Madrid walking tour - A very informative tour. Jean was very knowledgeable. Tour arranged at short notice as the original tour , Madrid and the civil war, was cancelled Weather was not ideal but that's all part of walking tours. One cannot fail to be better informed as a result

Excellent! - Our guide for our tour was Jean and he was fantastic. He was very important and had so much knowledge of the area. Nothing was too much trouble at all and he suggested that we contact afterwards too, if we required any further information- would highly recommend

Fantastic tour with Glen – Book this tour. Seriously - Glen was an amazing guide and made us fall in love with Madrid from minute one. Super knowledgeable, super friendly, and with just the right amount of humor history without the boredom (a rare talent). The tour was fun, well paced, and full of interesting stories you actually remember afterward. Glen also gave great local tips on where to eat, what to see, and what not to do (always appreciated 😄). It felt more like walking around the city with a local friend than being on a tour. If you’re in Madrid and thinking “should I book a tour?” yes. And make it this one with Glen. 10/10 would do it again.
