Walking with a City Expert - Sergio was great and amazingly knowledgeable. Come prepared to walk a lot but you’ll really have a sense of the city and its history when you’re done.

The Best Guide to Discover Madrid - We had the absolute pleasure of joining a walking tour of Madrid with Flo today, and she was truly outstanding! From the moment the tour began, Flo’s passion for the city shone through. She is incredibly knowledgeable, weaving together history, culture, and fun anecdotes in a way that made every stop come alive. What impressed us most was how welcoming and patient she was—happily answering all of our questions and even sharing extra tips and recommendations for places to eat, visit, and enjoy beyond the tour itself. Her enthusiasm made the experience not only informative but also so much fun. Thanks to Flo, we left with a much deeper appreciation for Madrid and some wonderful ideas to keep exploring on our own. We couldn’t recommend her more highly—she’s a fantastic guide and made our time here unforgettable!

So beautiful! - Very interesting. Saw so much. Lots of history. Little difficult to hear our guide at times due to protest and an event occuring. Small group was very appreciated (. 4 couples). Wear very comfortable shoes.
