Fantastic - 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.

OGO tours are the best - 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.

Good decision. - 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.

Fascinating visit with the best guide - Our visit with Javier was incredible!!! He is charming, transmits passion for what he does and makes you curious to want to continue delving into a lot of topics. We did the Madrid of the Austrias with him and we were fascinated with his cultural level and his excellent ability to transmit knowledge. We would have been listening to him for hours and hours. Thank you for your kindness, sympathy and good work Javier!!

Quality private walking tour of Madrid - Sorry I had forgotten our guide's name, but he was a wealth of knowledge about Madrid and both it historical and cultural developments. No question was left unanswered. This was a private tour and he tailored the tour to suit our interest and the pace of the tour. The tour placed all important geographical and historical aspects into perspective which assisted in our future exploration of the city. The distance was not taxing and could take breaks when needed
