Great guide

Published on Jan, 2025

The best thing was the guide. She knew so much about Spanish history and told stories in such a wonderful way which really made the tour

Parting was Such Sorrow

Published on Dec, 2024

This was one of the best and most informative tours we have had in Madrid! Maria was excellent, professional, and very knowledgeable. We could have followed her around all day. The worst part of the trip was when we had to leave our guide, Maria. Highly recommend and would definitely do again to retain more of the plethora of information.

Knowledgeable guide provided an excellent walking tour.

Published on Dec, 2024

Maria, our guide, was a knowledgeable expert, able to tell us about the history of Old Madrid and how things came to be the way they are today. An excellent way to spend two hours!

Amazing Walking Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing walking tour! Our guide, Maria, went above and beyond, making Madrid truly come alive. Would recommend to everyone who wants to explore the city.

Good intro to Madrid

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent walking tour of the historical area of Madrid. Maria really knew her history and was enthusiastic to share it with us. Comfortable walking shoes are a must though. Also, not a tour for little kids, since it is heavy on historical details, and they would be completely bored.
