The day flew by - loved every minute of this tour. - My wife and I undertook this tour at the end of a month long visit to Spain. We were exhausted and could hardly muster the energy to find our way to the meeting point; however, once we met up with Andrea Velasco (our tour guide) and spent a few minutes listening to her description of what we were about to see, we felt re-energized and ready to go. Madrid is a magical place and any tour that visits important destinations will be worthwhile, what made this tour really special was Andrea's in-depth knowledge of her city and its history. Her passion and her love of Madrid was in full display, it was infectious and we loved every minute of our long walk through the narrow streets of the old city. I am sure every BABYLON TOUR is staffed with the same high caliber professional. This tour is a MUST.... don't miss it.

We would highly recommend this tour - Our guide Alex was brilliant. We only had four people in total on the tour which made for brilliant interaction with our guide who provided a brilliant backdrop to what we were seeing.
We would thoroughly recommend the tour, it left us with a far better understanding of the history of both Spain and Madrid itself
