My boyfriend and I do not get to spend money on tours very often and we are so glad we did - it was the highlight of our trip in Madrid. I lived in Madrid for a few years and never knew much of the information our guide, David, told us. He was SO knowledgeable and personable. He ensured the group was meshing and by the end we were all talking like we had been long time friends. It was so amazing to connect with everyone and not just hear city facts read off. A true experience thanks to David!!!

Isaac was a wealth of knowledge and made the whole experience a lot of fun.
It was great to get an authentic tapas experience going to places where only locals go, combined with the walk and history tour.
