Local Guides in Madrid and Barcelona Recommendations

Good morning,
I am very excited on my travel plans to visit Spain for the very first time in April 2024. I will be seeking lots of advise from you all in the next coming weeks and months.
I love this group and always get good advice. I am looking at hotels and places to visit at the moment and I want to use guides on this trip.
We ( 2 couples) will be in Madrid April 17-20 and would like to hire a guide for a few hours one of these days. I feel they would be way more organized and we would learn the history and meaning of what we see.
I would also like to here a guide when we are in Barcelona 24-28 for a few hours one day.

Any recommendations appreciated and please share your experiences

Gracias :)
Pat

Last year in Madrid we hired Jackie Metitieri through Tours by Locals (sorry that is the only contact info I have) for a tour of the Prado. She made it come to life (and we had been there twice before!). If you want some fun do a food tour. We used both Devour Tours in Madrid (they are ini Barcelona as well) and The Barcelona Taste for a tapas tour in Barcelona.
