Excellent

We were lucky to have Glenn all to ourselves on this tour, which made it feel very personal. Glenn was excellent, very knowledgable and informative, he answered any questions we had. It was a great way to start our visit to Madrid.

Excellent tour, in Portuguese from Brazil!

We made the tour in Portuguese with the guide Henrique, who is a Brazilian journalist. It was the best free tour of life! Highly prepared, taught us about the history, madrilen customs and about the Spanish/Arabic languages. Very patient, answered all the questions we made, and indicated us where to eat, in a restaurant where the locals va. Excellent!!!

Great experience

Lovely walking tour to get to see the basics of the city center. I am not sure our guide was fully accurate with his historical facts (we googled everything) but he was still nice and friendly

We had a brilliant morning with Henrique, great historical knowledge of the city of Madrid and a wonderfully entertaining walk which brought the city to life. I would highly recommend a tour with Henrique, he is very engaging and a passionate advocate for Madrid 👌

A Great Walking Tour.

This walking tour was a great 2 - 2.5 hour introduction to the location and history of the major sights in central Madrid. (You pay a small handling fee up front and then give the guide whatever you think it was worth.) The guide was Henrique; always interesting and informative. His mother can be proud if she reads this!
