I started out being a tour guide 20 years ago, since then I have travelled around the world, I have visited places on the 5 continents diving into the culture of exotic countries and I realized that being guided by a local is the way to explore by first hand a new city. I experienced by myself what everyone of us expects when being guided. I have been so many times a tourist like everyone else when travelling.

Overview of your Madrid tour

We will start the tour at the most "castizo" quarter in Madrid, La Latina, where I grew up. Meanwhile strolling the old Madrid, we will get our way to three different taverns, where I usually go, to enjoy the typical "Tapas" meanwhile having a drink, as we, the "madrileños" do, in a friendly, remarkable and funny tour. Sharing food, drinks and laughs all together, as if you were a local is the way to dive into the roots of this historical tradition that make the society of Madrid being that opened and different. That's the perfect alibi to chat about our daily problems as we get relaxed and cheerful. You need to experience "salir de tapas" to understand our way of life. I spent a lot of money and time in my life, since I was a child, hanging around Madrid, enjoying the evenings and nights. I am the perfect person for this tour. Stop searching, I am your guide. **Tour is not available on Saturday and Sunday due to high crowded.
