"With years of art study, Elena was an exceptionally engaging guide through the Prado offering details that we would have missed. Her insights both both the art and his to navigate a museum of this size were tremendous! "
"We are so grateful for this time. Iker did an amazing job setting the context for the art over time, the societal expression, the significance of art pieces and a joy and fascination both for the artistic talent and artistic expression. We feel like we got so much from the tour. Even my teenager liked it and felt it was so much better going with him and really diving into some pieces vs going on our own and not understanding much.
Iker is a heart filled person who is a joy to meet and gives insights into the Spanish culture. We visited the Palace the next day and it was cool how much of what he shared informed that visit also. "
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Edgar! He provided excellent tips for sites to visit in Madrid over the next few days and shared fascinating anecdotes and curiosities about the places we explored."
"María is a knowledgeable and delightful tour guide. My daughter and I had a great time learning about the history of the art movements and how they were influenced by Spanish and European history. Maria encouraged us to see the works we already knew and loved and introduced us to new artists who have become new favorites. I can’t recommend this tour enough!"

Ari is the best, we loved our 10 tastings!
"Our first full day in Madrid! Ari was such an amazing host. We have traveled through Europe and this was our first visit to Madrid. She was kind, easy to follow, and so personable - we highly recommend her for any of her tours! She loves her home town of Madrid and knows her local dining and shops! Thank you, Ariadna! You made our first day so memorable! "
"Victor did a great job of tailoring the tour to our interests. He was informative on not only local sites but culture as well, which made the tour more interesting. He asked for feedback on what we wanted to see and what we could skip. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Victor."
"We had an amazing walking tour in Madrid with Egle through WithLocals! She gave our group of five a fantastic introduction to the city—full of history, local tips, and hidden gems. Egle went above and beyond to make the experience personal and memorable. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Madrid!"
"We had a great time exploring Chueca and Justicia with Mateo. He showed us the neighborhood and gave us a lot of interesting information about the history, architecture and daily life of the places. We went into interesting shops (chocolate! magic!), looked into hidden courtyards and had great conversations about life, music and the people of this part of the city. We know Madrid quite well, as we visit the city every year, but Mateo showed us a lot of things we did not know so far - 100% recommendable!"
"Victor was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge and passion for art and history was contagious! My son and I enjoyed the 2 hour tour. We would not have gotten nearly as much out of the museum if we had tried to navigate ourselves. I highly recommend Victor - he is kind, funny, and wicked smart!"
