Experience Day trips in the best of
Madrid with Withlocals

"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."

"Carolina was absolutely fabulous as our guide. She was polite, friendly and very knowledgeable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. "

"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…"

"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."

"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! "

"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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"Piero was so kind, warm, knowledgeable, fun, and funny! He added special “extras” at three different points throughout the tour that made this the most wonderful and memorable tour any of us had ever been on. Piero is so delightful, he had us stopping at different and unique places that not every mainstream tour would take you on. We all learned so much about Madrid and Spain in general. We can’t recommend Piero enough. The best. Truly.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼"

"Piero is the type of person you hope to stay friends with forever. From the moment we first met, his energy and charisma made us feel like we never wanted the day to end. His vast knowledge of the history of Madrid was imparted in a way that was relatable, fun, and memorable. He not only related well to adults, but equally as well to my 16 and 20 year olds who thoroughly enjoyed the tour as much as we did. He is creative, full of authentic ebullience, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with learning all about Madrid. Scheduling a tour with Piero is the best possible way to get to know his beautiful city. "

"Víctor was absolutely wonderful on our tour. His knowledge of history, architecture, culture, and all things Madrid – related was exemplary. His enthusiasm was also wonderful. Highly recommend!"
