Reviews of Our Madrid Experiences

We had a wonderful time exploring the city with Lisa. Very professional and knowledgeable. We went back to one of the tapas places she introduced to us because we enjoyed it so much! Really tasty food (croquettas and stuffed mushrooms were the best!)

Madrid

Not only did we learn about the tapas culture, how to order, where to eat them, we also saw different parts of the city and heard personal stories from Ricardo. His English was excellent, and he was very knowledgeable about Madrid and Spain. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Madrid.

Joanna was our guide and she was fantastic! My son and I found her so easy to get along with. She was very friendly, knowledgeable of the history of the various barrios we walked through, and she turned us on to some some fantastic food and drink treats. Her organization, CityUnscripted, has a real gem of a person/tour guide in Joanna.

I had a fantastic evening experience in Madrid with Jorge. Starting with a chilled walk through some of the parks and ending with food and drinks in one of the more alternative neighbourhoods, I managed to see the city as only a local would. Highly recommended!

Madrid

This was a food tour. I booked a private tour because we are vegetarians and hence felt a group tour might not be suitable. It was a nice evening out with Isabel and we tried a couple of vegan restaurants. I wouldn’t say the tour delivered value for the amount charged.
