The tour guide was a decent man, willing to answer all the questions the best way possible.
Overall, i enjoyed the experience.
Jake did a great job of telling us about Spain's history as it related to the development of downtown
David was our guide and he was fantastic. So much knowledge and what a lovely human being. We learned a lot and had a lot of laughs. Totally recommend!!
Mitch was our tour guide and provided us with an excellent experience.
Our tour started at 11:00 a.m. and ended at 2:15 p.m., which provided us with enough time to walk important landmarks in the city of Madrid.
Mitch was an excellent tour guide, with an excellent understanding of Madrid's ancient history, culture and religious context over a thousand years.
Mitch spoke multiple languages with a great sense of humor, and he enjoys enteracting with people.
Thank you Mitch for a wonderful experience which I will remember to tell my friends and family about for years to come.
I would take this tour again without hesitation!
Mich was an excellent guide. He took us through the plazas and neighborhoods with so much history and tidbits not heard on other tours. He brought these places to life with storytelling and a dose of humor. Not to mention he gave many recommendations for restaurants and other places to visit while in Madrid. Highly recommend.
This was a great tour. When we booked it we didn't realize that we had down a similar tour several weeks earlier but our guide, Sergio, did a great job of changing the itinerary to show us things we hadn't already seen and added a lot of cultural information on top of the history. Sergio was bright, articulate and spoke excellent English and made the tour very worthwhile.
David is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and helpful with additional information requests. The tour is a great way to learn about the historic background of Madrid and get your bearings for future navigation of central Madrid.
Sergio J was an awesome guide. He was really knowledgeable and mixed in some humor with the history. Fun tour!
Our guide, David, was excellent. It is such a wonderful experience to have a certified and local guide.
Our tour guide was Michele. He was excellent, knowledgeable, very friendly, he made the tour very enjoyable. The weather was very wet when we started, lashing rain with thunder and lightening!!! but Michele still managed to take us past this and the weather improved and was sunny by the end. He also recommended places to eat - and sent on this info afterwards. I always recommend people start their holiday with a tour like this- to set the scene of the city and gain some local insights. Tour was perfect duration- covered off the main areas, gave us info on past and symbols etc within being overly heavy. Would definitely recommend and you will be lucky if you get Michele who was top class.
Alphonso was a terrific guide - friendly; passionate about art, culture and history; and helpful. He provided great insights on local culture, answered questions and provided good recommendations for local tapas places. We tried one place and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Informative and enjoyable morning with Sergio our guide. Very interesting tour and enjoyed by all our group
The guide was awesome. Very funny and knowledgeable. Very well organized. Not too long and not too short
Jaime was simply brilliant! He speaks excellent English with a well-projected voice, has a wonderful sense of humor, and is incredibly knowledgeable and widely educated. His deep and thorough understanding of the subject is truly impressive, but what makes him exceptional is his genuine enthusiasm and passion for what he does. He doesn’t just enjoy sharing information—he is also genuinely interested in our questions and is always ready to expand the content of the tour based on our curiosity.
Exploring with such a talented guide was an absolute pleasure. We highly recommend this tour!
David was very good and thorough in helping us understand the history of Madrid and Spain. It was a very informative tour.
David was engaging and informative… loved the tour and would highly recommend as an introduction to the beautiful city of Madrid
Isabella was very knowledgeable and gave a great history of the city. Tour was a nice pace. She even gave great recommendations for more things to do throughout Spain and places to re visit in Madrid.
Fantastic and Ana M did a really good job explaining the city. She is very knowledgeable and can feel her passion and love for the city, it’s very impressive tour.
Learning the history of the Royal Palace and Pablo giving us a tour of the famous pastry shops!
Also the Mercado San Miguel was a treat.
Jaime was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. He was able to answer all our questions while also making it fun for everyone.
