Great walking tour of Madrid. Our guide Helena was very knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions we had. Also she was open to customize the tour according to our needs. We didn’t know that part of the tour was a churros tasting and a great lunch at a very nice restaurant. At the end we felt like we were having lunch with an old friend.
100% worth it! Tour, churros, tapas & lunch!

My family and I enjoyed the guided half day tour with our guide. It was worth it as we had city tour, tapas and delicious lunch. She showed us the most emblematic landmarks of Madrid. We liked that the tour wasn´t in a rush and she took time to explain the history of every place we went. My favorite was the churros with chocolate break at San Gines and lunch with Spanish food at this local tavern. Overall, we really loved it and would 100% recommend for anyone looking to experience Madrid.
