      The Perfect Introduction to Madrid

      "From the moment we booked our tour weeks before arriving in Madrid, Maria was outstanding. She communicated with us before our trip, happily answering questions about the city and helping us feel excited about our visit. The evening before our tour she checked in to reconfirm the time and meeting point, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our morning with Maria was simply wonderful. She has the perfect balance of warmth, light humour and an incredible depth of knowledge about Madrid’s history and culture. At the start of the tour she explained what we would be seeing and checked that it matched what we were hoping to experience, making the whole morning feel very personalised. One of the unexpected highlights was a visit to a fantastic local food market. As someone who loves great produce and local cuisine, I absolutely loved this little detour. It gave us a real insight into everyday Madrid and was one of my favourite parts of the tour. Maria was also very considerate of the summer heat, pacing the walk well and making sure we were comfortable throughout. She is incredibly easy to spend time with—you feel more like you’re exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a formal tour. We learnt so much about Madrid, its history, its people and its culture. By the end of the morning we had already decided that three days in Madrid simply isn’t enough we’ll definitely be back. Best of all, Maria set us up perfectly for the rest of our stay with great recommendations, so we could make the most of our remaining time in the city. This was exactly the introduction to Madrid we had hoped for. If we return, we would choose Maria again without hesitation. Highly recommended."

      Wonderful experience with Egle!

      "We had an incredible experience exploring Madrid with Egle! Traveling with three young children can be challenging, but she was so patient, kind, and accommodating with our family of five. She set the perfect pace for us, keeping everyone engaged without ever making us feel rushed. Egle has such a warm, positive attitude, and her enthusiasm for Madrid made the tour both fun and informative. We visited so many wonderful places and learned so much while still feeling relaxed and able to enjoy the city. If you’re considering a tour, don’t hesitate to book with Egle. you would be lucky to spend the day with her. We are so grateful for such a fantastic introduction to Madrid!"

      Fun, Passionate and Knowledgeable

      "Piero is one of the best guides I’ve had and certainly the most entertaining. This is not a run of the mill tour with facts about every stop on the tour. It is fun cultural facts and history intertwined together with much interaction his guests. Piero is native to Madrid and clearly loves his city. On top of the entertaining tour, Piero practically provided a whole guide book worth of information via WhatsApp, and his recommendations were well received on our visit. In short, having taken dozens of tours all around the world, I would strongly encourage anyone to choose Piero unless you are really looking for a facts only tour. "

      More Than a City Tour

      "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."
