We booked the Madrid Must-See Attractions Walking Tour with Linda through Guydeez during a short stay in Madrid and had a great experience. Our original tour was delayed by a day due to guide availability, but the Guydeez team communicated well throughout and worked with us to find a suitable replacement time that fitted our plans. Linda was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to, she brought Madrid’s history, culture and landmarks to life with plenty of interesting stories and local insights. The tour covered far more than we expected and gave us a much better understanding of the city. As an Australian couple visiting Madrid for a short time, this was a fantastic way to see the major attractions, architecture, history and get our bearings. Thanks to Linda and the Guydeez team for making it such an enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to make the most of their time in Madrid. So private too just my wife and I.

Pleasant discovery of historical places with unusual anecdotes
Very good visit of the main points of interest to know when one has everything to discover in Madrid. François, the history enthusiast and Madrid expert, provided us with very good tips in addition to historical references. We did not notice the 2 hours passing on foot! He is friendly and relaxed; we recommend him!
