About Tour Guide Piero C.

100% "gato" at heart and rabidly passionate about Madrid and Spain.

I started my tour “PIERO’S FAMOUS TOUR” in 2017 as a way to introduce my city to the many friends who kept visiting from abroad. Always praised as: "very good fun", "immersive", "diverse", "dynamic", and "extraordinarily off the beaten tourist path" — I kept nurturing it each time with more information and experiences. Unaware of my own hidden potential, I watched word spread — and with it, I found myself increasingly possessed by the "duende" of my country and its culture.

An immersive, one-of-a-kind journey through Madrid and Spain's history, culture, and traditions — engaging all your senses: taste, sight, smell, touch... a full blown experience.


I've also extended into an exclusive Tapas Tour, diving deep into the gastronomic soul of Spain through its most iconic and beloved bites.

MY VALUES

Politically incorrect (in the best possible way). I stick to history, using plain words, direct messages, and — of course — a lot of humour.


¡Viva España!
