Madrid with Withlocals

"Elena was the perfect host, so much so that by the end of the trip, we all felt we had known her for years! She had great knowledge and insight into all the features of Madrid that we had expressed an interest in; art, culture, architecture and boutique streets. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you so much Elena!! "

"We started our vacation in Madrid with Drica giving us a food tour. It was a perfect start to our trip - the walking helped with our jet lag and sampling Madrid cuisine was great! Drica was patient and very helpful in guiding our granddaughter through vegetarian and vegan options. My wife and I are not that familiar with vegetarian and vegan foods, it was so reassuring for our granddaughter to have Drica’s guidance!!"

"Drica was fantastic and very knowledgeable during the tour. We enjoyed delicious food and tapas, and she shared the history of La Latina as we walked. She was very kind, and we had a great time! "

"Drica met us on a busy corner in Madrid for what would turn out to be a highlight of our trip to Spain. We walked up and down the city streets and relished in the variety of examples of street art that she pointed out. Our son really enjoyed hearing the background stories and we loved having an 'insiders' understanding of the street art scene all thanks to Drica. The tour was well paced and very educational and fun. Being in the neighborhood/gallery was a wonderful way to experience Madrid's alt art scene. We highly recommend this tour!"

"We had a terrific time tasting cheeses and vermouth, veggies and even gluten free churros with Drica who was full of helpful and interesting information about Madrid’s culture and art and neighborhoods. She was flexible with our various requirements and unphased by all our questions! Highly recommend. "

"We loved our off the beaten track tour of Madrid. Very interesting and we saw places we wouldn’t have seen by ourselves Julian was fun and kept the whole tour very interesting. He also recommended lovely restaurants. "

"we had a truly great day with Drica doing the cooltural tour of street art and some tapas. It was 100% what we could hope for. Lavapies is an interesting lively neighborhood, lots of streetart and cool places and Drica really knows everything, from artists and back stories to hidden gems like the community garden with street art and some tapas in the charming neighborhood market. A truly wow day for us. "

"We had a great time exploring Chueca and Justicia with Mateo. He showed us the neighborhood and gave us a lot of interesting information about the history, architecture and daily life of the places. We went into interesting shops (chocolate! magic!), looked into hidden courtyards and had great conversations about life, music and the people of this part of the city. We know Madrid quite well, as we visit the city every year, but Mateo showed us a lot of things we did not know so far - 100% recommendable!"

"We were a group of 6 British adults who had been to Madrid before staying and visiting in central Madrid. Our time with Julian was a neighbourhood off the beaten track tour and it didn’t disappoint. Interesting buildings monuments churches best tapas bars and bakeries were all part of the tour! Julian was well informed providing excellent commentary throughout our tour. At our request we had short pit stops for a glass sherry and some delicious famous pastries. Julian was a charming guide and we enjoyed our experience very much. "

"Julian is lovely. A very friendly kind personality with a vast knowledge of the history of Spain and particularly Madrid. We had a rainy day so he adjusted the tour accordingly and we had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Highly recommended!"
