Best start to Madrid - This was the best introduction to our time in Madrid and has inspired how we want to fill the rest of our days. Our guide, Glenn, was top notch, full of energy, passion, and quirky facts we would have never even thought to wonder about. I loved having a private tour so we could ask all our questions and really dive in on a personal level. If I could make any recommendation, it would be to make this your first order of business, ask for Glenn if you need a guide who speaks English or Dutch, and as an added splurge, order the private tour! You won’t be sorry you did.

Madrid Historical Walking Tour - Freddy was our guide of a small group of 6. He shared his vast knowledge of the area and its history while making it fun and interesting. His engaging personality was an added bonus. I highly recommend this tour the day you arrive…. it will help you better understand the layout of the city and the stories behind it.

The guide was late - We were told to get there 10 minutes early which we did but then we got a message from the guide saying he was going to be half an hour late and we weren’t prepared to wait 40 minutes so we left and didn’t do the tour. The guide said he was stuck in traffic but we think when you are doing a job like that you need to allow time for eventualities.
