Get to know the hidden Madrid

Enrique was a terrific guide. Knowledgeable and a good storyteller to boot. We learned so much and saw so many off the beaten path places in Madrid. It made us feel like we had a good friend showing us his Madrid.

Great Tour of Madrid

The guide had deep knowledge of Madrid and informed us well about where to eat. He led us around to historic places and told us what happened there. Definitely we got to learn how to get around the city.

Off the Beaten Path

Enrique was an amazing guide. You can tell he is very passionate about Madrid and it’s history. We are so glad we took the off the beaten path tour because we got to experience Madrid the way locals do. We will definitely book with him again! He also has GREAT recommendations for things to do, places to eat (including things to try), and where to shop.

Thank you, thank you, was a real pleasure to have the chance to show you what we like to call "the other side" of Madrid. Please, come back to Madrid some other time! Best Regards

Good tour

Good tour. We got what we expected. The guide was good. It's a lot of walking and the day was very hot so it was a bit and but definitely worthwhile.

The best guide in Madrid, no doubt!

Fully recommended, in fact we repeat it whenever we can. The Kike guide is a cascade of knowledge that contextualizes, explains and brings to life the characters of the story for their greater understanding. As a guide like this, it is normal that people are passionate about history and more if they are from your city.

Hidden Corners of Madrid: Private Walking Tour

Excellent tour. Fabulous passionate knowledgeable local guide who went above and beyond to make the tour interesting. We are four oldies and we walked for 18km and loved every minute including our calamari roll at a short break. The tour was a bit expensive but worth every cent. It was nice to have some 'personal' time with the guide and not struggling to hear in a big group. Highly recommend doing this tour.

Great tour of old and newer parts of Madrid

Enrique was a great guide with lots of historical information of old and new. Instead of just showing us the old buildings, he also showed us how more recently Madrid has built up and changed, on top of or around history. It was a refreshing break from more cathedrals and ancient walls. We enjoyed seeing the grittier “punk rock” area. Also some great architecture examples of various styles. He also showed us tapas and cocktails. He was engaging. It was also great that he met us at our hotel so we didn’t have to find him somewhere. And we were on a tight schedule and he was very accommodating about changing our start time to fit our schedule. Overall a worthwhile tour!

Thank you for sharing so many details that you found exciting and we are happy we could break the monotony of sightseeing routine. Warm regards, Natalia

It was definitely a great way to see...

<p>It was definitely a great way to see some smaller neighborhoods and things that most tourists don't get to see! Definitely a highlight was going into the San Antonio de los Alemanes church - it's like a small version of the Sistine Chapel!! Amazing!</p>
