I was so glad I did this tour as I got to see the old Madrid. Melissa was so knowledgeable and entertaining! She was great! Very enjoyable!

It’s more like Walk around the city and get in a history course. If you enjoy those type of tours, then you should do it other than that it’s something you could just do on your own

Bruno was a fun and very knowledgeable guide. Managed to bring 1,000 plus years of history to life. I especially loved his pointing out of buildings and signs that you would just simply walk past if on your own. He shared lots of history with us in a fun, memorable way (he tested us at the end). I have already recommended this to tour to friends. Gracias Bruno!

Melisa was highly entertaining and gave a funny history lesson on the kings and Queens that helped us with other tours later on. We got a pretty good lay of the land and went back to all of the sites that were covered.

Greta trip. This is also marketed as free trip, where you tip the tour guide depending on your experience. However, we paid for this beforehand. Hence, the tour guide would not have got all the money

Ulrich_W

This was an exceptional tour with Melissa. She is a real expert for Madrid and has all historic data, stories, locations and recommendations for the people who explore the city with her. Very entertaining and 100% recommended. We enjoyed every minute and had a great time.

This was a great tour. Javier was really engaging and interesting to listen to. Madrid has such an interesting history and this covered a lot of that as well as places to eat and stay while you were there.
