We were in Madrid for less than 24 hours during a layover. We booked a tour with Drica and she was fantastic. Very knowledge and friendly. She also gave us some great recommendations for places to pop into for tapas and drinks without reservations. It was an all around great experience.

We had a great time with Majo. Everyone should have this kick start tour. Majo gave us a very good overview of Madrid and it’s history, it gave us a very good perspective keeping the knowledge that she gave us into account while we enjoyed the rest of our time in Madrid. We took the tapas tour with her as well and the Prado Museum. We tasted the best tapas while continuing to learn more about Madrid, the people, the customs etc. Majo had a real good knowledge of the PRADO museum. We hit the best paintings/ sculpture in the 3 hour timeframe. You can feel her passion for her work and her enthusiasm to share her knowledge. Would recommend Majo on any of her tours.

Spending time with Julian was an excellent way to begin our Madrid vacation. Knowing very little about the city, Julian's wealth of knowledge and passion for the history of Madrid set the perfect tone for our explorations. Through his eyes, the old town of Madrid came alive. Julian showed us fascinating bits and pieces that would have eluded us otherwise. Icing on the cake was his excellent lunch recommendation where we ate the best potatoes bravas of our trip.

Our guide Julio Cesar was exceptional with this tour. He was able to thoroughly describe Madrid during this short tour. Perfect run-down of Madrid. Definitely recommend!

We decided it would be fun to see Madrid through the eyes of a young person and this walking introduction was a great way to do it. We found Mateo to be a calm, engaging person who was very amenable to tailoring things to what we wanted to see. Just the right touch with historical facts, enough but not too much.

Julian was a great guide. In our 90 minute walk around Madrid, we saw many key sights and learned a lot about the history of the city. Julian is very knowledgeable, and it's clear he loves his city. Our two teenage boys were very jet lagged, but he kept them engaged and entertained. I would definitely book with Julian again!

Patricia was great to spend time with and learn from. She knew a lot about the history of Madrid, the architecture, the people, and spots that weren’t as “touristy” as some of the other popular areas visitors might check out. We ended near the market which was a great place to eat after the tour.

Thank you Julian for guiding us through Madrid yesterday; we covered so much ground and in a most relaxed way. Your local knowledge was encyclopaedic. You gave us a fabulous flavour of this most beautiful city. Enormous thanks to you! Wishing you a wonderful festive time. Maura and Flo.

We absolutely loved our veggie tapas tour with Drica. She was so friendly and knowledgeable, which made it easy to have a great time. Every bite (and sip!) we tried was delicious, and we learned about the neighborhoods and dishes along the way. I would recommend this tour – and especially Drica – to anyone! Thank you for a wonderful time, Drica!
