I had the absolute pleasure of joining Andrea’s tour through the Royal Palace in Madrid, and it was truly unforgettable. Andrea’s knowledge of the history, art, and architecture was impressive, but what really made the experience special was her enthusiasm and warmth. She didn’t just recite facts—she brought the palace to life with fascinating stories and small details I would have otherwise missed. Her pacing was perfect, giving us plenty of time to appreciate each room without ever feeling rushed, and she was always ready to answer questions with a smile. Andrea’s passion for Madrid’s culture and history was contagious, and by the end of the tour, I felt like I’d not only learned so much, but also genuinely connected with the city. If you’re visiting Madrid, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Andrea—you’ll walk away with great memories and a deeper appreciation for this stunning landmark.
Very pleasant and very interesting visit, Christiana answered our questions in impeccable French, she aroused our interest with a multitude of anecdotes
Bonjour, Merci pour votre retour a propos de votre tour avec Christiana. Nous sommes ravi qu'elle ai pu répondre a toutes vos questions. N'hésité pas a revenir nous voir pour découvrir d'autres tours. Cordialement, L'équipe Natuanda
Very good family visit (4 children from 7 to 17 years old) with Christiana, who speaks very good French and introduced us to the old town with very clear and detailed explanations about the history of Madrid and the evolution of the city through the centuries. It adapted to our rhythm, even though we fell in the middle of an official event, and the children necessarily wanted to watch the carriages pass by. Visit recommended.

Great tour with our Guide who adapted to our pace. We learned more about madrid than we did about our own town. I recommend
Nous sommes heureux d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié cette expérience. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour une prochaine expérience.
We really liked the experience, we would repeat without a doubt, the Guide was very competent, he solved many doubts that were arising us.
Muchas gracias por tu valoración, es muy importante para nosotros. Esperamos volver a verles pronto.
We loved everything about the tour, the walk was not too long and was very enjoyable thanks to your guide who also provided very complete information, we will repeat for sure!
Unbeatable, both the guide Laura, who is a love in person and in knowledge in the environment. We visited monumental Madrid, Prado and the Royal Palace And what can we say about Angel...an open encyclopedia makes you feel as if you were in the era, we visited Escorial, Valle and La Granja From Inés in Toledo, despite her youth, IT WAS a wonderful experience both in terms of knowledge, patience and know-how, as well as, like all the staff of the Agency, great attention to two elderly people of almost 80 years. 😘💖
We reached Madrid by train and having little time available (4 hours) we decided to take a guided tour to visit the highlights of the city. Our guide Cecilia (very knowledgeable and courteous) was very helpful, she accompanied us on the tour with information and curiosities about the history of Madrid.
