"Iker waited like a scholar ready to help us on our artistic journey. We were lucky that the crowds were minimal on our November visit. We absolutely had the best opportunity to explore the meaning of Hieronymus Bosch‘s Garden of Earthly Delights. His presentation of El Lavatorio was unforgettable. Overall an amazing tour and well worth it"

Great Intro Tour
"Two years ago my family of 4 did a walking tour with Julian. I thought it was so great that I booked with him again when I returned to Madrid with my dad and sister. Julian is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Madrid, and the 90 min walking tour is a great way to get acquainted with the city. "
"Maria was an absolute gem! One of the best gifts we gave ourselves on this trip was our afternoon with her. We learned so much about the history of Spain - from architecture to art to royalty (even the funny and quirky bits!). This tour helped us develop a mental framework of the history of the country and guided our priorities for the remainder of our trip. She even took the time to provide us with guidance for our specific interests at the end of our tour to help us gain the most out of our time in Madrid. We are so thankful for Maria and will be sending everyone we know her way!"

Private & Personalized Tours in Madrid with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Madrid, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Madrid spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Madrid.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Madrid, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Madrid awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Madrid, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Madrid. Get ready to explore like a local!
"Julian was an excellent host and guide. He tailored the plan well, paced the tour well and fitted in a huge amount. Lots of interesting local knowledge that the guide books didnt have. Overall an excellent experience, thankyou."
"We have done many museum tours across many countries, but none stacked up to the amazing tour done with Elena. Wow, wow, wow! We learnt so much, but in a easygoing and engaging way, and Elena was beyond fantastic. Don’t think about it: book this tour, and book it with Elena!!!"

An amazing tour around the Prado
"Our tour with Govi was so fun and informative. The time flew by as Govi showed us all of the wonderful art and informed us on all of the amazing history. The tour was personal and fun, and we got to fully engage with the art thanks to her expertise and knowledge. Would definitely book again."
