"Edgard is like a big brother that will take care of everything you need while in the city and outside the city of excursions. I can't imagine a trip in Madrid without him. We practically spend the whole week with our family of 4. We went to Avila, Royal Palace, Prago museum, The El Buen Park, Toledo, Grand Via, La Latina cultural food tour and many more places. He has a van and takes care of everything you need. "
"We spent the day with Marianissa. She took my family of 4 around the city and interacted with my kids. She helped him find his Real Madrid items and new soccer shoes. Its like having a big sister taking you around town when you visit. We went to dinner and she recommended an awesome steak place. "
"I couldn't recommend Julio enough. He was so personable it made the whole experience really comfortable. He started out with giving us a map and circled the different neighborhoods so that we were comfortable and had a good baseline understanding of the city which was really nice to orient ourselves. He was so knowledgeable and showed us really fun things about the city. Knew a lot about history but didn't make it complicated. Things I would never have known. I would highly recommend. Our tour did not come with a snack or drink but was supposed to? Otherwise it was perfect!"

Amazing Tour Guide
"Victor is terrific. He moves at a good pace and is well-versed in art history. More importantly, he is a very good teacher and explainer. We recommend him highly. "
"Victor was very knowledgeable guide. He explained really well about Madrid and Spain history. He is a cool person, and we really enjoyed his company."
"We had a wonderful, informative tour with Majo in Madrid. She was super helpful explaining the history and context of the places she brought us to. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a great overview of Madrid. "
"Our 10 Tastings of Madrid tour with Marianissa was an absolute delight! From the moment we met her, her warm personality and deep knowledge of Madrid’s food scene made the experience both fun and engaging. She took us to incredible local spots—some hidden gems we never would have found on our own.
Marianissa not only introduced us to amazing flavors but also shared fascinating stories behind each dish, giving us a real taste of Madrid’s culture and history. Her passion for food and the city was contagious, and she made sure we had a fantastic time from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a fun, delicious, and well-organized food tour, this is it! Thank you, Marianissa, for making our Madrid adventure so memorable! Highly recommend!"
"We enjoyed a terrific Prado tour with Majo. Our family members are not art experts, but Majo made the Prado come alive with her insights. Highly recommend. "
"Our family has travelled a fair amount, and used many guides in many cities. Maria is literally the best guide we have ever had. She has guided us on multiple trips to Madrid, and we have sent friends to her as well.
She is very knowledgeable on the history, art, and culture of Spain and especially Madrid.
She is also an attentive guide paying attention to the needs of our various elderly and young family members and making adjustments (bathroom, snack, break…) as needed.
Her recommendations for restaurants, Flamenco, shopping, and other sites to visit have all been excellent."

Ari is the best
"We’ve done food tours all over the world, and already before in Madrid, so we’ve got solid reference to say that Ari is one of the best. Well informed, eloquent, and above all a very warm and friendly personality. We’ll be back Ari!
