeated several times a day. My recommendation is the following: 1. - El Último Cantar: it recreates the quest of "El Cid Campeador", a famous knight from Castille who was exiled because of King Alphonse VI and conquered a Muslim kingdom in Valencia in the XI century. Absolutely great! 2. -El Misterio de Sorbaces: a representation of the conversion of the Visigoth King Recaredo to Christianism due to a miracle that happened in a village called "Sorbaces", with fighting knights on horseback and other shows. 3. - Allende la mar océana: you will feel how the expedition of Cristopher Columbus had to be. Very impressive. 4. - Cetrería de Reyes: an amazing falconry show 5. - A Pluma y Espada: the story of a playwriter in the XVI century, funny and entertaining. 6. - El Sueño de Toledo: the night show and the best of all. Simply astonishing. Driving back to Madrid. Itinerary is customizable
