"Carolina did a great job at tailoring the tour to meet just what we were looking for - combining many of the City's major sights with parts of the city we would never have otherwise have seen or experienced.
Thank you Carolina, and we would have no hesitation in recommending you. "
"Inigo is a true gem of Madrid.
His knowledge of and passion for Madrid is unparalleled and he is the ultimate entertainer. What a beautiful experience and tour we had. Inigo was a delight and to top it off, he surprised us with playing guitar and singing.
You’re in for a treat if you book Inigo! You’ll have the best time! "

Things we would have missed
"Just Lisa and I on a generous 3+ hour walk with Julian in Madrid. Julian could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I won’t spoil it for others by itemising the hidden (truly hidden, and even false) gems we experienced and saw, but Julian was fantastic in explaining it all.
110/100 - thank you Julian.

"We had a wonderful history tour of Madrid with Piero. He was personable, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He clearly loves sharing “his Madrid” with travellers, as he incorporated some of his passions into the tour. He brought the city's history to life with fascinating stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. The tour was engaging, informative, and well-paced, making it one of the highlights of our visit to Madrid. I highly recommended touring with Piero to anyone wanting a fun and interesting tour of the city's rich history and culture."
"The Highlights & Hidden Gems tour gave us wonderful insight into the history and present-day features of Madrid. With his keen knowledge and warm disposition, Victor was able to fill us in on the history and backgrounds of the highlights we saw, as well as walk us through a few intriguing but hidden spots in the city that we would otherwise have missed. Enjoyed getting to know Madrid through Victor and this tour."
"Without tour guide Majo we enjoyed an exciting, informative and super friendly tour through Madrid with lots of information to history, culture and places to eat. We had the privilege of having a nice and flexible guide who took care of us having open and very interesting discussions about many subjects of historiy or of the present. "
"Piero was kind and welcoming from the start. He immediately engaged my two young children. Our walk through the city was very informative and entertaining. We had a wonderful time learning about the history of Madrid. My kids are 3 and 5 and they might have been a bit too young to enjoy this to it's full potential, however it will still fun and they loved the scavenger hunt along the way. Also, the bull fight for the kids was their favorite part! If you have children interested in history this would definitely be something to book for the family. I also highly recommend Peiro as a guide. We enjoyed his company along this tour. "
"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. "
