"Ari was super helpful in giving us a great overview of Madrid while also including wonderful local tastings. She also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time
In the city! Highly recommend!"
"We loved spending time with Patricia, having a couple of drinks and delicious bites as she told us a bit more about Spain and its history. She is a wonderful host. Would highly recommend. "
"We had a brilliant history walking tour with Beatriz! She kept us captivated for 3 hours on a very warm Monday evening, both us parents and our 16 and 13 year olds. She brought a wide range of Madrid's history to life - using different spots around the city as starting points for fascinating insights and vignettes that left us all feeling we understood Madrid and Spain much better. She was particularly brilliant and engaging our teenagers in conversation, and showing the contemporary relevance of what she was telling us. Highly recommend. "
"Iker was the gift. As a committed student of the Prado’s artworks, the knowledge and insights he shared with our family group was critical to our understanding and appreciating the art we were experiencing. We weren’t just looking, we were learning. Iker made our visit truly unique and unforgettable. Book him now. If you can!"
"Ari was a great personal tour guide to traditional local food and history!
We had great conversation about life in Spain and regional foods, which was great given I’m moving to northern Spain this year.
She’s friendly, funny, and gave great recommendations for the rest of my time in Madrid. "
"We had a wonderful experience on our tour of the Prado Museum with Iker. He’s incredibly intelligent and impressively knowledgeable. He guided us through the museum’s most significant artworks, sharing their fascinating histories. It’s clear that Iker has dedicated a great deal of time to studying the art at the Prado. I would not hesitate to book a tour with him."
"
Our group had a highly enjoyable experience with Marianissa's tour. She led us to several outstanding food establishments that we would not have found as tourists.
We were so impressed by some of these locations that we revisited them a few days after the tour. During our walk, she imparted historical knowledge and provided recommendations on what attractions and activities to pursue during our stay in Madrid.

"Maria pointed out many details of paintings and sculptures we would have missed on our own. She answered our questions patiently and respected our slow pace. Excellent "
"Ari is friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Madrid in all of its aspects. We joined her for a food tour, having told her we were looking for "something different", having visited Madrid previously and been on previous food tours.
She quickly determined what we wanted and then delivered. This was so much more than a food tour though, as she put many things into a historical context which was very helpful.
The overall experience was very much like an interesting conversation along with a pleasant walk, interrupted for food tastings - Perfect.
We will be back and hope that Ari will again take us on an engaging tour of some description."
"My husband, two daughters and I spent 3 hours with Ari on a ten tasting tour. She was friendly, easy to talk to and had a wealth of information to share with us about Spain and Madrid history. We tried local food that we never would have thought to try if not for Ari's introduction. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with Ari and, if we return to Madrid, we would certainly book another outing with her."
