2.00Our Viator guide was a half-hour late, did not appear organized, was difficult to understand (very thick accent), and didn’t do justice to this beautiful city. Sadly disappointing
An unforgettable walking tour of Madrid!

5.00We had a fantastic experience exploring Madrid on foot with Patricia as our guide. In just three fun-filled hours, she introduced us to hidden gems and iconic landmarks that would’ve taken us weeks to discover on our own. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history—both old and new—gave us a richer appreciation for everything we saw, from historic sites to modern-day highlights (including shops we couldn’t resist returning to the very next day!). She even brought along presentation slides, adding an extra layer of context and engagement to the tour. If you're looking for a tour that's informative, engaging, and well worth your money, look no further—Patricia is the guide you want!
Not a personalized tour

2.00This did not feel like a custom tour based off the survey we submitted prior. Our tour guide was very nice but showed up with no itinerary for the day. We paid a lot of money for this tour because we thought it would be personalized but it was a very general walking tour through Madrid which is what we did not want. A bit disappointing considering the price we paid. Again, our tour guide was nice and very informative! Just was not the day we had hoped for. Not sure if it was a miscommunication on the company’s side or if our guide just didn’t prepare an appropriate itinerary before.
Great way to get oriented...

5.00Great way to get oriented to a new city and learn fun facts. Patricia was able to answer our many questions.
Not worth it

2.00Marina was very sweet but it was difficult to understand her as her English isn’t the best and definitely not suitable for leading a tour. This was advertised as a “hidden gems” but we only went to the most touristy typical spots. Not worth the $200 we spent.
