Ideal to get to know the heart of Madrid! - I had been to Madrid several times, but I had never done a free tour. We chose this one with friends and we loved it. Juan Diego, very kind and pleasant, not only explained to us the history of the heart of Madrid, which by the way, he did great, because he made us participate and be attentive, but he also recommended places to eat or try typical products from his experience in the City, which is very appreciated, because that way you go to the best or most famous. He also answered any questions. We went to try the strawberry shot at the place that recommended it to us, and I personally loved it. Thank you

I promise you that you will learn more on this tour than in your history classes. - Sometimes, it can be intimidating to travel to a city with as much culture and hidden history as Madrid. This is where our guide Andrea comes in! Andrea has the gift of telling historical events in an entertaining and accessible way. If you have little time to learn about the history (and curiosities) of the city, this would be a great starter. Thank you Andrea for that fun afternoon full of culture and historical gossip!

Excellent tour of the historic area of Madrid - Juan Diego is a great guide to learn about the history and curiosities of Madrid, but outside of the tours there are many important things that you don't learn about the culture. In short, excellent tour and highly recommended.
