That was absolutely incredible. Our guide Maria was amazing. Everything what she was saying was very interesting and she also answered all of my questions. She also gave us a lot of useful tips in the end of excursion like where to go to eat, about cool bars etc. Generally it was an amazing experience.
Maria was very pleasant and knew a lot to tell, especially in the historical, cultural, architectural and artistic fields. She also gave many tips for local eateries and other sights. She was very involved with the group (6 people). A very nice and educational experience, we can absolutely recommend it!
Thank you so much
We received several confirmations about our tour that we had paid for -and then on the morning of the tour, we went to the prescribed meeting location and no one was there! I called the number and they said the tour had been canceled. No one bothered to tell us that!
Dear customer you were advised on time of the cancellation due to the heat wave.
It was very informative and the guide was amazing and very knowledgeable! We enjoyed the time it took to get a good overview.
Thank you so much
Maria was an excellent guide and made this tour such a great experience. She has a strong knowledge of Madrid’s history and did a wonderful job showing us both the main highlights and some smaller hidden gems we never would have found on our own. This tour was the perfect introduction to the city and really helped us get our bearings. We’re so glad we took it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Madrid.
Thank you so much, see you soon

Wonderful tour with Esme! She knows the city well, taught us so much about the history of Madrid & Spain and, added bonus, an art historian so educated us on the art and architecture as well. Also, very upbeat and found clean restrooms when needed. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much! Looking forward to see you back soon!!
