Wonderful 2 hr walking tour with Karina.

5.00Our delightful guide Karina led us on an interesting and informative tour of Madrid. She made sure to provide us with interesting bits of information without overwhelming us with too many facts and figures. She accommodated our wishes to stop for ice cream, purchase cookies from the nuns and put our wishes on the wishing wall. Karina even greeted us warmly when we ran into her again by chance that evening. 100% would recommend.
Best walking tour in Europe.

5.00Sam was more like a friend showing us around her city rather than a guide. She was bubbly, friendly, fun, very well spoken, and most af all, so very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sam, and this walking tour. Best we’ve experience so far on our tour of Europe.
Sam was wonderful!
