Hello, my name is Fernando, I was born and raised in Madrid and I have always been passionate about history and art. That is why almost ten years ago I decided to become a guide, to be able to share my love for Madrid with the whole world. Cultural visits are my favorite to offer, but of course, I also love showing the gastronomic culture of my city to everyone. I am passionate about meeting people from all over the world and that is why I am always studying new languages. I also travel as much as I can to get to know other places and cultures. I look forward to helping you find the perfect experience during your stay in Madrid. If you have any questions or want to adapt my visits to your personal needs, do not hesitate to ask me. I love creating new experiences! - Certified official tour guide - Graduated Tour Guide by the Superior School of Tourism in Madrid - Certificate in Advanced English by Cambridge University I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
