My name is Laura and I am a passionate official tour guide and I try to show visitors the essence of my place, the unique and memorable places. I've been working full time as a tour guide for over 8 years and I hope I can continue for many more. I am also a sworn translator and interpreter by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I have been travelling around the world to meet new people, to learn about new cultures and to be sure I can speak English in a bilingual way. Toledo holds a special place in my heart, it is my hometown. This is the place that made me who I am today and made me feel what I feel today when I go to work, when I walk around its narrow streets (where I used to play), around the Jewish quarter (where my grandma used to live and the place she had to be hidden in the Civil War), around the convent area (that quiet and fascinating area that surprises me every single day), when I cross the two stunning bridges we have and when I realize that to go to work is a pleasure. There is an indescribable charm about this town. That is why I am a proud official local guide of the beautiful City of the Three Cultures. This is the reason why I love to show visitors the important legacy we have in form of churches, synagogues and mosques. Let me show you the charm of Toledo. I am a very open minded person and I adapt and customize the tour to your specific needs and to anything you may be interested in. It will be a pleasure. Warm regards from the beautiful Toledo.

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.

Hi, I am Ahtasham, a licensed tour guide from Madrid. I speak English, Spanish and Hindi perfectly and have been working in the tourism industry for more than 15 years. Before coming to Spain I worked as a tour guide in India for English and Spanish speaking tourists. Later my love for Spanish language and culture brought me to Spain for further studies. After completing my studies here I acquired the OFFICIAL TOUR GUIDE LICENCE and have been working as tour guide in Spain since 2012. I am an extrovert by nature and love meeting people from around the world and of course share my knowledge of local culture with them. I live in Madrid and do tours in Madrid and nearby places like Toledo, Segovia, Avila, Cuenca, Salamanca etc. I like telling about history and the popular culture of the places and make my guests enjoy their stay. I like to treat my guests as friend so that really immerse in a fulfilling experience.

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.
