Traveler reviews
Great intro to Madrid!
Guide was excellent. Meeting place was easy to find and he communicated well. Tour gave us interesting history of Madrid. Would definitely recommend.
Madrid comes alive with Michele’s wonderful walk through the old town.
Michele was very entertaining ànd used great props to make history come alive interweaving facts ànd figures with great food recommendations ànd anecdotes about people from today’s society ànd also yesteryear to make us all excited and fascinated about what we were seeing.
Highly recommend Tour!
A very interesting and diverse tour with a really friendly and enthusiastic guide. You could tell that he genuinely enjoys doing these tours. The tour took us to various interesting places, with plenty of useful information and great tips along the way. At the end, we received a file containing recommendations for restaurants and other helpful tips. Highly recommended!
Great Guide - Chato
A great walking tour. Our guide was Chato who clearly loves his city, his enthusiasm was as impressive as his knowledge. We didn't know a great deal about Madrid before going there but now we know much more. This is a free tour but a tip is expected (only right). It's suggested that €15pp is about right but it's actually worth more than that. The company does several different tours, some of which we wouldn't have minded also doing if we'd had a bit more time.
The information
The guide is a genius, very explanatory and very knowledgeable
