A fantastic, beautiful day in Madrid with Irina Karasenko. Thank you, Madrid Museum Tours, for providing a perfect experience for two travelers who love to learn the flavor of a city, the history, the lore and the magic. This was our second tour with MMT, the first in 2019. It's an ideal way to see more, know more and enjoy the company of a true expert in their field but also a charming and fun companion. The Walking Tour is an excellent start to adventuring out on our own for the balance of our stay in Madrid. We saw places we returned to for meals, wandering, shopping and dining. Asked many questions about interesting Madrid sites. It is a long walk. 6-7 hours but never exhausting. Bring water! We will always add a MMT tour to our visits to Madrid.

Wow - It was our first-time visit to Madrid, and we wanted to get a sense of both the modern culture and the rich history. Our private tour with Madrid Museum was fantastic on both counts. Our guide was knowledgeable and insightful and the tour catered to what we wanted to see and learn, not merely a canned script. The highlight was time at the Prada where our guide's knowledge and patience opened new insights in the works of art. Thank you Madrid Museum Tours for making Madrid come alive for us. Bravo!
We have done many of this company’s tours and we can not recommend them enough. If you want to experience Madrid like a local, you MUST see it with Hernan and Irina. We have been to Madrid at least 7 times in the last 5 years and we are still discovering new things thanks to this two intelligent, educated elegant guides.
I cannot think of a better way to acquaint oneself with a beauty and culture of Madrid than in the company of the charming and erudite Hernan Satt. Our 4-hour walking tour was the highlight of our five-day stay in this magical city. The tour was perfectly tailored to our interests, which Hernan was able to glean within minutes of meeting us. A must for any visitor to Madrid!
