A great walking tour of old Madrid - David was a terrific guide! He was engaging and informative, and we learned so much about the history of Madrid. The walking tour was fairly easy. We covered a good amount of ground in 2.5 hours, but it wasn’t too athletic. Toured several historic neighborhoods. David gave us inside info that locals know about where to go for a meal or for entertainment. We have been on many guided tours in different countries and this was one of the best.

Great Tour/Guide - This was a great tour. When we booked it we didn't realize that we had down a similar tour several weeks earlier but our guide, Sergio, did a great job of changing the itinerary to show us things we hadn't already seen and added a lot of cultural information on top of the history. Sergio was bright, articulate and spoke excellent English and made the tour very worthwhile.

Riveting tour—didn’t want it to end! - Rarely has a tour guide so captivated his listeners: Jake was exceptional! His love of Madrid and knowledge of its history (and its food and flamenco!) helped me fall in love with Madrid.
