Hola. Mi name is Alfonso. I am a passionate 32 years old guide from Madrid. I have been guiding for almost 7 years all over Spain and Portugal , giving different kinds of tours as both a local guide and tour leader. I have studied business and tourism and I have been professional athlete. WHY AM I GUIDING? Since I was a kid I have always loved knowing new places. I enjoy improvising within those new cities and discovering new places along the way. I am curious about everything. I consider myself to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, good listener, deep and open minded person. I am a people person. I love getting to know new people and learning from them. I love to travel anywhere and anyway. I have lived in Germany and I have worked and studied abroad in many different locations. When I had a surgery on my hip I had to stop playing sports and start from scratch. I began thinking "what do I like and what do I do well?". My friends would always ask me things like: Where should we go for dinner? Would you come with me to the Prado Museum ? Alfonso, How do we get to this place or that? I have always been interested in history, gastronomy and art : the roots of any place culture. The way we the humans interact with the environment. When thinking about my hobbies and these facts about myself I decided that guiding could be something that could appeal to me. Luckily for me, it worked out. Being a tour-guide is a lot being like a student. I am always studying new things, preparing new activities for the tours and learning from people I meet. I started guiding in the tricky city centre of Madrid and afterwords in other cities, museums, palaces etc. In my tours I love to show the real deal of the places we visit, to have local experiences and if possible to interact with locals. I don't like to ignore controversial topics. To go often off the beaten truck. I invite you to do a tour with me , I would be more than happy showing you my city. During a tour with me, we will learn from each other and our different backgrounds. I am flexible and able to customize tours. Thank you for your time reading this. - Official Guiding License - Toledo Cathedral and Toledo Monuments License - Tourism and Business Degree No restrictions

Standing on a rocky hill crowned by the cathedral and the turreted alcazar (fortified palace). Segovia is of ancient origin and was favored by the Romans, who built the aqueduct . Nevertheless, Segovia is much more than these 3 landmarks 98% of the visitor spend their visits at. Either If you have already visited those places on your own or you like to see something else besides the tourists routes, this is your kind of tour. When I travel I am always attracted by those areas where I can find myself in peace. This is what occurs to me when, as a local, I walk this town spots! We'll skip the crowded streets in order to discover the other "side" of Segovia: Knight - Templars Churches, secrets, amazing viewpoints to the Castle and the Valleys, we'll also learn about the Jewish background of this city by visiting a hidden Synagogue and the Jewish necropoli. We'll have the chance to walk by the river enjoying these landmarks while we hear the pleasant sound of the rushing water
