Enthusiastic knowledgeable guide - Very useful 2.5hr tour on day 1 of our visit to Madrid. Andrea the tour guide was excellent. She narrated the history of the old town very well and answered all our questions. It gave us a basis to plan the rest of our visit (including insights into where to find best restaurants and shopping). Would definitely recommend

Outstanding tour content and great guide! - Jake, our guide, was very knowledgeable, both about Madrid and its history. He shared a lot of interesting facts about both. We stopped at many spots, so there was time to rest during the walk. I’ve been on many guided tours around the world, and Jake is one of the best! He is also quite tall, so easy to follow thru the crowds😀

Interesting history and well presented - Jake was an excellent guide. The walking tour was very informative and presented a historical guide of the history of Spain and the city of Madrid. The pace was just about right and followed a useful structure of history and Spain’s place in the world. As well as presenting basic facts, Jake provided stories that complimented the understanding of the locations and historical context. There was lots of time given to extra questions from guests. We would highly recommend this tour to get an excellent feel for Madrid and Spain. Mark & Emma

Band of brothers - Great guide. Full of knowledge and obviously enjoyed her job. Explained Spain’s history and pointed out architecture of interest. Toward the end of the 2.5 hr walk she touched on favorite local foods.
