Reviews of Our Madrid Experiences

My friend and I were looking for something a little different from the usual tourist fare and Lisa delivered! From a third generation guitar craftsman to the nuns selling cookies at an inner city convent, the tour was fun, informative, and just what we were looking to find in Madrid.

We took this tour on our last day in Madrid, and it was a wonderful way to cap our stay. Lisa's local knowledge and awareness of hidden gems made the tour fun and interesting. We also appreciated Lisa's recommendations for other things to do in the city. Thanks for a fun-filled day!

My mother and I toured with Silvia on our first day in Madrid. She is very friendly, full of energy and provided us with her inside view of 3 neighborhoods (Salamanca, Malasaña and Centro). She took us off the touristy streets and it made the tour more personable. She also took us to one of her favorite lunch spots...La Pescaderia. It was delicious and very reasonable. If you’re looking for an overview of the city, I highly suggest requesting Silvia!

Minha experiência começou alguns dias antes da data marcada para o tour, sendo que Nicola, que foi responsável por me guiar no tour, me enviou emails me explicando em detalhes como iriamos nos encontrar, e uma sugestão de intinerário. Na hora marcada, começamos o passeio por Madri. Tive a oportunidade de conhecer vários detalhes históricos dos principais edifícios e ruas da cidade. Além disso, Nicola me levou a dois mercados para que eu pudesse experimentar um pouco da culinária local... o sanduiche ramón é imperdível, como também as croquetas!!! Para finalizar, uma passada por alguns dos museus da cidade, com destaque para o Museu do Prado. Bem, foi um dia agradabilíssimo, com o encontro de mais um amigo. se recomendo, claro, com certeza!
