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 900 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.

Did try more local establishments for a variety of Tapas. Pepe knew his food and where to go for the best individual dishes and wine. He was engaging and we learnt a lot of interesting facts. Would recommend Pepe for future tours and a unique experience.

What a great tour this was! I could have done this several evenings in a row! Pepe clearly is knowledgeable about food and not just in Madrid. I got to try several different places and foods, some of the best I had in Madrid. I had some of the best calamari in my life, to be sure! I particularly loved getting to know a little of the history behind the food, why dinner is so late, the difference between jamón ibérico and prosciutto, tinto de verano vs. sangría, etc. im getting hungry again just describing it! Thank you, Pepe!

He found all these local restaurants that knew him well and served us the most interesting food and wine. We discussed options before the tour and all worked out great.

Highly highly recommend this tour and especially this guide. We have done food tours all over the world and this was by far the best. Felt more like an evening with a good friend than a guide. We went to 5 different stops, all very different from one another. Food and drinks were true local experience and more than plenty of everything. Thank you Pepe for an amazing evening !!!
