Madrid Old City Tour was Great - I took the Madrid Old City Tour through Babylon Tours and it was great. Our guide, Jake, was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He seems very passionate about what he does and truly loves Spain, its culture and history and sharing this with others.

Spanish Hisfory ++ - Our walking tour of old Madrid was amazing thanks to our incredible tour guide, Jake. As a scholar of Spanish history, he focused on the golden age of Spain, and brought history to life in a very informed and interesting way. He also had great modern recommendations on restaurants, tours, sights, etc. Excellent, highly recommend!

Semi-private walking tour of historic Madrid with Isabella. There were 6 of us (3 couples) visiting from the UK. - Isabella was a fabulous tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and answered all our questions. She really tailored her information and explanations to our interests. She also gave us some fabulous recommendations for places to eat - we went to one for lunch then came back to a second place for dinner.

Excellent tour with Beatriz - Our tour on October 12 @11am was amazing! Our tour was accompanied by down pouring rain most of the time. Beatriz was absolutely magnificent through all of it. She was kind, considerate, and retained her professionalism and her passion for the history of Madrid throughout the whole tour! She definitely made this tour a highlight of my visit to Madrid!

Beatriz is the best! - We had a lovely and informative tour. Beatriz had so many tips, insights and secrets, we had a wonderful time. The only negative was a couple who couldn't find the meeting place. Beatriz was patient and helpful but they were rude, unreasonable and abusive to her and each other. I even tried to talk with them and present solutions but they weren't receptive. Fortunately, Beatriz was a consummate professional and carried on to ensure all who attended the tour were treated to a quality experience.
