Segovia Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

(3 reviews)

Born in Segovia. I am an official tour guide of Castille and Leon, mainly in Segovia and surrounding villages. Everytime I happen to walk in Segovia I feel like a tourist, yet with the knowledge of history of every corner of the city. It's easy to fall in love with Segovia being a World Heritage Site, having one of the most impressive Roman Aqueducts, a generous number of Romanesque churches, the last Gothic-style Spanish Cathedral and the Alcázar and much much more to discover. On top of I really enrich myself exchanging knowledge with different cultures, which I believe it makes the visit more joyful and interesting.

Being a guide for me is more than a job; Being able to show the culture, history and art of this country is something that I am passionate about, being the bridge between my country and the people who visit it. I discovered this profession almost ten years ago and since then I know that my future is here.

Ignacio alvaro M.

Hello there, I'm Ignacio, your guide to the vibrant tapestry of Madrid's culture and history and nearby cities. I was born and raised right here in this captivating city, and it's not just my home; it's my heart and soul. My journey into the world of art and history began with a profound love for both. I hold degrees in Fine Arts and Art History, and for the past ten years, I've had the privilege of being an official tour guide. Through my work, I've had the pleasure of unlocking the treasures of the Prado Museum and its incredible collections, strolling through the enchanting streets of Madrid, peeling back the layers of history in Toledo, understanding the hidden meanings of modern art at the Reina Sofia Museum and offering an exclusive glimpse into the grandeur of the Royal Palace. But my passion for art extends far beyond my professional life. I'm also a painter and photographer, and I infuse my tours with a unique artistic perspective. For fifteen years, I served as a Creative Director in the world of advertising, a role that allowed me to express my creativity in new and exciting ways. And then there's my love for horses. It's not just a hobby; it's a deep-rooted passion. I lead thrilling equestrian journeys through the breathtaking Sierra de Madrid, where the bond between man and horse takes center stage. Across these mountains, I also may lead you into El Escorial, Avila, and Segovia, where history, art, and nature meet. When you join me on a tour, you're not just exploring art and history; you're discovering it through the eyes of a true Madrileño. My dedication, love, and intimate knowledge of my country ensure that your experience will be unforgettable. Come, let me be your guide to the heart and soul of Madrid, and nearby locations, where art, history, and passion come together in a way that's bound to leave a lasting impression.

I find it very interesting, that the final customers select the guide of their choice, depending on their presentation, feedbacks, or any other features to be taken into consideration such as the tour description, its originality, the languages spoken, the guide's personal and professional experience and so on. It also gives me the chance to design a tour according to my own personal experience of over 25 years, to make customers happy at the right pace.

“Amazing private walking tour of Segovia”

Francisco was the perfect tour guide for our day trip to Segovia. He is a local, so he knows all there is to know about Segovia, its history and all the surrounding villages. Everything was perfect, including his communication prior to booking, his tips and directions on how to get to Segovia from Madrid on the train, his excellent recommendations for breakfast and lunch, and help securing reservations for an amazing lunch. The tour itself was just what we wanted… a casual walk through the village, with excellent commentary and background about the rich history of Segovia and the surrounding area. He took as to all the best sites and showed us all the best views, offering inside knowledge along the way. He was very flexible and customized the tour to our needs. In addition, his English is clear and easy to understand, and he was patient to help us with our limited Spanish comprehension. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer and book more tours with Francisco, as there is so much history and culture to see in the surrounding area, and Francisco is the perfect guide to show it to us. We hope to be back, spend more time with Francisco in the future. Thank for, Francisco, for an amazing time in Segovia!
