    I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Pelayo, was extremely knowledgeable, prepared and pleasant! He arrived early with map in hand… a must do!!

    Well Worth It

    Holly_B, Feb 2026
    The tour was a wonderful way to orient to Madrid. Our tour director, was born in Madrid and knew the history of Madrid and wove it into our tour. Due to the weather, we chose not to walk around a lot, he revised his tour to accommodate for us and give us a few added views. This is well worth your time, for sure.

    This was such a fun day! Antonio was absolutely incredible with his knowledge of Madrid, I was able to see the major points of interest in Madrid, very comfortable and at my own pace. Antonio gave me lots of recommendations on places that are worth exploring. Really great experience.

    A Perfect Introduction to Madrid

    Steven_S, Mar 2025
    This tour was a great introduction to Madrid. Antonio showed us so many beautiful sights, gave us many photo stops and provided us with tips for meals and entertainment. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

    Good experience

    Juan Carlos was wonderful, very polite and accommodating. He has excellent English. I would give 5 stars but I believe he probably needs to learn a bit more of the history because there were a few questions he couldn't answer.
