This was our third tour with Pepe during our stay in Madrid and as fantastic as the other two. He drove us north to Ribera del Duero to visit two very different wineries, the first in the morning and the second after lunch. The first was a large, architectually-unique and innovative winery that is part of a seven winery group owned by the same family. The winery’s guide was only speaking Spanish, so Pepe translated as we toured. In the afternoon, he took us to a small, family-run winery that was equally interesting. The wines we tasted at both wineries were very good. In between the wineries, Pepe took us to a local restaurant for lunch, where we were able to enjoy one of the region’s specialities, roasted lamb, kind of the equivalent of roasted sucking pig. Overall, it was a great tour, which we would highly recommend, particularly for foodies who like wine.

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 1,900 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.

He was a wine expert on his own and showed two very different systems. Good stories and information while during the drive.
We had a fun and informative day with Pepe in the Ribera de los Dueros wine region, which we knew little about. He had a nice and comfortable vehicle and was an excellent driver for the trip from Madrid and back. His choice of wineries was excellent. We also had lunch is a lovely small town restaurant that had ancient wine caves beneath it. The food was delicious and he helped select a fantastic local wine to accompany it. Pepe also knew a lot about the next destination in our journey. We had fun getting to know him and to learn more about Spain in general. We highly recommend him!
We think that 510 characters is not enough to describe how good Pepe is at this job. He was punctual, had interesting locals-only intel to share, impressed with food and wine expertise, laughed at our dumb jokes, coached us through cultural nuances and flexibly maneuvered our short attention spans. We loved it. And Madrid.
Pepe is a great guide! We enjoyed our time with him!
We thoroughly enjoyed spending extra time with Pepe following our day-long trip to Toledo. This walking tour included stops at 6 different bars around Mardid for tastings and Tapas. Who,R we enjoyed some of the tastings more than others, the conversation was excellent and there did emerge an overall plan to the evening: from traditional to modern fare.
