I'm Jose, a professional guide from Madrid, Spain, with over 20 years of experience. Fully qualified and officially certified, I've dedicated my career to guiding visitors through Madrid, Castilla y León, and major Spanish landmarks, including the Royal Palace and the UNESCO sites of Toledo and beyond. I enjoy meeting people from all backgrounds and pride myself on respect, patience, and adaptability for guests of all ages and abilities—including families, children, and travelers with special needs. A published author of over 15 guidebooks and audio guides, I'm passionate about art, history, architecture, classic movies, sports, and local cuisine. While not a sommelier, I’m an enthusiastic wine and beer lover with formal tasting training in Spain. My tours offer rich, memorable experiences, blending culture, food, and personal stories, tailored to your interests. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, flexible, and friendly local guide ready to share Madrid’s best art, history, and mouthwatering food, I look forward to meeting you and making your Spanish adventure unforgettable!
