Dissappointing

The App fid not suggest a walking route including the main sights of Madrid. I think there are better options as a guide for someone who has never visited the city before and just wants to walk to the highlights.

Operator response

Hi Hilary, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Our Madrid guide does include curated walking routes for first-time visitors, including the “Madrid’s Royal and Artistic Heart” tour, which was designed to connect many of the city’s main landmarks in a logical walking order. Based on your feedback, we’ve now updated the tour title to explicitly include “Top Sights” to make its purpose clearer for future visitors. I’ve also tried reaching out personally to better understand your experience and offer compensation, as we’d genuinely like the opportunity to make things right. Feedback like yours helps us improve the experience for future travelers, and we truly appreciate you sharing it. Kind regards, Alexander
