Lexi is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this tour!!! If you want to learn something new, have a good laugh, and meet a new friend on the ground, then this tour is for you. I literally cannot say enough wonderful things about this tour. I have been on many tours in many city and this was by far my favorite. This is a small business that provides a quality product. If you don’t know if this tour is for you let me tell you now — it is. Book it. You won’t regret it. Even if you hate history and walking (which would be a wild choice to be reading this review) I would still tell you to book it. The resources that Lexi will provide you will blow your mind and make your trip in Spain so much easier to navigate.

Too much talk and not enough walk. This tour would be more interesting if you got to see more. The guide would talk for a long time and then move you a short distance and then talk again for a long time. A lot of standing in the heat. Would not recommend unless you have a keen desire to know the early history of Madrid and not see much. The guide is very nice, friendly and certainly knows her history.

Nice but too long, the tour guide is amazing and very informative, I like the way that we started the tour and the city secrete

Walking tour through old Madrid - excellent narrative of the history of Madrid with explanations of how the city developed.

Booked this tour because reviews were good but we were quite disappointed. Directions to the meeting points on Viator were misleading. The tour guide Lexi was trying to be entertaining, talked too much describing some weird stories without providing much factual information. We took other tours in Madrid and felt the difference.

Lexi was fantastic and went far beyond the call of duty. She gave us a link to her map which has loads of her favorite places to eat and drink. I have already put it to good use. Thanks Lexi!

Lexi was so enthusiastic, clearly loves the city, and revealed the many secrets of Madrid. She made the tour unique, and went above and beyond by providing even more things after the tour. Highly recommended.

What a great way to start our trip to Madrid. Lexi is charismatic in her presentation of the history of Madrid. Her energy is infectious and her stories of each area we visited were so engaging. I have been on many walking tours of cities, Lexi is the best by far. She is engaging and the way she presents the history keeps you engaged the whole tour. She also shared her recommendations on places to eat and other things to do while in Madrid and other surrounding towns.
Julia_S, Sep 2025
I am so glad we found this tour. Lexi was an engaging story teller and full of information. She brought the history of Madrid to life. Not your typical tour. We now wish we had more time in this wonderful city to explore.
Kelly_B, Sep 2025

Incredible tour! Lexi is a world class storyteller. Her knowledge as a university educated expert on Spanish history is great but combined with her passion for Madrid is what makes this an unbelievable experience. Loved this tour so much! Truly a gem.
Emmanuel_F, Sep 2025
It was a very informative experience, heard stories i knew nothing about. I would be recommending to friends and family
Kevin_G, Jul 2025
Lexi was awesome. She was passionate and knowledgeable and made the whole tour fun. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Madrid. I wish we would have done this a few days earlier to have better perspective of the places we had seen. I would suggest making this one of your first activities when you get to Madrid.

Lexi was both personable and knowledgable! The tour was interesting and was. Great overview of Madrid
damocab, Jun 2025
Lexi is a brilliant tour guide and I would recommend any friend or family member to do her tour if they came to Madrid. The tour explains Madrid, its people, history and architecture, etc. I came away feeling informed and with recommendations on what else to see in the city and where to eat.
Randolph_M, Jun 2025
This was a very well done introduction to Madrid from a knowledgeable and good natured guide. Fun and interesting. Highly recommended!
Calder_W, May 2025
Lexi was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city of Madrid. We were able to get a good feel about the city and see places we would have never found. It gave a lot of context to what we saw the following days and was a great way to start our trip

Lexi's tour was our first one in Spain and our absolute favorite. Lexis brings so much passion and excitement to the tour that really helps you learn about the history that makes Madrid such a unique city. The tour was also just the right length. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.
Vicki_S, Mar 2025
If you want to understand Madrid in a way you'll never forget, and only have time for one walking tour, take this one! I learned and saw so much and loved every bit. Plus great recommendations for places to see and eat.
Sharon_F, Jan 2025
Lexi is a true storytelling genius! She brought history to life in such a vivid and captivating way that I completely lost track of time—2.5 hours felt like moments. Lexi’s mum … You’ve truly raised an exceptional storyteller with an incredible gift!
Peter_B, Jan 2025
Great walking tour with a lot of information and background stories. We walked through the oldest part of Madrid and I would do additional tours with Lexi in others areas of the city. Would highly recommend!
Megan_T, Nov 2024
