Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We were a group of four on our first day in Madrid, my wife and I are 25-year-old daughter and her boyfriend. To say that we had fun, is to say that the sun is bright and hot in Madrid in July. Pierre is so full of energy and love for his city. We could’ve spent days touring with him. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the history of Spain and particularly bull fighting ( and know that a toreador does not fight a bull). We shared vermouth, sherry, wine, and beer with pinxtos, croquettes, calamari sandwiches, tortillas, patatas bravas all in small or historical places we would never have found on our own. Pierre provided us with so many tips for the rest of our stay that we will be taking advantage of. I would like to tell you more, but I might ruin some surprises. He has in store for you. Don’t think about it book your tour with Piero now."
"We had a great time with Ariadna on the Madrid tasting tour. She was very accommodating from the start, including adjusting the menu around our food restrictions without any issues. What I liked the most was that it never felt like a traditional tour. It felt like spending a few hours with a local who genuinely enjoys sharing her city. We’ve been to Spain before and thought we knew Madrid pretty well, but she gave us a completely different perspective. She explained the history behind many of the tapas, the neighborhoods, and the traditions, adding context that made everything much more interesting. The pace was relaxed, which we really appreciated. She sat with us while we enjoyed the food, answered all of our questions, and the conversation just flowed naturally. If you’re looking for an authentic way to experience Madrid, I would definitely recommend Ariadna. "
"This was one of our highlights of our trip. Ariadna was perfect, providing the right mix of history and information not just about the food but about Madrid as well. She was willing to accommodate any dietary preferences (though we don’t understand taking a food tour and then restricting it to the same things you always eat or know you like/dislike). We never felt rushed, left feeling like we were friends and with full bellies. We would absolutely recommend Ari 100% to anyone."
"What a way to jumpstart our trip in Madrid; a walking tour with Victor! His knowledge, and passion for the city ignited our trip! He provided so many insights and set the tone for a memorable trip in Madrid! We feel like we made a forever friend- until next time, Victor and Madrid…"
"We had a blast, would recommend! "
"I booked Carolina for a spontaneous 3-hour private walking tour in Madrid during some free time on a business trip, and it turned out to be a wonderful break from an otherwise hectic schedule. Although I have been to Madrid several times for business and thought I knew the city reasonably well, Carolina opened my eyes to completely new and charming neighbourhoods that I would never have discovered on my own. Her knowledge of the city is impressive, and she has a wonderful way of bringing Madrid to life through entertaining, quirky and fascinating stories. Carolina is not only highly knowledgeable but also an intelligent, observant and engaging guide who quickly adapts the tour to your interests. The three hours flew by, and I left with a much deeper understanding of Madrid's culture, history and local character. I can highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for an authentic, insightful and enjoyable experience in Madrid. Whether it is your first visit or your tenth, she will show you a side of the city you have probably never seen before."
"Drica was an incredible guide through the Reina Sofia. She helped us to understand the stories of the artists, their lives and styles, as well as contextualize the art with the history of Spain. Her 2 hour tour flew by and we lingered even longer in the museum after the tour. We really felt like we were experiencing Spain, as opposed to just walking through a museum. The tour culminated with the breathtaking Guernica and it felt like the conclusion of a story. It was both moving and inspirational. We will not hesitate to book further tours with Drica the next time we are in Spain. It was a wonderful afternoon."
"Ari have us a wonderful walking tour , history and yummy bites, lovely to have a local guide point out the small things we would never have noticed. gracias Ari! Best to you for the future ❤️"
"We absolutely loved our time with Drica! She knows so much about art, we loved our del Prado tour. We had a lot of questions and she was able to answer all. I wish the tour was longer, would have loved to see more. Highly recommend her!"
"We had a truly wonderful experience with Govi. She was knowledgeable, patient, friendly and fun. We would highly recommend her!"
