Really good!

zelayavictoryahoocom, Dec 2025

Great knowledge on everything (I guess that comes with him being Madrid born and raised) extremely friendly!

Nice tour and tour guide but no tapas

Claudia_S, Sep 2025

The tour guide was lovely and knowledgable and I would recommend the tour, however, the tour was advertised as including a tapas tasting, but there was no tapas.

Not good

Anders_S, Sep 2023

None…the guide wasn’t very good, the guide wasn’t inspirational, the weather was poring rain and the park itself rather boring

Wine and tapas were not included in the tour time.

Jillian_P, Jul 2022

The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the park but in the description of the tour wine and tapas were included. The wine and tapas were not included during the tour but rather you must go to a different location and show your ticket to get the wine and tapas after the tour was completed.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Jillian_P we are sorry for the misunderstanding, when you book the experience you can see in the information that the tapas are taken in a restaurant and are not part of the Retiro tour but are taken afterwards. sorry for the misunderstanding, Regards

Best and Most Informative Tour of Madrid

I had such an amazing day with Irene. She was so knowledgeable about the history of Spain and was so patient with me keeping up. She made me want to stay and study the Spanish History. It was indeed rewarding and refreshing for there were so many fascinating true stories she told. I give this tour 2 thumps up! A definite must do when visiting Spain! Thanks again for all my awesome pictures you took for me!
