Hi everybody! I am Rubén, guru from Madrid ;), I am 26 years old, I like to be named Rubens, I consider myself a genuine "cat"(autochthonous person from Madrid). I am a funny guy, I consider myself close to people and I love to exchange opinions with travelers, since they can bring you experiences without having traveled outside of Madrid. I have traveled in Europe and that has helped me a little to love this work, because in every corner there is always a story to tell and I think Madrid is a perfect city to teach all kinds of tours. It is a city full of life where everyone feels at home, for me is the best city in Spain and one of the best in the world. I have experience as a local guide, but I have a lot of passion about my work and I like to teach and explain events, for me it is the ideal job. That's why I think being able to work in my own city of something I like as a local guide is a privilege.
