Explore Madrid Beyond the Tourist Spots

(60)

The tour was great, Lisa has a lot of knowledge about the city and its history, and shared information which I would not have known if I had gone on my own. She was friendly and helpful too, and walked me to the Prado museum as she wanted to make sure I reached there safely, even though our tour had ended Definitely engage her for walking tours!

We had a wonderful time exploring the city with Lisa. Very professional and knowledgeable. We went back to one of the tapas places she introduced to us because we enjoyed it so much! Really tasty food (croquettas and stuffed mushrooms were the best!)

Lisa is amazing! She is a passionate expert on all things Madrid!!!! Her English is exceptional, so simple to understand and she really plans and organizes your day hours in advance so you know exactly where to meet her. Ask her anything! We talked about history, people, culture, economics, healthcare, you name it. I had the best day ever!!

The option I chose for the tour was the 4 hours one and my guide for the day was Marina. I was able to book a tour starting around lunch time as the day was rainy in the morning and Marina was able to accommodate a delayed time to avoid the rain. Once we started the tour we were very lucky and not only stopped raining but the temperature was very nice for a walk like this. Marina took me around all the centre of Madrid, telling me about the history, how the city has developed and showing me all the most historical and best tourist stops. Being a private tour we were able to customize the stops and have one for refreshments and a little break. We also did not spend so much time in the Literary quarter as I had already covered the area in a tapas tour the previous day. If you choose a longer tour you might be able to make visiting stops. Regardless I got plenty of additional tips for places to visit during my stay and had plenty of opportunities to take photographs. Thank you Marina for experience, best of luck.
