Excellent tour to learn the city - Maria was an exceptional guide! Her knowledge of the areas, history, culture, and current life was interesting and helpful. I wanted to learn the area before exploring it further solo. Her willingness to share information and guidance was priceless. She even got me a map and we went for a sit down with coffee and talked through all of the different areas and what I could see and experience. 5 stars for Maria!

Perfectly Tailored Tour - Eva was great. She asked what types of things we wanted to see and asked about our other tours so as not to duplicate. We got to see neighborhoods and shops off the beaten path and away from the typical tourist spots.

Ask for Maria Augusta! - Maria Augusta took us off the beaten path in a Madrid neighborhood. We really didn’t know what to expect but 2 1/5 hours flew by as she walked us through shops, museums and many quaint streets. Look up, look down - she pointed out things we would never have noticed. Her knowledge and stories were impressive. So glad we took the chance and did something very local and not typical!! Highly recommend Maria Augusta!

Wonderful time! - Julio is a wonderful guide which I can recommend with all my heart. He took his time to get to know me (I booked a private tour) and to then cater the tour to my preferences. He knew so many little details and interesting stories at basically every corner that no regular tourist guide has time to provide. His English is impeccable but after hearing that I used to live in Madrid for a few months some 30 years ago he offered to do the tour in Spanish ( I booked English) which I gladly accepted, but he switched easily to English when I was a bit "lost". I had a really, really great evening that ended with a drink ( my request, my treat, not! included in the tour offer). Hasta la proxima, Julio 💛

Great walking tour of Hidden Madrid - Víctor is very knowledgeable and offered a great deal of wisdom of Madrid and all the sites he showed us throughout the city. He pointed out things and brought us to places we never would have noticed or seen on our own. He is passionate about history and ensuring we left his company with a greater understanding of the history of this area.
