Belan was wonderful! Informative, kind, thoughtful and nicely organized in this guided tour. Terrific insights into the history of Span and Madrid, architecture, various cultural influences, etc. A perfect way to get introduced to this city’s heritage. We could not have enjoyed it more!

Itinerary
Isabel II was a peculiar queen who ruled Spain from 1833 to 1868, don't you want to hear some stories about her?
The heart of the Spanish Monarchy has a lot of significant stories behind it walls.
Of course, we couldn't skip this... The only different point is that we are going to have the best possible view of the Cathedral.
This is one of the oldest churches in Madrid... And Saint Nicholas is someone you know.
This is the Army's Cathedral, its square has story about murder, kings and queens.
This is one of the best place to contemplate how Madrid and Spain's architecture has been changing though time since the 15th Century.
This has been everything in Madrid's history: the theatre, the marketplace... Even the bullring!
Remember when there was no facebook? Well, this was the "wall" of the 15th Century.
If you're looking for a place... This is THE place.

An excellent private tour with Maria. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and gave helpful tips beforehand as well as afterwards. We greatly enjoyed her expertise and humour around a wonderful city. Definitely recommended! She also let us stop off to buy some yummy Easter specialities- torrijas!
Maria did an excellent job providing history with photos to help us learn about the history and circumstances at different events in history. We thought Maria was wonderful!
This is well worth the money Excellent guide (Stefania) very knowledgeable and lovely nature Definitely recommend t
Despite the rainy day, we had a lovely experience with Maria. Her knowledge of the culture, history and art of the Old City was exceptional, and she was also friendly, open and interesting to talk to.
Booked the tour the night before and showed up the next morning. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that our party of 2 were the only people in the group. Got a very personalized tour and our guide was the best ever. She took her time explaining all the sites and even gave her recommendations of the best places to eat at. Overall great experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking to book.
We had a wonderful tour with Stefi on 25.02.25, she made contact the day before and on the day she was very informative, attentive and spoke excellent English. The tour was well paced and covered Madrid’s history and sites really well. Stefi gave us plenty of good recommendations for food and drink which we used. Cannot rate her highly enough, excellent value for money.
We had a great time with the tour guide Belen! She is knowledgeable and truthful! Down to earth and it has provided us a good Spanish history! We enjoyed it very much! She even gave us extra time so that she could tell us more of the old town and some interesting stories!
Our guide Stefania was a mine of information and great skill in linking the various places to their history in an informed and entertaining way.
Belen was an excellent guide! extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. A great way to see parts of the city in only a few hours.
Maria was a fantastic guide with an incredible amount of knowledge. We enjoyed our tour around the old town and Maria took time to explain the history and point out landmarks. Maria had a lovely, friendly manner and her love for history was enthusiastically put across. Thank you for an informative and interesting tour.
We had a wonderful time exploring old town with our guide. He was fun and knowledgeable. We saw lots of things we would have missed on our own, which is what these tours are all about.
Our guide was very informative and pleasant. She had vast knowledge of the buildings and history of the Madrid.

Alex was a great guide. His knowledge of the city was excellent and his delivery was first class. We have been to Madrid several times before but we learned so much on this tour. Highly recommended and well worth the money.
Alex was a fabulous guide. I learnt so much about the history of Madrid from his vast knowledge and interest. Alex also provided me tips re local food, restaurants etc which were invaluable. Great way to start a trip in Madrid, highly recommend 👌
Tje guodes knowlege was exceptional. She also took time to answer our questions. Her archeological knowlege help explain the many buildings and sites seen.
We had a great time with Stephania. It was just my husband and I. She was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the city of Madrid. It was just what we needed.
Our guide was fantastic, excellent English, great sense of humour combined with wonderful honesty. The Palace/King was evidently hosting a tremendous event so we loved the excitement that was creating. The headsets were a stroke of absolute genius, one didn’t miss a word - no matter how far behind one lagged! We could have happily toured for longer with our lovely guide.
My wife and I had the privilege. We received a guided tour of the old city of Madrid by Stefania. She was so respectful and compassionate. Her knowledge of how the old city came about is extensive. We learned about the kings and queens of Spain, cathedrals, the plazas, architectural contributions from Muslims and Europeans, and a couple of historical restaurants.
My family of four got Belén as our guide and she was fantastic! Clearly passionate about her work, she shared interesting details about Madrid’s past and Spain’s history, keeping us intrigued and engaged. We highly recommend this! :)
Belen was VERY knowledgeable and a great tour guide for our old town Madrid tour. Highly recommend her!
Belen was a fantastic guide. She is well educated and speaks English. Energetic and pleasant. Knows history and art history. We liked her so much that we ended up taking three tours with her. Walking tour, The Royal Palace and the Prado.
Although it had been a very small group (in fact only me 🙃) it was a very nice tour, getting to know a lot of historical details but presented in an interesting and attracting way. Walking distance very easy, so highly recommended.
I ended up getting a private tour, as I was the only one signed up! Belén was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, and she made it all so interesting! She is in her element as a tour guide! Highly recommend!
We wanted a tour that would provide some background on the history of Madrid and that would orient us to the central part of the city. This tour provided this and more. Our guide took us to major sites and also to some of the out-of-the-way places. Excellent.
My tour guide, Maria was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and shared a lot historical facts about Madrid. She also made the tour very fun.
Fernando did a terrific job. Very knowledgeable. Well worth doing this and we got value for our ticket. Weather was perfect.
The stunning views if Madrid can be even better with the right company. That's why I'll choose Fernando as my guide every time I come to Madrid. Appart from his enormous knowledge of History and Arts, his patience and sense of humour made me feel really confortable. I will repeat without no doubt.
It was a marvelous experience. I highly recommend it. The best idea to get to know the old Madrid and with Fernando's explanations you won't miss a thing!.
The guy knew a lot of things and made quite different approach to everything and he was just the funniest. I wanna see him in a comedy club in a few years.
It has been a very complete tour throughout the center of Madrid, especially the Austrias neighborhood. Maria gave us very interesting data (especially from the palace). Very good service, excellent organization. We'll repeat for sure.
We really liked it. After the quarantine we came to see relatives from outside and we wanted to take a tour. Francis made it easy and made "hydration stops", kept safe distance and provided disinfectant gel. Your explanations are also very good.
We did a tour that started in the Opera Square and then went through the Royal Palace and so on. Very good if you want to start enjoying Madrid a little more. Also, since they go with a maximum of 10 people, everything became much more personal. We liked it so much that the next day we made the most modern part of Madrid. Absolutely recommended.
Very interesting tour of the center of Madrid touring its main points and receiving the right and necessary information from each one. Very good anecdotes and tips to understand the historical evolution of the city and its urban growth. Fernando solved all our doubts and recommended us visits to the main museums.
Very good tour, with anecdotes of the history of Madrid that I did not know, I will definitely repeat and recommend
