Even better than the paid for tour - Felix, not like the Cat was amazing! We had a small group which made it intimate and personal. We walked through the city streets and seen many historic and relevant sites as well as got some of his personal food recommendations/ preferences. It was raining and Felix allowed one of the elderly group members to use his own umbrella. I paid for a larger group tour earlier in the day and this one was much better. His English is really easy to understand and follow. This was the best tour I've don't in Madrid so far! I highly recommend!

A nice and insightful stroll through sunny Madrid - Carlota is a very good guide, showed us a lot of the centre of Madrid, pretty much all the main things there are to see. She was very knowledgeable, was connecting with participants while walking to further stops on the tour and made sure we had fun along the way. I particularly liked the quiz part in the end since people's accurate responses showed people were listening and Carlota made sure we remember all the interesting facts she was sharing with us.
