Hi Bob, thanks for the splendid review. It was delightful to have you and Deb on the tour. Thanks for participating with curiosity and asking many great questions. The highlight has to be the acting that Deb gave us! We hope you enjoy your time in Spain and Portugal. Tío Tours.

What an amazing way to get to know Madrid. Tio Tours is highly recommended, and I left far more in tune with the city than when I arrived.

Nick has got to be the best tour guide in Madrid!!

Janet_S, Oct 2025

Our guide Nick was very enthusiastic and conveyed a true love for Madrid. Nick was kind, engaged and extremely knowledgeable. We shared many laughs and learned secrets only a local would know. If you are lucky you too can hold the umbrella!
