Olé Amigos! I'm a professional guide, licensed tour manager born in the city of Madrid. I previously lived and worked in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Tel Aviv & 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. 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 & 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. -IATM (International Association of Tour Managers). -EFR (Emergency First Response, Primary and Secondary Care CPR/First Aid). -Images used on my tours are licensed by Spanish Ministry of Tourism - tourspain.es DISCLAIMER: The contents exposed during the tours are of common knowledge or else the guide´s own research on the matter.

An UNESCO World Heritage Site, see the city at your own pace with a guide and learn about the city's rich architectural and religious history. In this day trip we will see the ancient city and its architecture, exciting palaces, synagogues, museums, churches and of course the old roman Aqueduct and the great Alcazar. What can you expect? A deep interpretation of the city and the legacy of the jewish community that was once key part of its history and culture. Segovia is full of misteries and magical esoteric stories. Emotional and historical, one of those places the 3 cultures shared life together in middle ages you can't miss! I've been raised in a jewish home and have learned Kabbalah at Rabi's Michael Laitman school in Israel. I will love to share this magical city with you and my traveller's notice it: "Pepe is a wonder individual with an excellent fund of knowledge and seemed to enjoy his work. He was able to provide information that could not be easily gotten from books" Join me in this gem tour!
Overall this was one of the best days of our vacation. Pepe has a natural gift for bringing history to life, and during our drive from Madrid to Segovia he gave us a fascinating overview of Spanish history, using present day analogies that made the past feel relatable. Walking through Segovia was fascinating, and we ended the tour with an authentic Renaissance lunch before being driven back to Madrid. We would definitely work with Pepe again.
Tour muy completo, recomendado para hacerlo desde Madrid y volver acompañado.
What a fantastic tour! The Roman aqueducts are huge and an engineering marvel. This town is steeped in history including beautiful vistas and a hilltop castle. Pepe’s knowledge on everything is amazing. He thinks of every detail and knows of the best restaurant and bakery. Do yourself a favor and take this tour!
Pepe is one of the top tour guides we have ever had the pleasure of working with. His grasp of history, specifically Spanish history, is second to none. We were looking forward to our day trip to Segovia but he made it ten times better than we even expected. He is an excellent driver, very personable and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.
WOW!!! Made the perfect choice when we booked Pepe for our tour. He is smart, easy to speak with and filled with historical knowledge of every place we toured. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Pepe and HIGHLY recommend him for a magical time in Segovia.
What a day! We learned so much and had such a great time. To top it all off, we had a wonderful lunch with Pepe. He is a great tour guide!
