ABOUT ME
My name is José Enrique (or Jose, for short!). I am an official Tour Guide in Spain. I would love for you to get to know my hometown, Madrid.
​
Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself and my passion for guiding. I have always liked travelling and, since 2014, I have known that this is what I want to do for a living.
​
I began doing small roundtrips to the beautiful, historical cities that surround Madrid. Then to the rest of the capital cities, other towns and villages in Spain. The next step was Europe and I have visited, often more than once, Portugal, Italy, France, UK…
​
In every travel, I have been immersed in each place’s history, art, cuisine, and so on. One thing led to another, and I ended up preparing for and obtaining the qualifications to become an official tour guide!
