Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us great tips
My friend and I spent 3 nights in Madrid and we agreed that this tour was the highlight for us. Yvonne had such a comfortability about her and was so knowledgeable that it felt like going out for lunch with friends whist getting to hear Madrids interesting history. We had a small group but it was amazing, it was so easy and we talked the whole time. The food was incredible, the tour focuses on authentic and traditional food. It was the absolute perfect start to our trip. Yvonne also pointed out places to go and provided recommendations so we could get the most out of our time there. We would recommend doing this at the start of your trip in Madrid and definitely recommend!
