Personalized tour of Madrid

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour with Majo was lovely. The stories made the palace and cathedral very interesting and come alive. Since we were hungry we transformed our tour to a tapa tour! It was fun to learn about Spanish food and to get Majo's insights & knowledge on the menu options in Mercado de San Miguel and the tapas restaurants along the Cava Baja street. She also gave us lots of helpful information for after our tour!

Great experience

Great way to see Madrid and learn about its history Walking around with a local is a fun way to get your bearings with tips on restaurants and places to revisit

Great way to explore Madrid

Published on Nov, 2024

I had a thoroughly enjoyable morning with Julián, walking to some of Madrid’s most important sites as well as hidden treasures, such as the “cookie nuns,” and learning about history and culture along the way. Julián is a knowledgeable history buff with a charming sense of humor. He clearly loves and appreciates his city and sharing it with visitors.

Excellent Private Tour of the City of Madrid
