"I had an amazing time on this walking tour through Madrid with Maria who was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, architecture, and culture and her passion for her city was evident. What made the experience even more special was how patient and encouraging she was with my Spanish. She took the time to speak with me in Spanish throughout the tour, helping me practice naturally in conversation while also explaining things clearly when I needed help. It felt like both a cultural experience and a language lesson at the same time. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone visiting Madrid. Gracias María! "

"Maria was an absolute delight. From the moment we met she taught me and inspired me to speak and love Español. She was very patient and encouraging and most of all a great teacher. I have vowed to practice so that next time we meet we can experience more beauty in Madrid. Gracias. "

"María really pushed me to learn more Spanish and the churros were great"

"J'ai passé un très bon moment avec Maria. Cette visite guidée en apprenant des phrases en espagnol était très originale et instructive , comme j'aime beaucoup la langue espagnol, j'ai vraiment adoré. Maria est une fille très sympathique, et qui m'a donné beaucoup d'informations concernant certains sujets sur la vie en Espagne. Mucho Gracias Maria. "

"My family of four absolutely loved the behind the scenes Flamenco experience with Elena. We opted for a castanet lesson which really made us appreciate the difficulty of the performances. Since the lesson was at an actual dance school we were also able to see real performers practicing for their upcoming shows. "

"We really enjoyed this tour and learnt a lot about Spanish. The churros at the end were delicious. The pace of the tour was perfect and amount of information given was ideal. "

"Elena is an amazing person, teacher and tour guide! Kindness and fun emanate from her. Our experience with her is something that we will always remember and appreciate. We chose Elena's Flamenco experience for my mother's birthday and from start to finish it was completely amazing! Elena immediately felt like a friend who really understood us and was ready to help in any way. She made excellent suggestions of places to go and things to do. Her energy is so engaging and positive. She took us to a magnificent Flamenco teacher and we had a ball dancing. We also loved watching the advanced students and we were so impressed by the teacher. Elena then gave us a lesson in the basics of castanets. As a teacher, Elena is so encouraging and intuitive that it was just such a pleasure to learn from her. Finally, we had a great time watching a Flamenco performance. Elena's tour was so perfectly crafted. She was so eager to help and ensure the best experience. We loved every minute of our tour. We would definitely recommend a tour with Elena!"

"Elena was like a friend we have not seen in a long time. She was very warm and friendly. The tour was one of the best we’ve had. "

"We had a fantastic evening with Elena learning all about flamenco and attempting to learn how to play the castanets! It felt like a ‘behind the scenes’ experience going into the flamenco school and seeing where the students practice and using one of their rehearsal rooms to try and learn the castanets ourselves. Elena was a great teacher (even though we were not great students 😂🙈) and it was such a unique experience. Following our lesson, we attending a flamenco show with dinner and we had such a greater understanding of the art of flamenco than we ever would have without spending time with Elena! If you are looking for a unique experience during your time in Madrid, we highly recommend you spend an evening with Elena learning about the history of Spain through flamenco! 💃 "

"It was very fun to visit about how Madrileños speak and live. Maria showed us the best churrería where the churros and chocolate were superb. We also learned a bit about tapas and basic vocabulary. Maria was a wonderful host. "
