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.

Segovia is one of the most visited cities from Madrid, even for locals. Only a little bit more than an hour from Madrid was founded Segovia by the Romans and we conserve an astonishing aqueduct with 167 arches and almost 2000 years old. Apart of this UNESCO monument Segovia is worth it because of its charming streets and squares, the 'Lady of the Cathedrals', and the amazing Alcázar, a castle that would inspire Walt Disney for 'Snow White'. Despite discovering monuments and plazas, in Segovia we have the tempting opportunity of trying the best cochinillo (sucking pig) in Spain, in one of its old and traditional restaurants. But also the giant white beans (judiones), Castilian soup, the baby lamb or the always sweet dessert Ponche Segoviano. All of this with me as your host and traveling from Madrid in a Grand Class private Van or car hired with a driver. Believe me if I tell you, as a former actor, that this is one of the greatest stages to fly with your imagination. My purpose is to ignite that spark.
We went via a private van with a driver and with Gonzalo as our guide. Segovia is not a place you want to miss, and Gonzalo was great. He was well informed and eager to share his love of Segovia. We had a great day in Segovia. You will enjoy this tour and your time with Gonzalo. Thank you!
Great tour! Gonzalo is a fantastic guide to show you the most interesting places and even took us to a local restaurant to try the amazing food. Highly recommend.
Gonzalo was friendly and very informative. We had a great time.
Gonzalo's tour of Segovia was a very informative and enjoyable day. He was very accommodating to all of our needs.
- Departing from Madrid, you hotel or other place, by car or private van. - Mirador San Marcos (magical viewpoint of the Castle), a perfect picture. - Roman Aqueduct, an impressive experience. - Walking through the streets of Segovia. - The 'Lady of the Cathedrals', outside and inside. - Alcázar (castle), maybe we can bump into Isabela the Catholic Queen inside this gorgeous building. - Lunch in a traditional restaurant, delicious gastronomy. - Finishing in Madrid, your hotel or spot for your convenience. *The order can vary and don't hesitate to contact me for a customized tour. *

By a hired car or van (Grand Class Mercedes Benz) with driver from Madrid and walking tour inside Segovia. If you would like to travel to Segovia like a local by the high speed train, ask me and I will create a customized tour for you with another price.
