  • Royal Palace of Madrid - The heart of the Spanish Monarchy has a lot of significant stories behind it walls.
  • Catedral de Sta Maria la Real de la Almudena - Of course, we couldn’t skip this… The only different point is that we are going to have the best possible view of the Cathedral.
  • Church of St. Nicholas of the Servitas (San Nicolas de las Servitas) - This is one of the oldest churches in Madrid… And Saint Nicholas is someone you know.
  • Iglesia Catedral Castrense - This is the Army’s Cathedral, its square has story about murder, kings and queens.
  • Plaza de la Villa - This is one of the best place to contemplate how Madrid and Spain’s architecture has been changing though time since the 15th Century.
  • Plaza Mayor - This has been everything in Madrid’s history: the theatre, the marketplace… Even the bullring!
  • Plaza de Pontejos - Remember when there was no facebook? Well, this was the “wall” of the 15th Century.

Excellent small group tour - We had a great time with Stephania. It was just my husband and I. She was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the city of Madrid. It was just what we needed.

What was happening at the Palace?!?! - Our guide was fantastic, excellent English, great sense of humour combined with wonderful honesty. The Palace/King was evidently hosting a tremendous event so we loved the excitement that was creating. The headsets were a stroke of absolute genius, one didn’t miss a word - no matter how far behind one lagged! We could have happily toured for longer with our lovely guide.

La Puerta del Sol - An old town that won't make you frown. - My wife and I had the privilege. We received a guided tour of the old city of Madrid by Stefania. She was so respectful and compassionate. Her knowledge of how the old city came about is extensive. We learned about the kings and queens of Spain, cathedrals, the plazas, architectural contributions from Muslims and Europeans, and a couple of historical restaurants.

Great time - Belen was a fantastic guide. She is well educated and speaks English. Energetic and pleasant. Knows history and art history. We liked her so much that we ended up taking three tours with her. Walking tour, The Royal Palace and the Prado.

Nice little tour - Although it had been a very small group (in fact only me 🙃) it was a very nice tour, getting to know a lot of historical details but presented in an interesting and attracting way. Walking distance very easy, so highly recommended.

If you get Belen as a guide, you’ve hit the jackpot! - I ended up getting a private tour, as I was the only one signed up! Belén was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, and she made it all so interesting! She is in her element as a tour guide! Highly recommend!

Good walking tour - We wanted a tour that would provide some background on the history of Madrid and that would orient us to the central part of the city. This tour provided this and more. Our guide took us to major sites and also to some of the out-of-the-way places. Excellent.
