A fun morning exploring Madrid - The guide was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed her explanations about the different neighborhoods I visited. I had never been to the Financial District, the Salamanca district or Las Ventas, and I appreciated the differences between the neighborhoods, especially Salamanca. Next time I return to Madrid, I'll stay in the Salamanca district to understand it even better.

Fantastic Christmas tour of Madrid - Fantastic experience in the center of Madrid. I recommend this tour if it is your first day of stay in the city. Madrid is not only the historic center but also has more neighborhoods that are very interesting as well. Carmen took us, apart from the old town, to the Financial Center of the city, where the famous Santiago Bernabeu stadium is located, we also went to the Salamanca neighborhood where we walked and saw the Christmas decorations, we could walk and see the exclusive shops of that beautiful neighborhood. Our last stop was in Las Ventas where we could take pictures in the bullring. At the end, Carmen gave us recommendations of restaurants and tapas bars to go later to eat on our own. I totally recommend this tour if you want to see a more total Madrid.

Walking Tour Of Old Madrid - Spent a few days visiting Madrid at the beginning of February. Due to time scale we pre booked this tour prior to arrival in Madrid. Downloading tickets was easy and clear instructions were provided. Carmen was our guide and it was wonderful seeing someone so passionate about their city as well as being so knowledgeable. It made a lovely change to see other parts of Madrid and not just the tourist bits. We would highly recommend this tour.

A great way to spend 3 hours. - Just back from a whistle stop trip to Madrid (2 nights). One of our tours was with Carmen and was of the old section of Madrid. Having had other tours during our stay it was lovely to see the 'not so busy' parts of Madrid. Carmen has a great knowledge and is very passionate about her city. Asking questions was no problem and we had plenty of them and got answers to them all. I would highly recommend this tour and next time, will make sure we have a full day and include the tapas part as well.
