Great Free Walking Tour - We did the free walking tour of the old town and loved it. Tatiana spoke very good English, she was very energetic and we learnt a lot about Madrid. Tipping is not mandatory but with the quality of the tour it is definitely deserved. Loved the experience and would definitely recommend it.

Personal and friendly experience. Highly recommend! - I met up with my guide and expected a huge group with little personal vintagetips, but was surprised I was alone due to cancellations. We had such a good time and I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier, more engaged guide. Thank you!

Excellent tour - Tatiana, thank you for the amazing tour. We were really lucky to get you as our guide in Madrid. In less than 3 hours we have learned so much of Madrid history, seen so many historical buildings and even visited the cellars of the oldest Madrid restaurant. Highly recommended.

Best Historic Tour - just book it! - Tatiana was wonderful and knowledgeable about the history of the historic area of Madrid. She kept my interest throughout the tour (and she had excellent energy). We learned a lot of interesting history about buildings, kings, strawberry trees, more than 100 year old restaurants/stores, mysterious cookie selling nuns and more!

Our tour guide was great! - Our guide's knowledge of details and history made this tour outstanding. She entertained us with historical facts and stories that don't make it into traditional history books. She made a three hour tour in warm weather delightful!

Excellent Little Tour - Excellent tour with an enthusiastic guide. On this tour you get exposure to the parts of old Madrid that you would normally walk right past without knowing their significance. Fun and reasonably priced excursion getting to know the area more intimately.

Simply Amazing - Tatiana was simply amazing. She has so much energy and expressiveness in everything she says and tells the stories about the city with such enthusiasm that one can never forget what they have seen and heard. She ensures inclusiveness of everyone in the group so that people who did not know anyone find themselves making new acquaintances. Great tour and wonderful person
