Experience the best of Madrid with Withlocals

"My 14-year-old daughter and I did a two-hour Prado tour with Iker, and it was excellent. We were short on time and wanted to focus on the most interesting works and stories, and the tour was perfectly tailored to that. Everything ran smoothly from the start - we met easily and stored our cases at the museum without issues. We covered around 15–20 key pieces, and for each one, Iker explained the history, context, and artistic reasoning in a genuinely fascinating way. The Prado is vast and can feel overwhelming, so having such a knowledgeable guide was invaluable. We also visited the Cloister of Los Jerónimos and learned about its history and how it’s been integrated into the museum. Although my daughter was a bit tired after a wedding the night before, I’m sure she’ll remember this visit as a meaningful addition to her art studies, she’s a keen artist. Iker was open, engaging, and kind, and we’re very grateful to have had him as our guide."

"Julian was spot-on with the history and dates, but kept everything light and easy to follow. He’s got a great sense of humor and gave us a really solid overview of Madrid that made the city feel more alive. He also shared great tips on what to do after the tour, which was super helpful. Would definitely recommend a tour with him."

"I had an enthralling 3 hour walk of historical centre of Madrid with Julio Cesar. His knowledge of this beautiful city is extraordinary and he is a very friendly guy! The time flew as we time traveled the 1500 years since the Moors were running the show around these parts."

"Ari was a wonderful guide, we really enjoyed our evening with her! Her customer service leading up to our tour was top notch as well!!"

"Julio Cesar Was wonderful. He gave us a great overview of all the neighborhoods of the city and talked to us about the culture Madrid which was perfect for us as we are considering moving there. He was also really great with my children. He did a great job explaining the couple of neighborhoods we saw and gave us a good restaurant recommendation and even stayed with us longer than planned so we could have a more comprehensive tour. When we come back to Madrid in the future we will definitely reach out!"

"Iker waited like a scholar ready to help us on our artistic journey. We were lucky that the crowds were minimal on our November visit. We absolutely had the best opportunity to explore the meaning of Hieronymus Bosch‘s Garden of Earthly Delights. His presentation of El Lavatorio was unforgettable. Overall an amazing tour and well worth it"
