Amazing!

Such a great experience! We felt like we got to all the “must see” things in Madrid, and knew where to go, if we wanted to spend more time in a place. Our guide, Laura was amazing-friendly, funny and being from Spain, was super knowledgeable about the history and area-we enjoyed the food and drinks included in the experience and the flamenco show was the perfect way to end the day!

This tour was perfect to be able to see the sights of the old town of Madrid. Our tour guide, Helena, was the best guide we have ever had and we have been on a lot of tours in a lot of cities. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and flexible allowing us to take our time visiting the sights. We would definitely go on this tour again.

A Day one must!

This was a perfect overview of the city of Madrid. Highly recommend you do on day one then you’ll know what you want to see more of and where to spend your time.
