This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on! Tatiana was an amazing tour guide! She was pleasant, well spoken, extremely knowledgeable about Spain and Madrid, and fun to be with! We would highly recommend her as a tour guide for anybody booking in Madrid!
Amazing tour. Very impressed. Guide very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Tatiana was truly amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to walk the city with! She made our time in Madrid truly light up!

Tour date: (Wednesday) 4 December 2024 at 10:45 with Titiana from Puerta del Sol. She was our guide for 3 hours. She was clear, interesting and fun. Her knowledge of the area was excellent on customs, culture, history, politics and geography. Highly recommended.
Nice and enjoyable tour of the center of Madrid. Javier makes the visit entertaining and very interesting. Your explanation is simple and engaging. We really enjoyed the experience. The group was very small. Thank you.
We had an amazing informative and entertaining tour of old Madrid with Tatiana. She was a delightful guide who led us through the history of Madrid via its architecture. She was energetic and provided a wonderful 2 1/2 tour. We would go again in a heartbeat.
I had already done this experience about 5 years ago with another company, and this time with a family member who had not visited for more than 20 years we decided to choose to do this activity to take advantage of the afternoon, the truth is that it was a right decision. We had Javier as our guide and we only have words of gratitude for his didactic work and the enthusiasm he shows in explaining everything in detail, even with images that help you better understand the history of the city. If you don't do this type of excursion, you will probably miss out on seeing many interesting things about the city and knowing what was happening in some of its enclaves. Don't hesitate to contact them.
Javier has a knowledge of Madrid history that engages from the first moment. We really liked his closeness during the tour. If we have to recommend, we will recommend Ogo Tours without hesitation.
An almost private tour with Javier was very professional, we loved everything he taught us, to repeat. Javier, thank you!!! Greetings from some Navarros.
