    Nic provided us with an exceptional and insightful tour of Madrid. We were shown plenty of historical locations with fascinating stories to accompany. He also did a brilliant job at keeping it engaging and fresh throughout and also provided us with a list of recommendations for the remainder of our time in the city.

    One of the best walking tours I’ve ever attended! Nic is such cool guy and knows how to make things interesting - while learning tons of cool things and secrets about Madrid and its history, Nic constantly switched up the rhythm of the tour by adding in games, quizzes, treasure hunts. The tour was about 2-2.5 hours long, but felt way shorter due to how interactive it was. Nic is an absolute legend of an Aussie and 100% recommend joining his tour if you want to learn more about the sunniest capital of the world. PS: the calamari sandwich place we stopped at was absolute banger, went back there twice already!

    This was by far the best walking tour I’ve ever been on. Nic, the tour guide, makes it unique compared to other tours. Aside from his perfectly timed humor, my favorite part had to be either the “tio tinder” game we played or watching my brother dress up as king Felipe II. No other tour I’ve ever taken has had these additional enhancements. They’re all just the same “walk, hear some history, and walk some more.” Highly recommend, 10/10!
