1/8/2026 Gwen and myself enjoyed a wonderful tour from Patricia Morcillo on Wednesday, January 7th. Her wealth of knowledge included Sol, The Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and much more. For nearly 3 hours we journeyed through the most important historics in Madrid. I’m confident that we learned a lot more because of the Tour from Patricia than previously known. I would recommend the tour to anyone! Bernie

Christmas walking Tour Madrid

Spent an amazing time on this Christmas walking tour in Madrid with Carolina. She was incredibly personable and clearly cared about making the experience meaningful, taking time to answer every question and share thoughtful context rather than rushing us from sight to sight. I learned a ton about the city’s history, architecture, Christmas spirit and everyday life, with plenty of great tips for food, neighborhoods, and what to see next. It felt more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend than being on a generic tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Great tour. Very informative and fun. Our guide Gonzala even stopped by a market stand and ordered us mulled wine in a souvenir mug with a sweet treat to enjoy along the journey. We learned so much about this great city. He knew all the best photo locations.

Response from Host, Dec 2023
