Good decision. - I had already done this experience about 5 years ago with another company, and this time with a family member who had not visited for more than 20 years we decided to choose to do this activity to take advantage of the afternoon, the truth is that it was a right decision. We had Javier as our guide and we only have words of gratitude for his didactic work and the enthusiasm he shows in explaining everything in detail, even with images that help you better understand the history of the city. If you don't do this type of excursion, you will probably miss out on seeing many interesting things about the city and knowing what was happening in some of its enclaves. Don't hesitate to contact them.

Enjoyable and enriching tour - Javier has a knowledge of Madrid history that engages from the first moment. We really liked his closeness during the tour. If we have to recommend, we will recommend Ogo Tours without hesitation.

Fascinating visit with the best guide - Our visit with Javier was incredible!!! He is charming, transmits passion for what he does and makes you curious to want to continue delving into a lot of topics. We did the Madrid of the Austrias with him and we were fascinated with his cultural level and his excellent ability to transmit knowledge. We would have been listening to him for hours and hours. Thank you for your kindness, sympathy and good work Javier!!

Quality private walking tour of Madrid - Sorry I had forgotten our guide's name, but he was a wealth of knowledge about Madrid and both it historical and cultural developments. No question was left unanswered. This was a private tour and he tailored the tour to suit our interest and the pace of the tour. The tour placed all important geographical and historical aspects into perspective which assisted in our future exploration of the city. The distance was not taxing and could take breaks when needed

Can't wait to return to Madrid for more time with Ogo Tours! - What a absolute pleasure it was to spend the day with Tatiana in Madrid. She exudes enthusiasm, knowledge and a true love of Madrid and Spain. We learned so much about Madrid and its history. We were delighted to have some very special experiences during our tour - things that none of the guide books talk about and it was these special moments that really made for an especially exciting and memorable time. We cannot wait to return to Madrid, just to have some more time with Ogo Tours!

Memorable experience - My wife and I decided to take this tour on the basis that if Ogotours were leaving the payment to the discretion of the tourist then they must be good. Wow were we right, Tatiana our guide was quite exceptional from her warm welcome to our engaging chat and drink at the finish . This near 3 hour tour of Madrid was wonderfully informative and gave us an understanding of the city and the sights that we would never have had otherwise. Tatiana's knowledge and enthusiastic delivery made for a memorable afternoon. The previous day we had taken a tuk tuk tour which while enjoyable didn't hold a candle to our tour with Ogo, My advice if you are a tourist in Madrid don't leave without taking the Ogo walking tour. Thank you Tatiana you have left us with wonderful memories of yourself and Madrid. Eddie & Evelyn

Fantastic private tour with Gonzalo - I know fewer people are traveling right now so I wanted to make sure I wrote some reviews to so people have up to date information. I did a four hour walking tour with Gonzalo. The first part of the tour I needed to get a Covid test on a Sunday so I could fly home the next day. Thank goodness Gonzalo found an open location and took the train and had it completed within 30 minutes, I would have never found it on my own using public transport and my Spanish is not very good so he was super helpful to make sure I got the correct test. After that we went and toured the City, the Palace and the Cathedral. For me the private tours are great if they help avoid waiting in line, learn some history and have fun and this tour did it all. Gonzalo I will never Tio Pepe :) Thanks again!
