Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We spent the most amazing evening in Madrid with Íñigo, who shared so much about the city, its history and most importantly…its delicious food! Íñigo was so engaging and passionate about the city he grew up in. It was so interesting to get his perspective about life and culture in Madrid, in addition to its historical significance. He took us to a variety of restaurants and tavernas (don’t miss Taberna Angel Sierra!!) that all had unique, local character…and amazing food and drink. As we dined on delicious food and drink like boquerones in vinegar, tortillas, salmorejo and tartar de jamón Iberia, complemented with Spanish drinks like vermouth, cerbeza and wine, Íñigo educated us on the cultural significance of everything we ate and drank. I can’t recommend Íñigo enough. His passion for Madrid is unrivaled. If you’re ever in Madrid, do yourself a favor and book a tour with him. You won’t regret it!!"
"We had the most fabulous tour with Piero. He is both knowledgeable and passionate about Madrid. He took us to a range of bars and restaurants which were both authentic and outside of the 'tourist trap' places which we like to avoid. We enjoyed food and drink of Madrid which we we would not have discovered with out him and at each place he gave us a cultural & historical context. He has a great fun loving personality and fabulous sense of humour and as part of our tour he included fun unexpected activities. Piero truly loves Madrid, food and wine and this came though in everything that we did with him. Piero communicated well with me before the tour regarding the groups dietary needs and general interests and was thoughtful enough to bring a candle as we were celebrating a birthday. Piero was flexible according to our needs and interests and showed us a really good time. I have done a number of With Locals food & drink tours across Europe and this one with Piero has so far been the best one. If you are looking for a unique experience in Madrid and a guide who not only knows his stuff but also a lot of fun Piero is the man for you!! "
"Had a lovely time with Marianissa who took us around Madrid - learning about its history while being personal and very fun and easy going to hang out it with. Highly recommend you to do the same if you visit Madrid! "
"Carolina is highly recommended as a guide in Madrid. She really found some off the beaten path gems we would never have found. Carolina has a lovely personality and makes you feel comfortable in the time together. I would highly recommend Carolina for any tour she is connected with."
"Víctor is an allround lovely guy with such an obvious love for history and “his” town of Madrid (and surrounding cities) that it is contagious! He is a joy to be around, super knowledgeable, versatile and generous. I had a wonderful time with him that I will never forget. "
"Íñigo was an absolutely fantastic guide! He had a remarkable ability to engage our teenagers, which is no easy feat, and his knowledge of Madrid was truly impressive, a true local who loves his city. The highlight of the tour was when we stopped for coffee and he pulled out his guitar and played for us a magical, unexpected touch that showed just how multi-talented he is. He even played my Husband’s favorite song. If you’re visiting Madrid, book Íñigo without hesitation. He’ll make sure your tour is packed with culture, great food, and unforgettable music. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
"Beatriz did a very nice tour. I'm glad we booked with her."
"The experience with Laura was exceptional. We toured the Prada with her. Neither my husband or I are knowledgeable about art. Yet having toured Portugal and Spain were were interested in the art and how it related to the history we had learned. We appreciated moving through the Prado in historical perspective and saw the art of artists we had heard about. So I do recommend Laura for those interested in art."
"The experience of having Iker as a guide to the Prado was irreplaceable. We learned so much about the art and Madrid."
"Our afternoon with Inigo was the highlight of our stay in Madrid. The food was amazing, and we tried several options whose flavors we would not have found on our own. Most notably were the tortillas with potatoes and carmelized onions, and the fried squid sandwiches with aioli sauce. We also enjoyed sampling the Iberian pork. But most of all, the information and personalized touches provided by Inigo were what made the experience special. We would definitely recommend sampling the food and touring the neighborhoods with Inigo. "
