Outstanding Madrid walking tour - It was our first time visiting Madrid and the walking tour with Sergio was one of the highlights of the trip. Sergio was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Madrid and kept the group engaged with his stories and fun facts about the city. The tour moved at a steady pace and 2 and 1/2 hours went by very quickly! I would highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get Sergio as your guide - you will not be disappointed!!
