Best Tour in Madrid—Lidia Brings It to Life - If you’re looking for something unique and memorable to do in Madrid, Madrid Oscuro: Torture, Ghosts, Crimes and Legends is an absolute must—especially if you get Lidia as your guide. She was hands down the best guide we’ve had on this entire trip. Lidia is an incredible storyteller—she doesn’t just rattle off facts, she brings everything to life in a way that keeps you completely locked in. Somehow she managed to keep both of our teenagers fully engaged the entire time (which says a lot), and my wife and I were just as into it. She’s clearly super knowledgeable, but what really sets her apart is how fun and interesting she makes everything. The pacing, the energy, the way she builds suspense—it all just works. It felt less like a tour and more like being pulled into a series of fascinating stories around the city. We’ve done a lot of tours, and this one—with Lidia—was easily our favorite so far. Highly recommend.

Mysteries and ghosts with Jacqui - Jacqui did the tour in addition to very theatricalized didactic, is a guide with great interpretative qualities that help a lot to energize the explanations. A 10 for her.

The best free mystery tour in Madrid - Of the best free tours I've ever done. Rodrigo is fantastic! He has made us laugh a lot and at the same time you can see that he enjoys doing his job. It has been a pleasure to know the mysteries and paranormal events of your hand. I will repeat again on my next visit to Madrid without a doubt!

Very Interesting. Book the tour - Jackie started the tour off with giving an overview of what we would see for 6 sites and some ideal locations. They were very informative with some lf the history of the city, with the haunted church, the information on the executioner, information about the monastery and how some of the nuns lived and we typed it pretty well to where we were able to see some of the processions as they started at the monastery. The views there were absolutely great and perfect for taking pictures. The last 2 sites were great for a murder mystery and articles from that time were great to use. I would highly recommend having her as a tour guide again without a doubt

Magic Madrid - Very interesting tour with a guide, Jaqueline Giannini, good and passionate about unusual and unknown stories and tales. Jaqueline provided us with precise historical references, but also current films that tell some of these tragic and magical stories. In short, if you want to discover a secret Madrid, join the free walk tour with Guruwalk and with Jaqueline.
