Do not miss this tour- Incredibly helpful for first time visitors to Spajn - Exceptional tour of Old Madrid with Jake. His knowledge of Spanish history was incredible and this tour has perfectly framed our whole trip to Spain. His tour is thoughtful and very engaging. It was very hot on the day of our tour and he factored in water stops and toilet breaks for the group. Best tour I've done in my 3 trips to Europe.

See both classic and more hidden monuments and traces of the city’s past with a lovely articulate and well-informed guide. Great way to get oriented and get a feel for the city below the surface of the tourist vibe.

Great tour - Our tour guide Jose was excellent. Very knowledgeable . Happy to take questions. Mindful of our circumstances - it was very hot during our tour! I’m certain he could have spoken to us for hours more about his city. Money well spent.
