Lisa made all the difference in introducing Madrid to our group of 8. She was so enthusiastic and best of all she really made adjustments as we went to tailor the experience. Our favorite was the mushroom stop, we wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for Lisa gently nudging us. I thought it was a bit touristy but it was on the contrary. As a foodie, the tappas we ordered were so authentic & unbelievably delicious. Highly recommend!

What you’ll do

Madrid is a city so full of life and culture and although it may be impossible to see it all in just a few hours, getting an authentic and memorable impression of this vibrant city is not. You’ll join one of our local Madrid hosts for a taste of what makes their city so special, in their humble opinion that is!

Whether you see yourself strolling along grand Baroque boulevards or gritty local neighborhoods, sipping vermouth and nibbling tapas on a terrace, or seeing some grand sights like the Royal Palace and Museo Nacional del Prado, it’s all up to you.

All we’re sure of is that your experience will be like exploring Madrid with a friend; just let us know what your style is, and we’ll do the rest! This golden metropolis will steal your heart one way or another, we’re just not sure if it will be watching the sunset from the Temple de Debod, in an obscure little tapas bar or while you’re eating your way around the recently refurbished Mercado de San Miguel - that part is all up to you and your host!
