Javon provided a great tour which began at Plaza Mayor and ended near the Palacio Real. He kept the pace moving quickly and his tour was informative and entertaining.
my long awaited tour was cancelled right when I was about to leave my hotel to go to the meeting point. "not enough people responded" was the explanation meaning "we won't make a lot of money, just a little, and we reject it", right? very very not cool.... and to add insult to injury they have audacity to ask me to write a review!!! hmmmm, so how should I rate it? you tell me....
Had a fun filled tour with our guide, Jovan. Great historical knowledge with an effervescent, bubbly personality. The Monasterio del Corpus Christi is worth a try. Not what you’d expect. Engaging and entertaining.
Javon is very knowledgeable of the history of Madrid and Spain in general. He gave a very good historical overview as well as some fun tips and information about the city, where to eat and what to do. There were only five of us on the tour which I really appreciated after seeing very large tour groups all around the Plaza Mayor. He is a native English speaker which made it very easy to understand and converse with him.
Visited on advice from a different company about good tours in Munich and was very pleased, our guide was so well informed and friendly!
The tour was amazing! Enrique’s knowledged and explanations of historic fatcs made every moment more interesting. I recommend 100%.
Guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant to listen too! Just the right amount of time. Good amount of walking and time to take photos.
We are a family of 4. Two adult children and mom and dad. The tour guide spoke very slowly, and his English was challenging to understand. We’ve had several free tours throughout Europe now, and this is the only one we really did not enjoy much.
Kevin was a very nice guide. He explained everything about a lot of places. Sure we took a lot of photos.
I have already done several tours with Todo Tours with different guides (the ones I remember are Lara for Malasaña and Chueca, with Zalo for La Latina and Lavapiés, and another with Irán, I think it was the Mysteries and Legends one) and they were all excellent!!! Very good guides, very professional, the tours full of details, stories, anecdotes!! I will definitely book with Todo Tours again!!
I did this tour over Christmas with the guide Lidia and was really surprised by the deep knowledge she has of the city. Absolutely recommended!
I took part in the tour with Lidia and it was wonderful and interesting, with lots of curiosities about the city and the various characters! I followed many tips she gave us and it really changed my experience in the city, thanks again:)
It’s not a very repetitious and boring little-documented experience, I’ve been on this type of visit in other cities and it’s been more interesting. I don't recommend it.
The Mysteries and Legends Tour With Luisa very mysterious! A legend Macabro the history of San Isidro and the history of Almudena Cathedral The cats of Madrid very good And the frog king and no descendants. I loved his personality.
Luisa did everything very enjoyable and entertaining everything very well explained and with notes of passion for what she does I will repeat sure A very good experience
Guided tour of Luisa. We really liked it and it was very entertaining. The tour was great and very nice. I would repeat with her without hesitation.
It was a very nice experience, another way to get to know Madrid Our guide Luisa a charm, she knows a lot and it was easy to keep up. Without hesitation we recommend it
Excellent guide, Marina, very friendly, fun, we attended another tour with her and invited us to this and we were very happy to come, highly recommended the tour and guide especially
Very good tour. Well chosen tour, and very good stories and stories. Thank you very much to Marina, our guide.
Fun and interesting tour, and the Guide very Pro. The two hours were spent flying around discovering another side of Madrid all our lives.
The tour was very good, Chris speaks em very good Englishwhich you can understand even if you don't see this as a native language. He has also written to us beforehand so as to have his number and can contact us with any questions on him. I can recommend the tour with
Hicimos el tour con Carmen y resultaron muy interesantes las historias que nos fue contando sobre Madrid. Aconsejo el tour a cualquiera que quiera conocer el Madrid de los Austrias y tener una visión rápida de la historia, así como conocer leyendas de aquella época
We were traveling with Cris, who spoke excellent English and told a lot of historical stories. Great personal contact before the tour. Get valuable tips on eating and drinking. Highly recommended
Super interesting because of the amount of curious data I was unaware of and the way so enjoyable to transmit it from Fiz. A different way to get to know another Madrid.
Juan is an excellent guide, he knew the subject perfectly. It was a wonderful afternoon, entertaining and with a lot of mystery. I recommend it again and again. They won’t regret it 💪
We did our guided tour in English. We had an excellent Cree Guide who was very friendly and had a good touch of humor. We learned a lot about Madrid from a historical point of view while discovering beautiful little squares where to eat. It’s a 2-hour ride, but we didn’t feel it. We could have continued another 2 hours without problem. We highly recommend this tour with Cris!
Very interesting tour of the most emblematic streets of the old Madrid, excellent attention from the Cármen Guide, highly recommended experience
We did the tour with Joan in Munich, all very well, the tour was very entertaining and we learned a lot, 100% recommended
Excellent afternoon with Fran!!! The tour lasted more than 2:30 hs, longer than it should last because of the enthusiasm it gave the group. Very friendly and good info
They gave me this tour with Oscar a month ago, and, I liked it so much, I repeated with my 15-year-old son, being lucky that he played us again with Oscar. My son also loved it, something difficult to get at this age. I think he's doing fantastically well. Catch your counting. Without a doubt, I recommend it, and certainly, I will do more tours with Todotour.
Experience 100% recommended, very interesting to know other aspects of the history of Madrid, fun and very entertaining.
Genial. Very interesting. Oscar, our Guide, introduces stories with a great sense of humor and historical rigor
The guide, Fernanda, very friendly and friendly. The views are spectacular, and the stories very interesting. We will repeat, no doubt.
Oscar, our guide, spectacular! very clear, didactic and entertaining in his explanations! It's worth hiring them! Ideal to get to know the city more
The guide, Luisa, explained to us in a pleasant, fun and friendly way, all the legends and myths of the tour, leaving us with good memories.
We loved getting to know Madrid with this mysteries tour. Our guide Fernanda a 10, how she explains things and the enthusiasm she shows.
Not recommended! Our guide didn't show up and we waited for him for almost an hour and looked for a blue umbrella☂️! But even after a long search there was no sign of the guide
We loved it, you discover a lot of things about places in Madrid that you couldn't imagine. We went with our 15 and 17 year old daughters and they loved it. The exceptional guide. We will look for more tours of this type
We have done a private tour of the Madrid Monumental, 9 members of the same family and we loved it. A very good time. We have learned many curiosities about our city. The guide, Aída, a very very good professional. I recommend!
A genius Francisco! He explained very clearly, his explanations helped us better appreciate the city. It made him very cool despite the cold! I recommend it!
Good free walking mini tour, we were a small group, there was an older adult so anyone can do it. Being a short tour, there is no time to take photos, and at that time it is full of the same tours, but they are all nearby places, so I recommend going through the same places again and looking for better angles for photos. Good guide, he spoke very clearly and had a small speaker so you could hear it well, ideal to leave a tip.
The tour was great. Very good information, we entered the cathedral, the guide was super attentive and had a very good attitude.
Juan was an excellent guide. The explanations of the visit to El Escorial were super entertaining and interesting. He knew how to guide our group, which was quite heterogeneous, wonderfully. We will keep the visit in our memories thanks to their great work. The 2 hours flew by. Super recommended. Thanks Juan! A great professional!
The excellent and entertaining tour guide. We took many photographs!! He allowed us to take the photos while he told us the story.
Spectacular! We did the mysteries tour with Carmen, we really liked it. Carmen, very good guide, professional and fun. We will surely repeat!!
The boy was super friendly and had a super good knowledge of the stories he told, the tour was very interesting, the two hours were very short. We liked it a lot.
A very rewarding experience that I would repeat without a doubt, the guide, Carmen, was very kind and told us all the mysteries of Madrid and made the tour very enjoyable. A 10/10
We did the tour with the guide Carmen and we really liked it. It wasn't long at all, despite going with some teenagers in our group. I would suggest, as a possible improvement, to try to connect a little with this type of young audience when they go on tours because they quickly disperse. I mean involving them a little in the tour, asking them some questions to keep their attention and having a couple of jokes that leave them amazed, of which there are many in the history of Madrid.
We have done the Tour of Mysteries and Legends of Madrid. Very interesting experience and highly recommended. Our guide Carmen made the entire tour and the visit in general very enjoyable. Very positive rating in general.
