Wonderful time! - Julio is a wonderful guide which I can recommend with all my heart. He took his time to get to know me (I booked a private tour) and to then cater the tour to my preferences. He knew so many little details and interesting stories at basically every corner that no regular tourist guide has time to provide. His English is impeccable but after hearing that I used to live in Madrid for a few months some 30 years ago he offered to do the tour in Spanish ( I booked English) which I gladly accepted, but he switched easily to English when I was a bit "lost". I had a really, really great evening that ended with a drink ( my request, my treat, not! included in the tour offer). Hasta la proxima, Julio 💛

Great walking tour of Hidden Madrid - Víctor is very knowledgeable and offered a great deal of wisdom of Madrid and all the sites he showed us throughout the city. He pointed out things and brought us to places we never would have noticed or seen on our own. He is passionate about history and ensuring we left his company with a greater understanding of the history of this area.

Madrid today from a local - Patricia gives the history and experience of living in Madrid from a local perspective. We really liked the niche neighborhoods we visited and the insights that were a break from all of the ancient Spain history that you get on mos of the other tours. Great conclusion to our Madrid visit!!

Fabulous tour! Highly recommended!! - Our guide Mateo was fantastic!! He took us to where locals eat and hangout. We also went to some really interesting art galleries and gave us a great history lesson about the city as we were walking. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want something different from the usual tourist destinations. He was so good we invited him to have lunch with us.

A wonderful discovery of charming Madrid neighborhoods - My friend and I were visiting Madrid and hoping to get a feel for the different neighborhoods. Maria could not have been better! She understand just what we wanted and had wonderful anecdotes about the culture and history of Madrid that enriched our experience. She guided us through colorful neighborhoods, always sensitive to our needs and timing. I will definitely contact her again the next time we are come to Madrid and happily recommend her to others!
